MANILA--LA Tenorio's homecoming as a head coach may have to wait.
The city of San Fernando in Pampanga will host the FIBA U16 Asia Cup SEABA Qualifiers next month.
SEABA initially booked Batangas, Tenorio's home province, as the site for the youth basketball event scheduled from May 24-30.
However, in an announcement by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas on Monday, San Fernando got the hosting rights instead.
SBP executive director Erika Dy and event director Butch Antonio met with Pampanga governor Delta Pineda to formally set the event hosting.
The FIBA U16 Asia Cup SEABA Qualifiers will happen at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center, the home of defending MPBL champions Pampanga Giant Lanterns.
Gilas Pilipinas is the heavy favorite to top the tournament in Tenorio's first foray as national team head coach.
