LA Tenorio is balancing his new coaching role with Gilas Pilipinas Youth and his upcoming debut as the head coach of Magnolia in the PBA.
He will lead the Gilas Youth team in the 2025 FIBA U16 Asia Cup, starting with a game against Chinese Taipei on Sunday in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
The team is aiming for a strong start in Group B, which also includes New Zealand and Indonesia, with hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals.
The youth team’s success in the tournament could secure a spot in the 2026 FIBA U17 World Cup in Turkey.
Tenorio, who took over the national youth program earlier this year, has already made an impact with a strong training camp and a qualifying sweep in May.
