POC Athletes' Commission

Honoring the achievements and resilience of women in sports this International Women’s Month!

Inna Palacios, Vice Chair of the POC Athletes’ Commission, alongside Olympian and AC Representative Nesthy Petecio and fellow athletes and para-athletes, shines at the 3rd All-Women Sports Awards.

Recognizing 38 awards given to outstanding athletes and para-athletes who redefined “HERstory” in 2025, this PSC event celebrates excellence in Philippine sports.

Held last March 20, 2026 at the PICC in Pasay City.

We may not have claimed the fifth spot just yet, but the Philippines is knocking on the door—sitting just one gold medal away from moving up the ranks.

The Philippines remains in 6th place in the overall standings with a haul of 17 gold, 30 silver, and 68 bronze medals.

There was a moment of celebration earlier when the Practical Shooting team swept 4 golds at the Eastern National Sports Training Center in Chonburi.

However, despite initially appearing on the SEA Games official website, these wins are not included in the official medal tally as the Thailand Sea Games Organizing Committee made an error with the results, thinking the events today in Practical Shooting are final.

This was also reaffirmed by the Philippine Practical Shooting Association to the POC management.

Regardless of the technicalities, our Filipino athletes continue to fight with heart especially that other combat sports, where we excel are coming.

After witnessing their sacrifices and dedication over the past four days, let us not waver in our support.

They represent our country with pride and bring much-needed positivity to the nation.

The challenge continues!

𝙂𝒂𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝒂𝙮 𝙞𝙡𝒂𝙗𝒂𝙨, 𝙜𝒂𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝒂𝙨! 🇵🇭

Down but never out.

We have slid to 6th place, but the fight is far from over.

The margins are razor-thin: we are just 1 gold away from 5th place and 4 golds away from the number 4 spot.

Our athletes continue to fight amidst adversity.

Let's not waver in our commitment to rally behind our athletes as they work to turn this campaign around.

𝙈𝒂𝙩𝙞𝙗𝒂𝙮 𝒂𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙙𝙞𝙗 𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙜𝒂 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙤. 𝙄𝙨𝒂𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙜𝙤 𝙥𝒂 𝒂𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝒂𝙗𝒂𝙣.

𝙈𝙪𝙡𝙞, 𝒂𝙣𝙜 𝒂𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝒂𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝒂 𝒂𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙜𝒂 𝒂𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙩𝒂: 𝙂𝒂𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝒂𝙮 𝙞𝙡𝒂𝙗𝒂𝙨, 𝙜𝒂𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝒂𝙨! 🇵🇭

With patience and the steadfast determination of our athletes, we’re on our way to the top.

Now at the same spot where we finished at the last SEA Games, the Philippines has climbed back to fifth place.

There are still nine days left—our journey isn’t over yet.

Let’s strive for even more gold medals, Team Philippines!

Stay hungry.

Galing ay ilabas, galing ng Pilipinas! 🇵🇭

Day 1 of the 33rd SEA Games is in the books! 🇵🇭 Out of the 40 gold medals up for grabs today, Team Philippines secured 2.
