The Philippine clubs will get an early workout in the women's division of the Jumpshot 3x3 International Tournament at Bukit Panjang Plaza this weekend.

Kaye Pingol spearheads the Dream side as she links up with Sam Harada, Mikka Cacho, and Eunique Chan.

Tibay, on the other hand, will lean on Shanda Anies, Ma. Cecilia Junsay, April Siat, and Ford Grajales.

It's a test of character for the Uratex clubs before they compete in the Manila Hustle 3x3 Season 2 in February.

Tibay will play BAS Women A and J3 of Singapore, Dinoman Hansol of Korea, and Yokohama Gflow of Japan in Pool A; while Dream has been drawn in Pool B together with BAS Women B and Regina of Singapore, CT Tigers of Thailand, and Malaysia Rising Star.

But it's not just them with Filipino imports spicing the field with Allana Lim joining J3 and Julia Mae Barroquillo enlisted by Regina.

Only the top two teams will advance to the semifinals for a chance to win the USD4,000 cash prize.

Meanwhile, TNT Triple Giga, composed of Samboy de Leon, Matt Salem, Rey Telen, and Xyrus Torres; and Kabayan Pilipinas, made up of David Carlos, Kirt Joshua Jungoy, Eldridge Ocana, and Myanmar's Thiha Htin, will fly the country's flag in the men's side.
