We need more taller women, sana yung ibang bangko sa volleyball ay magswitch na lang sa basketball.

[@apolloarguilla9443]

Claire Castro, many of us misses you so much!

[@SerJedOfficial]

Kacey dela Rosa, d 6 footer rookie center of Ateneo wud be a big help for Women's Gilas next time plus 3 more additional 6 footers. Women's Gilas wud be harder to beat next time.. 👊🇵🇭

[@ebongais1]

Yes tama Addtl Tall players talaga. Para makasabay sa mga high rank teams.

[@Raptorian100]

Proud of this group! Keep up the good work!

[@markglennmencias2810]

All over the world dapat mag recruit tayo ng mga filam or mag develop tayo sa mga pinay na Mas matatangkad Para nexttime makaka compete na talaga tayo..more power pa sa Gilas Women's 💪🙏

[@lpd2329]

We need some more good taller players para matapatan natin sila..! go go.! gilas women team kailangan tuloy tuloy lang ang pakikipag bardagulan sa mga top team sa buong mundo! malaking tulong yan sa confidence level nyo..! Kudos kay VANESSA DE JESUS grabe ang skills ng batang yan

[@eddieBoxer]

Philippines needs to hire international players make them temporary Filipino citizens like they do during the Olympics.

[@florianogoopio6303]

Today our Philippine women baskeball team is highly competetive internationaly we are proud our Philippine team

[@emmanuelguaren143]

team strategy in terms of defense and offense has to be developed... it has to be that creative that can be better that the other teams... it has to answer contingencies that will run at least one step a head to more... its really like creating better game plan... there is always something more or better... the game shows that its really possible...

[@hertzsaex578]

yes kahit kulang sa hyt lumaban parin ang gilas women..need to imprve lng ang dfense mdyo naiiwan tayo wen 8 cums to defnse..at saka tym na to explore on grassroots level yung may hyt at kung hindi baka need narin nang naturalize yung legit centr position tlga..

[@Kroenicbleu]

2 -3 more bigs.

[@Kroenicbleu]

@bernardmartin6996 they did well though, but then again they need all the help they could get atleast as a back up..

[@SerJedOfficial]

They lost but i'm still very proud of them. Women's Gilas just need additional 6 footers at least 3 who can help in their offense & defense inside. And for sure they will be a force to reckon with in Division A of FIBA Asia.

[@apolloarguilla9443]

Janine and Afril are the best small players of our women’s team! Vanessa de Jesus and Jack Animan are the other two greatest!

[@user-qg5oh3ct4h]

congratulations..nagiging competitive na ang gilas womens team..

[@user-zw4rk9lo8y]

Congratz coach pat aquino!sana ikaw na coach both gilas men and women.

[@jelahmedado6601]

Still proud and happy with the efforts of the whole team. Partida, minalas lang sa shots si Vanessa but the bench stepped up

[@TultulBalog]

Well improving. nice women gilas program. Same team with added one. Next Asia cup kayang talunin na yang NEW ZEALAND.

[@heyyyfaye]

Gilas women's team gave it their all in every game they fought. You made us all proud! 🇵🇭❤

[@eddieBoxer]

Philippines never wins, its a 3rd world against a 1st world country, lack of leadership and quality people.

[@edgarparagas6561]

Looking forward sa Jones Cup at lalo na sa Asian Games. Sana ma-recruit sila Chanelle Molina, Kayla Padilla, Mai-Loni Henson, Mei-lyn Bautista, Gabi Bade, Kristan Yumul, Gabriella Ramos, etc. Si Clare Castro sana makabalik din at subukan na din si Kaycee dela Rosa. Kulang sa height eh.

[@EfraimCabading-mv1zg]

Will continue to root this team with same line up and looking forward to be more competitive in future tournaments of FIBA

[@reneariate7071]

swerte lang talaga ngayong tournament ang team new zealand...ganun din nangyari nung laro nila laban south korea...

[@rodolfovilbar7896]

Gilas Filipina s women good job khit n ntalo pinakita n dugong Pilipino sayang nga lng kinapos Ng huli nabantayan tlaga s Vanessa proud p rin k ngstep yon iba kinapos lng God Bless

[@edwinfrancisco6653]

ENHANCE LNG UNG DEFFENSIVE JOB,99% NA UNG OUTSIDE SHOOTING NG GURLS,KULANG NA LNG NG BACK UP FOR REBOUNDS❤️

[@joffelman8565]

SUGGESTION, PLEASE ADD TWO TALL PLAYERS. CONGRATS GIRLS FOR THE LOVE OF COUNTRY!

[@apolloarguilla9443]

Maybe Vanessa de Jesus played decoy since everyone knows that she will be guarded vigorously and ferociously ! We almost have it successfully.

[@bonifacioigot2490]

Just like sa GILAS TEAM,THEY NEED HEIGHT TO HAVE GOOD RANKING IN FIBA WORLD... AND TO WIN MORE GAMES....

[@user-kn4lc6gq4p]

Tawag dyan breaks of the game, !! Lumaban naman !!! Sa totoo lang underdog talaga sila, !

[@ronssportsadventures5411]

Honestly walang sayang doon. Ganon talaga Ang laro. That was a very nice experienced for them. Hanga Ako sa lahat ng players ng mga guys natin. And ofcourse to coaching staff. Really proud of them all. If that one player of the opponent was been controlled a little bit our team might won. The no. 5 shirt she was their key to winning.

[@noelfabila2281]

Pag nakarecruit pa tayo ng 1o2 na matangkad para may katulong si Jack Laban Gilas Pilipinas

[@user-zw4rk9lo8y]

Congratz gilas women

[@domingosales1871]

Congrats gilas girls ang galing nyo sa susunod sana may makasama kayong malalaki para sa depensa good luck sa inyong journey make your country proud again

[@zelgemini24]

Proud pa din kami sa Gilas women basketball despite they fall shorts sa New Zealand sinamahan lang din sila ng swerte laban sa mga Gilas women natin. Anyway, congrats pa din sa ating Filipina cagers❤history in the making in women basketball.

[@user-zw4rk9lo8y]

Ok lang Basta lumalaban

[@jimmyiturriaga2277]

the PBA should help create a professional league for basketball women .. the team from China, Japan, Australia, and South Korea are all professional players, that is why they have apparently superior skills especially in 3-point shots .. the results of our games are obvious .. the AFP is encouraged to enlist more women basketball players so the players will have also their income while training for their basketball skills

[@simeonlacson5466]

Nag dala ng confident jan eh c vdj yun qng totoo

[@raphaeljohnchua3269]

You dont fall short when you dont win.

[@simeonlacson5466]

Real talk lng po kung wala si vdj walang ipapanalo

[@frederickm.cortez4316]

need more philam bigs to fill up the gaps also need a naturalized big center.

[@edwinpascua2653]

They did their best but their best wasn't good enough..

[@AUFERIMCHANNEL]

What happened to Vanessa De Jesus?

[@AUFERIMCHANNEL]

If only she made those crucial fastbreak shots and did not wait for the ball or turn away from the ball... we could have win against NZ.

[@agatth]

kamuntikan na akala ko talaga makakasilat tayo nadale lang sa crucial minutes

[@mariothegreat8941]

Sayang, na overwhelm agad dahil nakadikit. masaya na dahil lumaban mas masaya kung nanalo. Sana babae din coach , pagkakataon na ng babae na makapwesto sa sports.

[@joselitovilla6016]

Confidence sa shooting at Defense ang kailangan nilang pagtrabahuhan s practice. Pero Salamat sa Gilas! Good Job!

[@rogeliocabobos4487]

maka develop na ng malaking player hwag na pilitin kung maliit ksi sayang ang effort kahit na masipag ka pero maliit naman sayang malalaking mga player napunta pang lahat sa Volleyball

[@bbbbbb9547]

Congrats parin 🇵🇭

[@brtvlogschannel588]

Height is might

[@maximoincognito6549]

Pwedeng isama si Kristal Yumul at si Gabriela na may height, panganiban na mahusay din sa point guard.

[@kcidzag4133]

2more agile bigs then we have more chance

[@kaikaijulia6288]

Alam nyo may talent tlga ang mga pinoy pag dating sa basketball ..height lang tlga kulang

[@apolloarguilla9443]

Sana si coach Pat na rin mag coach sa Gilas men’s team!

[@ronaldopumarin268]

Short talaga maliliit talaga sobra sa guards ang team saan si claire Castro? Pamalit kay aninam height is might paano made developed si claire Castro to compete sa High level competition.

And I think it's a high time to look for a bigger size to add to this team and we can win this all I'm sure i. Future they will oops and think this women that they can fight

[@samihilao7975]

[@roperabay7171]

Expected not to win against NZ. NZ has the "more" attribute which Gilas lacks.

[@TheStrike101]

Now legit we are not southeast asian level anymore gilas women was on route to be asian and world powerhouse we need additional two 6 footers i think

[@zebuachristianfaith7762]

Pro league na lang kulang eh makakasabay na. May talento at charisma naman eh. Buhos na! 😁

[@christiangalope806]

Kinapos lng tlga dahil na rin sa matangkad ang kalaban N Z.Kailangan din tlga ng team Gilas womens natin ng matangkad pa na players ung lng ang kulang tlga.

[@rewellpunay]

Coach kukuha ka nman mga matangkad na player

[@arnelpena465]

But they fight and give the new Zealand a kick to new Zealand even the coach of new Zealand are in cold mode when gilas women give them a

[@optimega]

They need to bring back Clare Castro at least she's 6'4,they also need a NP that's at least 6'5,so that the 6'2 JA can play the PF position instead,there's at least another 6'0 standout player in the women's UAAP and maybe a couple of Fil heritage players taller than 6'0 and they will be set.
