FIBA officials ruled out the possibility of a wildcard berth being given to the Philippines for the coming world joust although they stressed they would love to see Filipino cagers regaining their place  on the international stage.

"This is still part of our program for the national team. We’re still doing our job so that in case the Philippines’ suspension (by the FIBA) is lifted, we’ll be ready," said Reyes.
