September 1 ------ New Filipinas head coach Mark Torcaso has called up 27 players including 12 newcomers to a training camp in Manila, the Philippine women's national football team announced.

Torcaso, who took charge of the national team last August 23, called up a handful of homegrown talents, some of whom have been shining in the PFF Women's League. The coach said in a recent interview that there is "so much talent" in the Philippines, both in the senior and youth levels. "Just looking at the players that we've got here, it's clear that there's a lot of technically gifted players here. Let's try and find a few more, and let's try and develop that into being good team players and creating an environment where they're all together as one, and they're working together for each other, but letting those technical abilities shine a little bit," said Torcaso.
