Philippines is currently ranked 5th in the SEA Games Thailand medal tally. No other way but up! Let’s keep cheering for our athletes from wherever we are.

Here’s a throwback photo from December 5, 2005, when we first clinched the overall championship, as published in the media. And we couldn’t help but notice a familiar face — none other than our President, Geraldine Bernardo, proudly showing her medal haul.
