The Gilas Pilipinas national team will play two tune-up matches as it winds up training for the 27th FIBA-Asia Men's Basketball Championship on August 1.        The nationals will play a PBA selection led by Calvin Abueva, Cyrus Baguio, Alex Cabagnot and Jay Washington at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City and the Kazakhstan team at 7 p.m. on Friday at the Araneta Coliseum.

The game against Kazakhstan will prove to be interesting, since Gilas Pilipinas could face the team from central Asia in the knockout quarterfinal round of the Asian world qualifier.
