Mr. President, it is my honor and privilege to co-sponsor the adoption of the resolution congratulating and commending the Philippine delegates to the 2018 Asian Games held at Jakarta and Palembang in Indonesia from 18 August to 2 September 2018, for bringing honor to the country by reaping medals in various sports and showcasing Philippine excellence before an international audience. Our Asian Games athletes had a truly remarkable showing, proving that sheer skill and dedication can bring us to international renown. I congratulate: GOLD 1. Hidilyn Diaz - Women's 53-kg Weightlifting
SILVER 1. RogenLadon - Men's Flyweight (52kg) Boxing

Our athletes' successes at the Asian Games should serve as a call for us to enhance our training and scholarship programs for Filipino athletes even more. With stronger support not just from the government but from the entire nation, I am certain that our athletes can excel even further and raise our nation's name to even greater heights. Congratulations again to all our winners! Mabuhay kayo! |
