Luis Pablo has a busy schedule ahead with two tasks in front of him — one as a Green Archer with De La Salle University, and another as a Gilas Pilipinas 3×3 player for the upcoming Asian Games.

Pablo will play with the Taft-based squad first before flying to Japan on the 19th for the Asiad.

With a loaded schedule in the days ahead, Pablo said his passion fuels him to balance the two responsibilities.

“I think the main key in balancing is my willingness to play for both teams and to represent the country. So I think everyone will think it’s a bit challenging because there are two teams and two different categories,” Pablo said in a mix of English and Filipino on Tuesday.

“But I think my willingness and my passion for the sport is what gives me the motivation and energy. So, it balances out.”

Pablo will play alongside teammate Doy Dungo, former University of Santo Tomas standout Nic Cabañero, and his former teammate Koji Buenaflor for the Asiad 3×3.

“For us, we all have the same goal. It’s to win the gold,” Pablo said.

“Obviously, it’s Asian Games so the Philippines has a really high chance of winning it, and, you know, that’s our main goal, so that’s why every practice, we try to push ourselves.”

La Salle’s UAAP title defense campaign will open on Sunday, while the Asian Games will officially open on the 19th.
