The Philippine Olympic Committee remains confident of the country's gold medal outlook at the upcoming Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia, despite host-imposed competition limits for visiting countries.
The Philippine Olympic Committee expressed concern on Tuesday, January 10, over the possibility of not placing on top of the 32nd Southeast Asian Games medal tally.
“I have a gut feeling we will not finish first based on the formula of Cambodia, but we are projected whether second, third, or fourth,” he continued. Nevertheless, Tolentino added that the POC is ready for a windfall of medal winnings for 2023, a year seen to be one of the busiest in Philippine sports history.
The usual suspects like Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz, pole vaulter EJ Obiena, gymnast Carlos Yulo, and talented members of the boxing and weightlifting contingents are expected to participate. Bachmann, also on Tuesday, assured that there will be no delays in financial stipends to national athletes.
On the other hand, on the books as well for this year is the ratification of the new POC constitution, which was amended shortly after Tolentino’s election in November 2020.
