"Some of the opponents that the girls have faced have been difficult. However, I believe that with the right amount of determination and grit, our girls can still finish strong. We only need to have faith."
The PH team’s quest is being supported by the nation’s flag carrier, Philippine Airlines.
Chinese Taipei and Puerto Rico will open the Super Round on October 26 at 11:00 am followed by the game between Philippines and Japan at 14:00, and Mexico and USA at 17:00.
