Jean Henri Lhuillier Backs RP Blu Girls' Intensive Japan Training Camp Ahead of Women's Softball World Cup By Marlon Bernardino PhilBoxing.com Wed, 17 Jun 2026 Cebuana Lhuillier-backed RP Blu Girls are leaving no stone unturned as they intensify preparations for the upcoming WBSC Women's Softball World Cup, with an overseas training program in Japan forming a crucial part of their journey toward competing against the world's best. During a recent courtesy call with Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO and Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines (ASAPHIL) President Jean Henri Lhuillier, members of the national women's softball team shared updates on their training plans and preparations for the prestigious international tournament. The RP Blu Girls are set to compete in the WBSC Women's Softball World Cup Group Stage, scheduled from July 14 to 18 in Lima, Peru. The Philippines will face a formidable field in Group C, which includes world No. 1 Japan, No. 3 Puerto Rico, Great Britain, Venezuela, and host nation Peru. The Japan training camp is expected to provide the RP Blu Girls with valuable opportunities to sharpen their skills, strengthen team chemistry, and gain exposure to a highly competitive softball environment. Known as one of Asia's softball powerhouses, Japan offers an ideal setting for the Philippine team to elevate its level of play ahead of the World Cup. The initiative was made possible through the unwavering support of Lhuillier, whose long-standing commitment to Philippine softball has played a significant role in sustaining the RP Blu Girls' growth and competitiveness on the international stage. "For years, the RP Blu Girls have demonstrated what Filipino athletes are capable of when given the opportunity to train, compete, and represent the country at the highest level. As they prepare for another World Cup campaign, it is our responsibility to ensure they have the support they need to succeed," said Lhuillier. "This courtesy call is a reminder that our work goes beyond sending teams to competitions. It is about investing in their journey, providing meaningful opportunities for development, and standing beside them every step of the way." Under Lhuillier's leadership, ASAPHIL has continued to prioritize athlete development through sustained support, international exposure, and grassroots initiatives to strengthen the country's softball program. As the 13th-ranked team in the world, the RP Blu Girls will look to capitalize on the experience gained from their international exposure and training as they aim to make a strong showing against some of the sport's top-ranked nations.-Marlon Bernardino - Click here to view a list of other articles written by Marlon Bernardino.  |
