But even after completing what some consider as an unlikely victory over Barangay Ginebra, Castro feels that the Tropang Giga had a slim chance of turning the tide had the Gin Kings taken the series into a deciding seventh game. 'Our thinking was [Game 6] was already do-or-die for us,' Castro said in Filipino. 'Because we felt that if Ginebra won, there's a strong chance that we won't be able to win in Game 7 because the momentum will be on their side.

The results of the government's audit of the flood disaster in the underpass in Osong, North Chungcheong can be summarized in that sentence. The provincial government's management and surveillance on the stream bank was utterly laid-back and their response to alarms from local residents was lethargic even before an imminent tragedy.
