Never mind the losses we won the praises

GILAS. At least three knowledgeable basketball coaches have made almost the same statements about the Gilas Pilipinas participation in the FIBA  World Cup 2014: "We have shown the world we're no basketball weaklings."

BRAGGART. "The teams who beat us, rated high in world basketball, will now have the highest respect for Pilipinas," they said. "Mura'g hinambog ning pagkasultiha, nahimo tang braggart ani, pero saon tinuod man," said a cage fan listening to the three coaches.
