In this campaign, Gilas Pilipinas carries not just a roster, but a renewed purpose: a blend of elite talent, with seasoned leadership, and a proud Philippine basketball tradition that is ready to compete on the world stage. The path will be demanding – against resource-rich programs, bigger and more physically-endowed talents and disciplined systems – but the triangle of depth, versatility, and unyielding national pride gives them a strong inspiration.
On 2 July 2018, in a match that was part of the 2019 Basketball World Cup Asian qualification process, the Philippines would be involved in a huge brawl against a heftier Australian national team. The game was held at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, with Australia leading comfortably 89-53 with a minute left in the 3rd quarter, when the free-for-all ensued. Nine Gilas players and 4 Aussies were ejected as a result of the brawl.
