The Philippines is in a tough conclave with Georgia, Latvia, Brazil, Cameroon and Montenegro in the blitz competition where only one Olympic slot is up for grabs. In the prelims, the Philippines will play host Latvia on July 3 and Georgia on July 4. If Gilas finishes first or second, it advances to face the top two finishers from the other group in the knockout semis. Then, the winners slug it out for passage to Paris.
