🇵🇭🔥 TWO WINS AWAY FROM THE WORLD STAGE.
Tapos na ang group phase para sa Gilas Pilipinas U18, at kahit hindi naging perfect ang campaign, buhay na buhay pa ang laban.
The Philippines finished 2nd in Group A with a 2-1 record, behind Australia.
✅ 89-88 vs Chinese Taipei
❌ 69-107 vs Australia
✅ 91-62 vs Thailand
At ngayon, mas seryoso na ang bawat possession.
🏀 NEXT: PHILIPPINES vs SYRIA 🇵🇭🆚🇸🇾
📅 August 20, 2026
📍 Veer Savarkar Indoor Stadium, Ahmedabad, India
⏰ Time: TBD
🎯 Qualification to Quarter-Finals
Simple na ang sitwasyon.
Beat Syria, pasok sa Quarter-Finals.
At kapag nanalo ulit sa Quarter-Finals?
🔥 SEMI-FINALS.
🌍 QUALIFIED FOR THE 2027 FIBA U19 BASKETBALL WORLD CUP.
Ibig sabihin, dalawang panalo na lang ang Gilas Youth mula sa World Cup.
Pero hindi dapat maliitin ang Syria.
They may have finished 1-2 in their group, pero tinalo nila ang Lebanon, 72-64, para makuha ang kanilang first U18 Asia Cup win in 14 years.
At may size din sila sa ilalim.
Kaya para sa Gilas, kailangan ulit ang parehong energy na ipinakita nila kontra Thailand. Defense, rebounding, ball movement, at composure kapag umiinit ang laban.
So far, JB Cagurungan leads the Philippines in scoring at 11.7 PPG, habang sina Ethan Aguas, Elias Gish, Chog Moral at the rest of the squad continue to contribute in different ways.
Ito na yung part ng tournament na wala nang room para sa bad game.
One game at a time.
First, SYRIA.
Then hopefully, one more win for something much bigger.
🇵🇭 TWO WINS FROM THE WORLD STAGE.
