MANILA, Philippines — IT'S 18 and still counting for the Philippines' 100th year participation in the Olympics with swimmers Kayla Sanchez and Harold Hatch and judoka Kiyomi Watanade making the grade for Paris . And the roster could increase to 20 pending the International Golf Federation's official announcement of the Paris qualifiers which, to date, has Bianca Pagdanganan at No. 35 and Dottie Ardina at No. 55 in the top 60 cut off for the Olympics.
Watanabe, on the other hand, will be in her second consecutive Olympics after making through the continental qualification route in women's -63 kgs. At 20 athletes, the Philippines already surpassed Tokyo 2020 where Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo won the country's first Olympic gold medal. 'But we're expecting more,' said Tolentino as he awaits an official announcement from World Athletics on who will join world No. 2 men's pole vaulter Ernest John 'EJ' Obiena in Paris.
