In a recent courtesy call to the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and its president Al Panlilio, the federation rewarded the Gilas Women program with cash incentives.

Under the auspices of head coach Patrick Aquino, the senior ladies bucked the absence of Jack Animam due to injury to successfully defend their gold at the Southeast Asian Games with a 4-1 record.

In addition, the program finished 14th in the division of the 2022 edition of the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup, as well as a third place finish in the 2022 edition of the FIBA U16 Women's Asian Championship Division B.

Panlilio shares, "We at the SBP are very proud of the achievements of our Gilas Pilipinas Women. It’s one of our pillars and we’re very happy with the direction under Program Director Patrick Aquino." He adds, "The SBP is doing its very best to provide Gilas Pilipinas Women to be at their best and we laud the hard work of the coaching staff, who do a tremendous job of scouting for the best talents and helping all our players achieve their full potential."
