The three-time SEAG champion Mangrobang settled for the silver medal behind Margot Garabedian after clocking 1 hour, 7 minutes and 24 seconds in the 750 meter swim, 20km bike, 5km run race.
Garabedian, ranked No. 190 in world triathlon and a seventh place at the World Junior Championships in 2014, captured the gold medal in 1:05:34.2.
Still fresh from defending her duathlon title Sunday, May 7, Mangrobang trailed Garabedian in the swim leg by more than a minute and was running fifth in the bike leg.
She gave the best she could in the run leg by clocking the fastest time of 20:04 minutes, but checked in two minutes behind Garabedian.
Singapore’s Louisa Marie Middleditch bagged the bronze in 1:07:30.1, while PH bet Raven Alcoseba wound up fourth in 1:08:49.1
