It didn't help that the venue, the Mall of Asia Arena, was half empty. President Marcos and the First Lady were with the 9,000-plus in attendance who witnessed firsthand how the Philippine team struggled heavily against the African giants, against the backdrop of vacant seats largely blamed on exorbitant ticket prices that were unreachable for ordinary fans.
