The BT Toews era as head coach of Gilas Pilipinas Women did not get off to the dream start.
The Philippines suffered a 61-58 collapse against host Mexico in the FIBA Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournament for the 2028 Olympics on Tuesday morning (Manila time) at Arena Astros in Guadalajara.
Gilas Women led by as many as 15 points but faltered late in the game, allowing Mexico to complete the comeback.
With the defeat, Gilas Women’s hopes of advancing to the second round will now hinge on their matchup against Canada on Thursday.
Canada defeated Senegal, 72-57, earlier in the day.
