Asian Games Performance
editIt was a dismal harvest compared to four years ago. Billiards and Snooker players Romeo Villanueva and Gandy Valle captured the 9-ball doubles title to give the Philippines its first taste of gold. The country's first silver was earned by reigning world cudgel champion and Jakarta SEA games double gold medalist Mark Robert Rosales in the 3-event changquan. Rolly Chulhang settled for a silver in the men's 52-kg and below finals in sanshou for Wushu's second silver medal.
The Philippine Centennial team defeated Kazakhstan, 73-68, to salvage the bronze medal in basketball.
