Vanessa de Jesus, an 18-year-old Filipino basketball sensation. Born to Filipino parents in Valencia, California, De Jesus collected accolades in high school, including the All-CIF Open Division 1st team, All-Gold Coast League MVP, and All-CIF Southern Section Co-Player of the Year awards. She averaged 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 steals in her final year with Sierra Canyon. De Jesus, a 5-foot-8 point guard, has been putting Filipinos in the limelight with her achievements. One day, she hopes to play for the Philippine team and represent her parents' home country in international tournaments. "Just being able to represent Filipino basketball players in California, in the US, it's just an honor," she said. "I'm interested in playing for the Philippines because I saw how big basketball is there. I've seen so many things from afar of how much you guys love basketball. I love basketball too so I'm very excited about that." Gilas Women head coach Patrick Aquino believes that De Jesus can open the door for other Filipinos who are aspiring to join elite women's basketball programs in the U.S. "With Vanessa coming into Duke, it's a good opportunity for other Fil-Am girls who are there, and also other Filipinas who want to play or be scouted by other big schools," said Aquino. "The opportunity of having a great program and having coach Kara, I'm just happy for her and wishing her good luck. Hopefully, those experiences she's gonna get from Duke, she will give back to the Philippine national team in the future." Due to FIBA rules that require a player to acquire a passport before the age of 16, De Jesus can only compete as a Filipino local in FIBA 3x3, Southeast Asian Games, Asian Games, and Jones Cup. De Jesus, who played for club team California Storm, said her basketball career was largely influenced by WNBA superstars Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird.

Thanks for sharing. I hope she stays here and pursue her career with WNBA. She can do everything here and make her roots proud. I'm not against her representing Phils in future games but the system is so corrupt. Pagod na kami sa puro Puso lang. Our talents need international exposure.

She has to improve her right hand which im sure she will with the guidance of coach kara and the rest of Duke coaching team. I noticed that she is always going left which makes her easier to defend gotta mix it up But she's only a freshman so expect her to improve alot! I won't be surprised if she makes it to Wnba she's that good.
