(UPDATE) WITH at least four tune-up matches already in Gilas Pilipinas' belt, wingman Dwight Ramos feels the national team is getting the training it needs as part of its build up for the 2023 FIBA World Cup this August.

The Philippine team dropped its first two matches against Estonia and Finland in Tallinn last week. But a day after its first practice since arriving in Kaunas, Lithuania, Gilas finally registered back-to-back wins, courtesy of its 70-61 triumph over Ukraine's under-20 team on Saturday, before repeating, 84-74 in their rematch 24 hours days after.
