"I hate to say it but as for winning a gold medal, no, I don’t think we can do it ," said Martin Araneta, who replaced Butch Oreta as head coach last April.  "We are still a long way behind compared to other Southeast Asian countries." 


Even a repeat of RP’s bronze medal finish in the previous SEAG in Vietnam is no guarantee, according to him.
