Malaysia outclassed Cambodia, 17-8, for the bronze medal. The Filipino Warriors lost their first meeting to the Thais (18-6) but scored victories over Indonesia (11-5), Cambodia (14-5) and Malaysia (8-7) in the eliminations to arrange a title showdown with unbeaten Thailand. “We started slow. We just started hitting the mark at the half, unfortunately it was too late," said PH team coach Vernon Perea. The men's squad duplicated its 2022 performance, the same as the women's team, which finished fourth. The Lady Warriors suffered an 8-5 setback from Laos in the battle for third place. Cambodia retained the title after beating Thailand, 11-9. In chess, Sander Severino, the most bemedalled Filipino with a quadruple gold haul in Indonesia last year, led the country’s strong start as he paced the rapid event of the men’s PI division along with two others including Jasper Rom with perfect two points at the Royal University. Darry Bernardo and Menandro Redor, likewise, shared the lead in the men’s B2B3 class as well as Cheyzer Mendoza in the women’s PI section. The final four rounds of the rapid event are slated Sunday. The standard event is scheduled from Monday to Wednesday while blitz is on Thursday. The James Infiesto-mentored squad is out to surpass, if not match, its 10-gold harvest in Indonesia. Meanwhile, three veterans and two rookies will see action on Sunday in the first day of the powerlifting competition at the National Paralympic Committee of Cambodia (NPCC) Hall. Achelle Guion (women's up to 45kg), Marydol Pamati-an (up to 41kg) and Romeo Tayawa (men's up to 54kg) are seeking to improve their medal performances at the 2022 edition while Rose Ann Lita (women's up to 50kg) and Jules Empizo (men's up to 49kg) are hoping to make a good impressive as newcomers. Guion, who competed at the 2012 London Paralympics, delivered two silver medals while Pamati-an and Tayawa bagged two bronze medals each in the 2022 edition hosted by Indonesia. The national para powerlifting team's coaching staff is composed of Rico Canlas (head), Allan Paje and Daisy Lipasana.
