The RP men’s squad composed of veterans Oscar Briones and Christian Cubilla and new recruits Marvin Cordero and Bryan Carlo Figueroa, clobbered host Hong Kong-China A, 154-147, in the bronze medal match.
Earlier, the Philippines dumped Thailand, 227-213, in the quarterfinals before bowing to Japan, 225-239, in the semifinals.
The third place finish of the RP men’s team somehow made up for its disappointing losses in their respective matches in the individual 70-meter event.
