Gilas Women recapture SEA Games crown in tight win vs Thais

2025/12/19 21:11

CHONBURI, Thailand – Gilas Pilipinas Women reclaimed the Southeast Asian Games crown after a hard-fought 73-70 win over host Thailand in the women’s 5-on-5 basketball final at the Nimibutr Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, December 19.

Their three-peat bid denied after they settled for silver in the 2023 Cambodia edition, Gilas Women got the job done this time without dropping a game.

“I can’t say anything about the girls. I’m so proud of them. They gave it all,” said Philippines head coach Patrick Aquino.

Afril Bernardino and Kacey dela Rosa keyed the Filipinas’ coronation as they both delivered double-doubles when it mattered the most.

Bernardino put up 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 steals, while Dela Rosa produced 17 points and 16 rebounds in the win that gave the Philippines its third women’s 5-on-5 basketball title in the SEA Games following victories in 2019 and 2021.

Sophia Dignadice chimed in 10 points and 3 steals, while Khate Castillo and Janine Pontejos added 9 and 8 points, respectively.

Aquino said beating the hosts on their home turf made the victory more special.

Down by as many as 12 points, the Thais fought back and kept within striking distance until the final seconds, but the Filipinas held their nerve to get the gold.

“The girls worked hard for this. It was a tough game,” Aquino said.

Gilas Women ended the tournament with a 4-0 record, including a resounding 66-55 revenge win over 2023 champion Indonesia in the semifinals. – Rappler.com

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
