The journey for Women's Gilas Pilipinas in the FIBA Women's Asia Cup 2023 got off to a bitter start as they faced a dominant Australian team.

The Australian national team completely overwhelmed the Philippine representatives in their opening game of the tournament, securing a resounding 105-34 victory.

The first and third quarters turned into a nightmare for Women's Gilas, as they struggled to generate points, managing only single-digit scores of 7 and 5, respectively.

However, in the second quarter of the match, debutant guard Vanessa De Jesus stepped up for Gilas and led the team's offensive charge.
