    Kiefer Ravena retires from Gilas Pilipinas after long international career

    Veteran guard Kiefer Ravena has officially closed the chapter on his international basketball career, announcing that his time representing the Philippine men’s national basketball team, Gilas Pilipinas, has come to an end.

     

    After more than a decade of wearing the national colors at various levels, Ravena said he is ready to step aside and make way for the next generation of Filipino players. The 32-year-old guard reflected on his journey with the national team, describing his experience as a memorable and rewarding chapter of his career.

     

    “I’m done with my career with the national team. It has been fun,” Ravena said to the media while attending Alex Eala’s “Play Mind Games” meet-and-greet event at Nike Fort in Taguig on Monday, July 13.

    Ravena’s Gilas Pilipinas journey began long before he became a fixture in the senior national team. He first represented the country at the youth level in 2009 with the Philippine men’s national Under-17 basketball team, beginning a long association with international basketball that would see him compete in major tournaments across different age groups and formats.

     

    Over the years, Ravena became one of the most recognizable figures in Philippine basketball, known for his leadership, competitiveness, and ability to perform in high-pressure situations. He eventually made the transition to the senior national team, becoming a key contributor in Gilas Pilipinas’ campaigns in international competitions.

     

    His final appearance for the national team came during the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, which was hosted by the Philippines. Ravena played five games in the tournament, averaging 2.6 points and 1.8 assists per game as part of the Gilas squad that competed against some of the world’s top basketball nations.

     

    However, following the transition from former head coach Chot Reyes to current mentor Tim Cone, Ravena found himself outside the national team rotation. Despite calls from some supporters for his return due to his experience and familiarity with international basketball, the veteran guard acknowledged that the program had moved in a different direction.

     

    Ravena accepted the decision and expressed his understanding that the national team is focused on developing a new generation of players who can carry Philippine basketball forward.

    “A lot of people said na hindi pa kailangan, pero nag-retire na nga. That’s the direction that they are going, so for me, there’s no problem with that,” he added.

     

    Although he has made his decision public, Ravena clarified that he has not formally communicated his retirement from Gilas Pilipinas to the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP). For the veteran guard, his decision was personal and did not require an official announcement beyond sharing his intentions.

     

    “I don’t think I have to do that. I don’t think I have to tell anybody at this point of my career, where I am,” Ravena continued.

     

    While his national team career has ended, Ravena’s professional basketball journey continues. The former NLEX Road Warriors standout recently signed with the Ryukyu Golden Kings in the Japan B. League, opening a new chapter as he focuses on extending his club career overseas.

     

    Ravena said he remains fully supportive of Gilas Pilipinas and believes the country’s future remains bright with the emergence of younger players who will take on the responsibility of representing the Philippines on the international stage.

     

    “I’m very happy that I was able to have that opportunity. I’m just in full support for the national team and the next generation of athletes who will represent the Philippines. It’s not that I wasn’t able to represent the country in my career. I have done it in the past. Walang kulang, no regrets, and just full of love. Pro career, and pro family,” he concluded.

     

    During his time with Gilas Pilipinas, Ravena collected numerous achievements and became one of the country’s most decorated national team players. He was part of five Southeast Asian Games gold medal-winning campaigns from 2011 to 2019, helping the Philippines maintain its dominance in regional basketball.

     

    Beyond his medal haul, Ravena’s impact on the national program extended beyond statistics. He served as a veteran presence in the locker room, offering leadership to younger teammates while representing the competitive spirit associated with Philippine basketball.

     

    As he moves forward with his professional career in Japan, Ravena leaves Gilas Pilipinas with a legacy built on commitment, consistency, and pride in representing the country. Though his national team chapter has ended, his influence on Philippine basketball is expected to continue as he enters the next phase of his career.

  • Kiefer Ravena signs with Ryukyu after strong stint with Yokohama 

    Kiefer Ravena signs with Ryukyu after strong stint with Yokohama 

    Kiefer Ravena is no longer just looking to compete in Japan—he’s now putting himself in position to chase a championship.

     

    After spending the last five seasons building his reputation in the B.League, the Filipino playmaker has earned a move to one of the competition’s most successful organizations, signing with the Ryukyu Golden Kings for the 2026-27 campaign.

     

    The Golden Kings officially unveiled Ravena as their newest acquisition on Friday, adding another seasoned floor general to a roster that came within one series of capturing the B.League title last season.

     

    For Ravena, the opportunity represents more than a change of scenery.

     

    It is the reward for years of steady growth since leaving the PBA to test himself overseas.

    “I’m very excited to be part of the Ryukyu Golden Kings,” Ravena said in the team’s official announcement.

     

    “As one of the top organizations in the league, I’ll be ready to do my best to represent the city of Okinawa and the fans of the Kings.”

     

    The move also signals a significant step forward in the 32-year-old’s Japanese career.

     

    Ravena first arrived in the B.League with the Shiga Lakes before establishing himself over the past two seasons as one of the Yokohama B-Corsairs’ most dependable two-way guards.

    Rather than relying solely on scoring, Ravena became known for his versatility, leadership, and ability to impact both ends of the floor—qualities that made him an attractive addition for a championship contender.

     

    Last season, he averaged 11.9 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.8 rebounds while connecting on 37 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc, continuing to prove he could thrive against Japan’s top competition.

     

    Now, those contributions will be directed toward one of the B.League’s elite clubs.

     

    Ryukyu enters the new season with unfinished business after compiling a 42-18 regular-season record before advancing to the league finals, where it settled for a runner-up finish.

     

    The Golden Kings also showcased their strength internationally, placing third in the 2025-26 East Asia Super League.

     

    For Ravena, joining a team with legitimate championship aspirations presents a different kind of challenge from his previous stops.

     

    After years of helping clubs build and compete, he now finds himself in an environment where the expectation isn’t simply making the playoffs—it’s winning the title.

     

    As he prepares for his sixth season in Japan, Ravena takes another important step in a career that continues to evolve beyond Philippine basketball, this time with an opportunity to contribute to one of Asia’s most accomplished professional organizations.

  • Kiefer Ravena extends Japan stint, moves to third team in B.League 

    Kiefer Ravena extends Japan stint, moves to third team in B.League 

    Kiefer Ravena’s run in Japan is far from over, with the Filipino guard confirming he will remain in the B.League and continue his professional career with a new team following the end of his stint with the Yokohama B-Corsairs.


    His contract with Yokohama officially concluded after the 2026 Japan B.League regular season, closing a two-year chapter that saw him play a key role for the club. 

     

    But rather than signaling a return elsewhere, Ravena made it clear that another opportunity in Japan is already waiting—just not yet revealed.

     

    “I’m staying in Japan, just transferring teams, continuing my growth as a player and as a man,” Ravena said.

     

    The 32-year-old guard averaged 11.9 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.8 rebounds per game for the B-Corsairs, who finished the season with a 26-34 record. 

     

    While the numbers reflect his steady contribution, Ravena’s impact has also been defined by his leadership and consistency as one of the team’s primary backcourt options.

     

    This next move extends a Japanese journey that began in 2021, when Ravena first joined the Shiga Lakestars, now known as the Shiga Lakes.

    He spent three seasons there before making the switch to Yokohama in 2024, where he continued to build his reputation as one of the most recognizable Filipino imports in the league.

     

    Now, with a third B.League stop on the horizon, Ravena remains one of the key figures in the steady rise of Filipino talent in Japan’s top professional basketball league.

     

    For Ravena, however, his decision to stay overseas goes beyond statistics or team changes. The experience itself continues to be the driving force behind his career.

     

    “Not that I have more motivation to play basketball, to represent Jordan Brand, play for my family, and my own family in the future, pero sobrang rejuvenating,” the former Gilas Pilipinas guard said.

     

    Since leaving the PBA in 2021, Ravena has helped pave the way for more Filipino players to take their talents globally, becoming one of the early faces of the B.League’s growing international presence.

     

    While his next destination remains under wraps, one thing is clear—Ravena’s Japan story is still being written, with another chapter set to begin soon in a new jersey.

  • Dwight Ramos, Kiefer Ravena headline B.League’s Manila return as Japan league deepens PH connection 

    Dwight Ramos, Kiefer Ravena headline B.League’s Manila return as Japan league deepens PH connection 

    The Japan B.League is no longer just exporting basketball games to the Philippines — it is steadily building a basketball culture around its growing Filipino fanbase.

     

    For the second straight year, the league is bringing its Finals Week to Manila, turning the country into an extension of its postseason stage while showcasing the Filipino players who have helped strengthen the B.League’s presence locally.

     

    Set from May 21 to 24 at SM Megamall, the event goes beyond simply airing the B.League Finals on a giant screen. It serves as a celebration of the league’s expanding relationship with Philippine basketball, fueled heavily by the success and popularity of its Filipino imports.

     

    Leading the expected guest lineup are some of the most recognizable overseas Filipino players today — Dwight Ramos of Levanga Hokkaido, Ray Parks Jr. of Osaka Evessa, Francis Lopez of Fighting Eagles Nagoya, and Kiefer Ravena of the Yokohama B-Corsairs.

     

    Their attendance highlights how deeply intertwined Filipino talent has become with the Japanese league in recent years.

     

    What started with a few pioneering imports has now evolved into a steady pipeline of Filipino players making meaningful impacts overseas, while simultaneously helping the B.League gain traction among basketball fans back home.

    This year’s Finals Week also expands beyond fan interaction.

     

    Alongside the Finals watch party, the league will once again stage the B.Hope Asia Jr. Clinic as part of its grassroots efforts in the region. Young players will also get the chance to compete in the B.Hope Asia 1-on-1 Challenge featuring under-14 standouts from northern and southern Manila.

     

    The timing of the Manila festivities also comes with added intrigue as the B.League championship picture nears its conclusion.

     

    As of writing, Quentin Millora-Brown remains the lone Filipino import still alive in the title race with the Chiba Jets, keeping local representation active deep into the playoffs.

     

    Still in contention as well are the Nagasaki Velca, Nagoya Diamond Dolphins, and Ryukyu Golden Kings.

     

    Meanwhile, AJ Edu and the Gunma Crane Thunders saw their campaign end in the quarterfinals after a tough three-game series loss to Chiba.

     

    Even with some Filipino stars already eliminated, the Manila event reinforces one thing clearly: the connection between Philippine basketball and the B.League continues to grow stronger with every season.

  • Kai Sotto, Kiefer Ravena, and Ray Parks close B.League chapters as new journeys await 

    Kai Sotto, Kiefer Ravena, and Ray Parks close B.League chapters as new journeys await 

    A major changing of the guard is unfolding in Japan for three of Philippine basketball’s biggest overseas names.

     

    After the close of the 2025-26 B.League season, Bobby Ray Parks Jr., Kiefer Ravena, and Kai Sotto have all officially parted ways with their respective clubs, bringing simultaneous endings to three high-profile Filipino stints in Japanese basketball.

     

    For years, the trio represented part of the growing Filipino wave in the B.League — recognizable names carrying both pedigree and pressure while carving out careers abroad. Now, all three head into uncertain but intriguing new chapters.

     

    Among the three teams, Yokohama B-Corsairs posted the strongest finish with a 26-34 record, placing 15th overall. Ravena remained one of the team’s stabilizing pieces throughout the campaign, averaging 11.9 points and 3.2 assists in what ultimately became his final season with the club.

     

    “Thank you very much, Yokohama, for being my home for the past two years. It was amazing playing in front of the B-COR Boosters, and I’m looking forward to seeing you guys again soon!” shared Ravena.

     

    Meanwhile, Osaka Evessa closed its season at 23-37 despite another productive campaign from Parks, who averaged 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

     

    “Thank you, Osaka, for embracing me from day one. The love and support from this city, the fans, and the community meant everything to me. I’m grateful to have worn this jersey and to have been accepted as one of your own. Osaka will always have a special place in my heart,” expressed Parks.

    Despite their exits, both Ravena and Parks are widely expected to remain in Japan, with reports indicating new B.League destinations may already be lined up pending official announcements.

    The situation surrounding Sotto, however, carries a different level of intrigue.

     

    Koshigaya Alphas endured a difficult season and finished 19th with a 21-39 record, but Sotto still managed to leave a strong impression after returning from injury in January.

     

    The 7-foot-2 center averaged 13.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across 28 games, showing flashes of the versatility and mobility that continue to attract international interest.

     

    “I’m really thankful to the Alphas community for the two years I’ve spent here. Uehara-san and Ryuzo-san, thank you for giving me the chance to showcase what I can do, as well as another opportunity after I suffered a midseason ACL injury and for offering me the chance to come back for another year. Koshigaya will always have a special place in my heart. Right now, the future is still uncertain, but the Alphas family will forever be remembered by me,” shared Sotto.

     

    Unlike Ravena and Parks, whose next stops may still remain inside the B.League, Sotto’s path could potentially stretch beyond Japan.

     

    The Filipino big man is expected to pursue an opportunity in the NBA Summer League this July, with several offers reportedly already on the table as he weighs the next move of his still-evolving career.

     

    For now, though, one thing is clear: three familiar Filipino faces who helped strengthen the country’s presence in Japan are officially turning the page together.

  • From Mother to Champion: The Women behind some of PH sports’ biggest stars 

    From Mother to Champion: The Women behind some of PH sports’ biggest stars 

    Before the medals, championships, and international recognition, many of the Philippines’ biggest sports stars first grew up watching greatness at home.

     

    This Mother’s Day, the spotlight shifts to the athlete-mothers whose own journeys in sports helped shape the careers — and mindsets — of the next generation.

     

    For some families, excellence was inherited through discipline. For others, it was built through years of courtside support, shared training sessions, and sacrifices away from the spotlight.

    Long before Stephanie Mercado became one of the country’s top volleyball players, her mother Lydia de Vega had already become one of Philippine sports’ most iconic figures.

     

    Known as Asia’s sprint queen during the 1980s, Lydia dominated regional athletics competitions and represented the Philippines in two Olympic Games before eventually raising a family while continuing her decorated career.

     

    Stephanie later carved out her own legacy in volleyball, helping the De La Salle Lady Spikers win multiple UAAP championships before transitioning into broadcasting.

     

    Despite Lydia’s fierce reputation as a competitor, Stephanie remembered her most as a devoted parent.

     

    “Our mom was a super disciplinarian, but her love for us was incomparable,” Stephanie said in 2022.

     

    In tennis, Alex Eala inherited not only athletic ability but also the experience of having a mother who once represented the country herself.

     

    Before becoming one of the top-ranked Filipina tennis players in the world, Alex grew up under the guidance of former national swimmer Rizza Maniego-Eala, who won a bronze medal in the 1985 Southeast Asian Games.

     

    Today, Rizza and husband Mike are familiar faces at Alex’s tournaments around the world as the young Filipina star continues her rise on the global stage.

     

    “I want to thank her for being the amazing woman that she is and for helping me become the woman that I am,” Alex said in tribute to her mother during International Women’s Day earlier this year.

    For the Ravena family, sports became a way of life.

     

    While much attention has gone to former PBA player Bong Ravena, it was also their mother Mozzy Ravena — a former standout for the UST Golden Tigresses — who helped shape the competitive environment that produced Kiefer Ravena, Thirdy Ravena, and Dani Ravena.

     

    As all three children pursued high-level sports careers, Mozzy embraced the demanding role of being both parent and constant supporter.

     

    “It’s difficult but enjoyable,” Mozzy shared in a past interview. “It’s physically hard, especially if you have a job, you need to find time to watch their games. But the reward makes up for the exhaustion.”

     

    Meanwhile, triathlon rising star Kira Ellis practically grew up inside the sport.

     

    Her mother Doray Ellis, alongside husband Mark, immersed their daughter in the triathlon lifestyle from an early age — a foundation that eventually helped Kira become one of the country’s brightest young endurance athletes.

     

    “We’re really addicted to the sport,” Doray said in a podcast interview. “Kira was born into triathlon. I was doing triathlon when she was conceived and everything.”

     

    “Growing up she would see us, train, race, go up to the podium,” Doray added. “She really grew up seeing triathlon as part of our day-to-day life.”

     

    For these families, talent may have opened the door, but it was the example set by their mothers that helped sustain the journey.

     

    And long before their children became stars themselves, these women had already shown them what dedication, sacrifice, and love for sport truly looked like.

  • Kiefer Ravena’s nine threes lead Yokohama past Kai Sotto’s monster double-double, Koshigaya in double OT win

    Kiefer Ravena’s nine threes lead Yokohama past Kai Sotto’s monster double-double, Koshigaya in double OT win

    In a weekend showdown that highlighted the growing influence of Filipino stars in Japan’s B.LEAGUE, Kiefer Ravena delivered a career-defining performance to propel the Yokohama B-Corsairs past Kai Sotto and the Koshigaya Alphas, 96-93, in a double-overtime thriller on Sunday, March 29. 

     

    The victory completed a weekend sweep for Yokohama, following a narrow 78-70 win over the same opponent on Saturday.

     

    Ravena was simply unstoppable, erupting for 32 points while draining nine three-pointers—both career highs in Japan.

     

    His nine triples placed him among an elite group of players, becoming only the 12th in B.LEAGUE history to reach that mark in a single game. The B1 record of 11 three-pointers, shared by former MVPs Yuki Togashi and Kosuke Kanamaru, is now tantalizingly close for the explosive guard.

     

    Ravena’s sharpshooting kept Yokohama in control in clutch moments, including both overtime periods, demonstrating his ability to rise to the occasion when the stakes are highest.

     

    For the Alphas, the spotlight belonged to Kai Sotto, who showcased his dominant presence inside the paint. Sotto recorded a career-high 19 rebounds, eclipsing his previous best of 18 boards set in December 2024 during a victory against the Kawasaki Brave Thunders.

    He also added 21 points and four assists, displaying a well-rounded game that combined scoring and playmaking with his trademark rebounding prowess. Despite his monumental effort, Koshigaya was unable to overcome Ravena’s offensive onslaught and fell to 16-30, marking their fourth consecutive loss.

     

    The game itself was a rollercoaster of tension and momentum swings. Yokohama seemed in control early, but the Alphas repeatedly clawed back, forcing both teams into overtime. 

     

    Ravena’s clutch triples and calm decision-making in the final minutes proved decisive, while Sotto’s determination on the boards kept Koshigaya alive in the contest until the final buzzer. 

     

    The double-overtime showdown was a testament to the resilience and competitive fire of both Filipino stars.

     

    With the win, Yokohama now boasts four victories in their last five games, improving to 19-27 for the season. Their confidence will be put to the test next against defending champion Utsunomiya Brex (34-12), a matchup that could shape their playoff aspirations. 

     

    Meanwhile, Koshigaya seeks to halt their skid in their upcoming game against Kawasaki Brave Thunders (12-34).

  • Love Off the Court: Filipino Athletes and Their Celebrity Partners

    Love Off the Court: Filipino Athletes and Their Celebrity Partners

    From championship arenas to red carpets, some of the Philippines’ biggest sports stars are sharing the spotlight with equally high-profile partners from entertainment, media, and the digital space. These athlete-celebrity relationships have captured public attention—not just for who they are, but for how seamlessly their worlds collide.

     

    Ray Parks Jr. & Zeinab Harake

     

    One of the most talked-about unions in recent memory, Ray Parks Jr. and Zeinab Harake turned their real-life love story into a modern fairytale. The veteran Gilas Pilipinas guard and the top-tier content creator married in June 2025 following a widely followed engagement that featured mutual proposals—one in the Philippines and another in Japan.

     

    Parks, known for his calm leadership on the court and stints abroad, has often credited Zeinab as a grounding presence during transitions in his career. Harake, meanwhile, has brought fans along for the ride through her vlogs, offering glimpses of their life that helped humanize one of Philippine basketball’s most recognizable names.


    Kiefer Ravena & Diana Mackey

     

    Kiefer Ravena’s relationship with Diana Mackey unfolded quickly—but not quietly. The former UAAP MVP and Gilas mainstay married the beauty queen and former Pinoy Big Brother housemate in June 2025, just months after their relationship became public in late 2024.

     

    Ravena, who has played professionally both locally and overseas, has long kept his personal life guarded. That made the announcement all the more surprising—and warmly received. Mackey, a former Miss World Philippines candidate, has since become a steady courtside presence, offering visible support as Ravena continues to balance leadership responsibilities and international commitments.

     

    Carlos Yulo & Chloe San Jose

     

    Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo has found a different kind of balance away from the gym with influencer Chloe San Jose. While both have kept details of their relationship relatively private, the pair have become familiar faces at high-profile events, including the 2025 ABS-CBN Ball.

     

    Yulo’s rise as one of the most decorated Filipino athletes of his generation has placed him firmly in the national spotlight. San Jose, known for her lifestyle and fashion content, complements that visibility, with the couple often embodying a modern blend of sports excellence and pop-culture relevance.

    Bianca Gonzalez & JC Intal

     

    Long before athlete-celebrity pairings became commonplace, Bianca Gonzalez and JC Intal quietly built one of the most enduring partnerships in Philippine sports and media. The respected TV host and the retired PBA player tied the knot on December 4, 2014.

     

    Intal, once known as the league’s “Mr. Intensity,” transitioned smoothly into life after basketball, while Gonzalez remained a mainstay in broadcasting and advocacy work. Together, they’ve become an example of stability—balancing public careers with family life while largely staying away from the celebrity rumor mill.

     

    EJ Laure & Bugoy Cariño

    Volleyball star EJ Laure and actor Bugoy Cariño represent a younger generation of athlete-celebrity couples navigating life in the public eye. The Nxled Chameleons veteran and the former child actor have been together for years and share a daughter, Scarlet.

     

    Laure, a former UAAP standout, has spoken openly about how motherhood reshaped her perspective both on and off the court. Cariño, now taking on more mature acting roles, has likewise embraced family life, with the couple often praised for their openness and authenticity.

     

    Jimmy Alapag & LJ Moreno

     

    A staple of Philippine basketball history, Jimmy Alapag’s partnership with actress LJ Moreno predates much of today’s social-media-driven celebrity culture. Married for over a decade, the former PBA MVP and Gilas captain and the former actress have built a life largely centered on family, faith, and transitions beyond basketball.

     

    As Alapag moved into coaching and management roles, Moreno stepped away from showbiz, choosing a quieter life abroad with their children—proof that not all athlete-celebrity stories need constant spotlight to endure.

     

    More Than Just Power Couples

     

    What ties these relationships together isn’t just fame—it’s visibility, balance, and mutual support. Whether navigating overseas careers, post-retirement life, or the pressures of national attention, these Filipino athletes and their celebrity partners continue to show how personal stability can coexist with professional excellence.
