The Filipinas, spearheaded by Jia de Guzman, Bella Belen, Angel Canino, Alyssa Solomon, Eya Laure, Thea Gagate, Vanie Gander and Fifi Sharma, will battle the Thais at 6 pm (Philippine time) with hopes of, at best, pulling off a shocker and, at worst, giving the perennial SEA Games gold winner a decent fight.

Nationals clashed with Vietnamese next Saturday, and then ended the opening campaign with Indonesians on Sunday.
It was a short and sweet game, and as the nationwide one-round Robin format would be the best record.
From Thailand, Alas to Ninh Binh, Thailand fought against Vietnam on August 8, August 9, and Indonesia on August 10.
The country hopes to continue to improve as it was the first medal at the Maritime Games in Thailand this December, as it happened to be two decades ago when the country hosted a biennial gathering in Bacolod. – Joey Villar
