Perez winning the bronze, whether it’s bitter or sweet, was still welcome news for Team Philippines, determined to do better this time than the four gold, two silver and 15 bronze medals it won in the 2018 Asiad in Indonesia. There was excitement in the Hangzhou air following the arrival of the men’s basketball team called Gilas. The entire country will watch as they shoot for the gold or the silver or the bronze.

Then pro fighter and Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Eumir Marcial, still adjusting to his new weight class of 80kg, flexed just enough muscles to whip Mongolia’s Dalai Ganzorig, 5-0.
