The home set is the final two games of Gilas in the World Cup qualifiers, where the team hopes to make it to the tournament proper in 2027 in Qatar.
Before the February window, Gilas Pilipinas will play in Seremban, Malaysia where it will go up against Syria on November 27 and Iran on November 29.
The Nationals will enter that November window with a 4-4 win-loss record, needing more wins to stay in contention for a spot in the World Cup.
