That was how Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Bambol Tolentino described the Team Philippine performance in the recently-concluded 32nd Southeast Asian Games in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. "In total, it was really a strong performance for Team Philippines, especially reclaiming the gold of basketball. Other than strong, 'levelled up' is indeed one of the best adjectives to describe Team Philippines' medal haul in Phnom Penh. On top of that, Team Philippines claimed 85 silvers and 117 bronzes for a total of 260 medals and finished fifth in the Games.
