#GilasPilipinas already has three loss in #FIBABasketballWorldCup2014 as of today (September 2, 2014), defeated from Croatia (CRO 81 | PHI 78), Greece (GRE 82 | PHI 70), and Argentina (ARG 85 | PHI 81). However, Team Philippines amazed the world on their skills in basketball. All games was so close eventhough many called the team as underdog indeed they showed to the world that Philippines really belongs.

In spite of the loses, they really made the Filipinos proud to each of every games they made, making it so close and doing highlight shots no matter how big their opponents were. And yes, Gilas Pilipinas is the World Champion for us. They rock the world!
