Jaime Manginga started the medal haul by bagging the bronze medal in the Singles Men TPB 8 category, averaging a score of 161.3 through six games. He finished behind gold medal winner Park Tae Gwang of Korea (167.0) and silver medal winner Supparat Ponmingmad of Thailand (163.0).

Roger Tapia would follow Manginga’s lead, taking the silver medal in the Singles Men TPB 9 category. Tapia averaged 188.5 in six games. He finished behind gold medalist Chow Pui Kuin of Hong Kong who averaged 190.3 in the same number of games.

The Philippines got another bronze medal courtesy of the tandem of Ruben San Diego and Noel Español in the B2 Doubles.

Capping off their stint, Kim Ian Chi handed the Philippines a gold medal in the All-Event Men TPB 10. This was after Kim racked up 1,105 points in the singles, 1,087 in the doubles, and 612 in the trios for a total score of 2,804.

Aside from Manginga, Tapia, San Diego, Español, and Kim, other members of the Philippine delegation included Samuel Matias, Patrick Eusebio, Christopher Yue, Ramelle Martin, and Angelito Guloya as well as coaches Benshir Layoso and George Manozo.

“Although counterpart countries are powerhouses, we Filipinos did not give up. ‘Dugo ng palaban, ika nga,” Manozo said after their Cambodia stint.

Aside from the Philippines, other countries that participated in the first-ever event include host country Cambodia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Korea, Kazakhstan, and China.

“Thanks to the support of the PSC (Philippine Sports Commission) and PHILSPADA (Philippine Sports Association of the Differently Abled). ‘Di tayo padadaig!” Manozo ended.
