On July 4th, in the Olympic basketball qualification match, the Philippines narrowly lost to Georgia with a score of 94-96. However, having previously defeated Latvia, the Philippines secured their spot in the semifinals of their region, bringing them one step closer to Olympic qualification.
Media personality San Tu Shi Ci shared his thoughts on the matter, as follows:
“Don’t find the end result peculiar; Georgia needed to calculate the point difference and took their chances in overtime…
The real shocker is that the Philippines are now in the regional semifinals… Can you believe it? It’s really happening!”
