The Philippine contingent to the 2018 Asian Games fell way short of lofty expectations. Although the 19th place finish of the country was an improvement from the 22nd finish from the 2014 games, they still fell short of the predictions of grabbing at least the 15th over-all spot.
The RP team collected only 4 golds and all of which came from our lady athletes. In fact 2 of which came from Golf while the other two came from Skateboarder Margielyn Didal and Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz. Over-all, the country collected 21 medals at the quadrennial event. Matching with its SEA Games contemporaries, Philippines remain lagging behind and placed 6th in the region - the same spot they have in the 2017 SEA Games.
