Fortunately, this elevator hiccup didn’t happen close to Gilas Pilipinas' match against Qatar in the Doha International Cup.
Imagine being stuck in an elevator with Dwight Ramos, and err, some members of Gilas Pilipinas.
Well, that’s exactly what happened to the national team, as shared by Calvin Oftana via social media on Friday, February 14.
Oftana was with June Mar Fajardo, AJ Edu, Dwight Ramos, Mason Amos, Cjay Perez, and Kevin Quiambao on the way down the hotel in Doha when the elevator malfunctioned.
While they were seen sharing laughter in the said video, anxiety was palpable in what appeared like a claustrophobic’s worst nightmare.
Fortunately, the hotel’s utility personnel promptly responded and aided them out of their ordeal.
“We survived!” someone interjected in the said video.
LOOK:
Gilas is currently in Qatar to lock horns with the host team, Lebanon, and Egypt in the Doha International Cup from February 15 to 17.
The national team will take on Qatar at 1:30 a.m. (Philippine time) on February 15 in the tournament seen as a gauge for the FIBA Asia Cup in Saudi Arabia this August.
