According to the statement, their service from experienced a flat tire.
“Our team left our bootcamp in Angeles City, Pampanga with the normal 4 hours allowance time from our match schedule,” it said. “On the way, the trip was delayed by a flat tire and it took around one hour before help came.”
But that wasn’t the only unfortunate circumstance that took place as the team soon became overwhelmed by unexpectedly heavy traffic.

Normally, the team would arrive in time with their usual setup, but the current traffic situation was something that was never in their favor.
“Our team usually arrives at the venue every game approximately two hours before our matches. As much as we would like to comply with the rule and guidelines of the league in terms of schedule, the unfavorable circumstances earlier were beyond our control.”
