MANILA -- Two Philippine teams made it to the semifinals of the Jumpshot 3x3 Season 2 over the weekend in Singapore.

The Gilas Pilipinas Women 3x3 and Uratex Dream gave their opponents a run for their money but failed to progress to the championship game.

The Gilas Women proved to be a handful for the opposition before bowing to eventual champion Chuu of Thailand, 15-13.

Kaye Pingol reunited with the Nationals as the country's no. 1-ranked women's 3x3 player conspired with Camille Clarin, Jhaz Joson, and Mikka Cacho as they topped Pool C with a perfect 3-0 card before disposing of NTSC 1, 16-14, in the quarterfinals.

Uratex, on the other hand, came up short against fancied Panthers 3x3 of Spain, 21-14, in their own semis matchup.

Led by holdovers Sam Harada and Li Renzhu, the Dream also paraded Hazelle Yam and Japanese guard Wakana Yagami as they finished second place in Pool B with their 2-1 record before taking down Shoot It Dragons, 21-16, in the quarters.

Despite falling short of the finals, it was still a strong follow up for the Philippine teams after their showing in the Manila Hustle 3x3 Season 3 last week.

Uratex Tibay, composed of CC Junsay, Marian Domingo, Lourdes Ordoveza, and Ford Grajales, could not advance through the group stages after only logging a 1-2 card in Pool A.

Chuu, spearheaded by Thai stars Bo Supavadee and Junny Udomsuk, claimed the women's crown and the USD3,000 cash prize after besting Panthers 3x3 of Ari Geli and Paris Olympian Kacie Bosch.

Over in the men's side, Uncle Drew Pilipinas settled for runner-up honors against Jumpshot Singapore after absorbing a 20-15 defeat in the finale.

The squad, made up of TH Tumalip, Shaq Alanes, and imports Joshua Keyes and Jose Blazquez, earned the top seed in Pool A before nosing out NTSC 2, 21-19 in the quarterfinals and clipping Chinese Taipei, 21-17, in the semifinals.
