“The goal I set for myself is to help grow and promote the sport of netball in Asia while maintaining and preserving the cultural diversity and ethnic identity of its people,” said Ho, who is also president of the Southeast Asian Netball Association.

The Asian Netball Federation is the sport’s governing organization. Netball is also where Women’s basketball started. 

Among the World Netball’s 70 member countries, the Philippines has the youngest netball population.

Ho will be serving alongside newly-elected officers Datin Narumon Siriwat (President, Thailand), Victoria Lakshmi (VP, Sri Lanka), Tina Chen (Chinese Taipei, Treasurer), and Vivian De Silva (Honorary Secretary, Singapore).
