The Gilas Pilipinas training pool immediately went to work after a nearly 22-hour travel from Manila to Estonia on Friday.
The pool, which will go through a three-week European training camp, travelled from Manila to the capital city of Tallinn - with stopover in Istanbul - via Turkish Airlines.
The camp is part of their intensive preparations for the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
They did a light workout at the Nord Spordiklubi Complex just before dinner on Friday.
Strength and conditioning coach Dexter Aseron led the evening workout which coach Chot Reyes.
The 12-man team pool led by June Mar Fajardo will take on the national teams of Estonia and Finland, along with Lithuania's 21-and-under team in a pocket tourney.
