    Gilas Women had no answer to the firepower of Vietnam led by the Truong twin sisters Kayleigh and Kaylynne Truong, who nailed their shots from downtown.

    Jack Animam, Afril Bernardino, Janine Pontejos, and Mikka Cacho lost again to Vietnam after their 21-19 defeat during the preliminaries.

    Women’s coach Pat Aquino remained proud of the effort of the girls after starting in Group A where they also had to hurdle defending champion Thailand.

    “We started in the group of death and probably it’s not our time yet. But I’m happy with the podium finish but we are also sorry for not winning the gold. We will try to re-strategize,” said Aquino.
