MANILA, Philippines – Filipino-Dutch midfielder Jason de Jong arrived in Manila on Saturday to rejoin the Philippine Azkals for their World Cup qualifier against Kuwait.
De Jong, who played for the national team in the 2010 ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup, arrived from Belgium via Hong Kong.
“I think we have a good chance [against Kuwait] because I saw the game last time, especially the game in Rizal,” he said.
He will join Filipino-Danish Jerry Lucena, Filipino-German John Patrick Hinrichsen, and Filipino- Icelandic Ray Jonsson in beefing up the Azkals in the absence of team captain Aly Borromeo and midfielder Stephan Schrock.
Borromeo and Schrock were suspended for 1 game after getting 2 yellow cards each in the first-round tie against Sri Lanka.

De Jong ready to join national team to SEAG
MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine football team has not closed its doors on Jason de Jong, the Fil-Dutch midfielder who was dropped from the Azkals crew for disciplinary reasons.
Coach Michael Weiss said the 21-year-old De Jong could return to the Phl fold, albeit not as a member of the Azkals seniors squad yet but via the under-23 team being formed for the Southeast Asian Games.

PERSIBA RELEASE DE JONG FOR INDISCIPLINE
JAKARTA (5 May 2011) – Indonesian Super League (ISL) side Persiba Balikpapan have decided to part ways with Philippines international midfielder Jason de Jong.
Citing indiscipline and the failure to consistently attend training, the management at Persiba Balikpapan have officially ended their contract with De Jong.
De Jong was signed by Persiba for just half a season of the ISL for the sum of IDR 500 million (USD58,000).
The team then felt that they needed a calibre midfield player and that was the reason why de Jong was signed after the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010.
“Jason De Jong has proven to be unable to fulfil his duty as a player for Persiba. And in accordance with the contract, the management has the right to rescind it when a player fails in his duties,” said Muhdar from Persiba’s Legal Affairs.
With de Jong only serving Persiba for just three months, his last drawn salary for April will be for only IDR 48million (USD5,600).
