Some PBA executives shared their disagreement with the decision made by Strong Group Athletics during their campaign at the 34th Dubai International Basketball Championship , where the Philippine representative withdrew from the third place game due to officiating issues. PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said if it were up to him, he would have wanted for SGA to still compete in the battle for bronze as they were representing the Philippines in the tournament.
"At pangalawa, kahit hindi bansa natin, kahit ligang barangay sana naglaro tayo. ‘Yun po ay sa akin lang."PBA vice chairman and Barangay Ginebra team governor Alfrancis Chua echoed Marcial's sentiment, stressing that as the country's representative — together with fellow PH team Zamboanga Valientes — they should have endured what they felt was unfair treatment as it would reflect on the country in general.
