The Philippines already entered the second round of the competition despite being beaten by Palestine on their first game. Their entry to the second round is really dramatic especially during their rout against Kuwait on Friday night.

Gilas Pilipinas defeated Kuwait with the final score of 110-64 but before the final buzzer sounds one of Kuwait’s player went down on the floor after being attacked by Ranidel de Ocampo who just responded with Kuwait’s dirty basketball game.

With just 48 seconds in the fourth quarter, Gilas mainstay Ranidel de Ocampo was simply hit by Kuwaiti player Aldulaziz Alhamadi on his groin but the referee did not see the incident and failed to call a foul. Ranidel de Ocampo then responded with a simple elbow that wasn’t caught by the referee which started a near melee but cooler heads prevailed later.
