Philippines has lost to South Korea since 1986, the most memorable was in the 2002 Asian Games, where Olsen Racela missed two crucial free throws at the end of the game to pave way for a winning three-pointer by the Koreans and just 2 years ago against Smart Gilas in the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship Battle for third place and we lost a chance for a spot in the 2012 FIBA Olympic Qualifiers.
