The Philippines has been competing in the Asian Games since 1951 and even hosted the second edition in 1954.

This year in Aichi-Nagoya, the Philippines hopes to surpass the four-gold-medal haul it recorded in 2023 in Hangzhou.

How did the Philippines fare in the last five editions of the Asian Games?

The Philippines won four golds, six silvers, and nine bronzes in the 2006 Asian Games, with boxers Violito Payla and Joan Tipon headlining the country’s gold medalists. Antonio Gabica of cue sports and Rene Catalan of wushu also won gold medals for the Philippines.

In 2010, bowler Engelberto Rivera, boxer Rey Saludar, and cue sports’ Dennis Orcollo won gold medals for the Philippines, which finished the Games with three golds, four silvers, and nine bronzes.

The Philippines bagged a total of 15 medals in the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, with BMX racer Daniel Caluag winning the country’s lone gold medal.

In 2018, the Philippines had a star-studded haul at the Asian Games, with weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, golfer Yuka Saso and her teammates Bianca Pagdanganan and Lois Kaye Go, and skateboarder Margielyn Didal winning gold medals.

The Philippines finished with 21 medals, including four golds, two silvers, and 15 bronzes.

Delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 Asian Games were held in 2023. Gilas Pilipinas won the men’s basketball gold medal for the first time in more than 60 years, while pole vaulter EJ Obiena claimed his first Asian Games gold. Jiu-jitsu athletes Meggie Ochoa and Annie Ramirez also won gold medals for the Philippines.

The country added two silver medals and 12 bronze medals.
