Pilipinas kicked Kazakhstan out of the tournament, 106-77

In a lopsided game na nag-crunch ang Kazakhstan, nasayang ang lahat yan dahil sa homecourt advantage natin at maling GDP nila. The team was led by Benson Villarivera off the bench with an efficient 18pts, 4rebs & 2asts in just 19mins. 4 starters put up double digits points with the trio of Pinong Demape (16pts & 2rebs), Jiffrey Sumalapao (14pts, 2rebs & 2asts) and Melecio Sidad (13pts, 2rebs, 4asts & 6fls). Augustus Moleno had himself a 12-12 double-double and 3blks while Fortunato Arcega had 6pts, 19rebs & 5asts.

Sa lunes na ang simula ng susunod na group stage at talaga namang matindi ang grupo natin ngayon. Sa susunod na linggo ay welcome na challenge against Taiwan nang ma-test natin agad ang koponan laban sa isa sa mga powerhouse ng Asya. Ang schedule natin sa susunod na limang linggo ay:
GW8 - Taiwan (WR#11)
GW9 - New Zealand (WR#79)
GW10 - Indonesia (WR#47)
GW11 - Hong Kong (WR#9)
GW12 - Singapore (WR#41)

Looking forward sa magandang GS sa friday update dahil isa sa pinakamalaking laro natin ito this season. Maraming salamat sa lahat na patuloy ang suporta sa ating koponan.

Laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas beat Indonesia, 103-81

We managed to overcome a slow start against Indonesia and they were withing striking distance to make a comeback considering more effort din sila. Luckily, we managed to stave them off shut them down in the 4th quarter. 4 starters scored in double figures with Jiffrey Sumalapao (24pts, 4rebs, 8asts, 2stls & 2blks) and Augustus Moleno (16pts, 15rebs, 2asts & 2blks) leading the team throughout the game.

Laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas bows out of the medal race, lose to Hong Kong, 91-60

In a game where we had more effort and homecourt advantage, di pa rin natinag ang Hong Kong at napanatili nila ang lamang nila sa buong laro. Si Melecio Sidad (17pts, 6rebs, 2asts) at Jiffrey Sumalapao (10pts, 3asts) ang mga naka-double digit na puntos. Wala tayong panama sa HK as we lose by 31pts.

Next week na ang last game natin, against Singapore, at tapos na ang ating kampanya this season.

Maraming salamat. Laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas secures a win in the last game of the round against Singapore, 113-94

Sa huling competitive na laro natin this season ay nanalo naman tayo against Singapore. Unfortunately, di tayo aabot sa medal round na naman dahil 3rd lang tayo sa grupo. We will go through the World Championships Qualifier to see kung makakaabot tayo sa World Championships next season. Our opponent will be decided after ng game mamaya for Semis ng iba't-ibang Continental Championship.

Maraming salamat at Laban Pilipinas!
