According to GMA News reports on why Ranidel De Ocampo bloodied the lip of ejected Kuwaiti player – “Start pa lang ng game ‘yung number 12 masyado nang nananakit,” De Ocampo told reporters after the game when asked about the incident. “Sinampal niya si Dondon (Hontiveros), binigwasan niya si Jayson (Castro), binalibag niya si Calvin (Abueva), dalawang beses niyang natatamaan si Terrence (Romeo).

“Kahit anong mangyari, s’yempre kailangan protektahan ko ‘yung mga teammate ko,” he added.

Hontiveros already exchanged a few words with Alhamidi in the first quarter, but things started to escalate at the end of the third period and reached its breaking point in the last minute of the game.

De Ocampo said the Kuwaiti punched him in the genitals, so he decided to get back for his teammates and for himself.
