PAZ-COJUANGCO ENDS 12-YEAR ASIAN GAMES ARCHERY MEDAL DROUGHT 🏹🥈

Amaya Paz-Cojuangco delivers a historic silver medal for the Philippines at the 2026 Asian Games, ending the country’s 12-year medal drought in archery.

The veteran Filipina archer defeated Iran’s Bita Asheghzadeh Oskouei in the quarterfinals before edging South Korea’s Park Jungyoon, 142-141, to become the first Filipino archer to reach an Asian Games gold medal match. She eventually fell to Indonesia’s Nurisa Dian Ashrifah, 139-137, in the final.

Her breakthrough comes less than a year after the Philippine Sports Commission and World Archery Philippines brought in South Korean Olympic coaches Ryu Su Jeng and Hong Sung Chil to strengthen the national program.

GOLD FOR THE FAREWELL? 🥊🇵🇭

Carlo Paalam is one victory away from completing what could be his final Asian Games campaign with the medal missing from his collection.

The Tokyo Olympic silver medalist battles hometown bet Rui Yamaguchi in Friday’s men’s 55kg final, with a chance to also end the Philippines’ 16-year wait for an Asian Games boxing gold.

Paalam already improved on his 2018 Asiad bronze by reaching the final. Now, only one fight stands between him and a golden finish in Aichi-Nagoya.

TWO WTA STOPS SET FOR PH IN 2027 🎾🇵🇭

Filipino tennis fans will get a double dose of world-class action in 2027 as the Philippines prepares to host two WTA tournaments — a WTA 125 event in January and a higher-tier WTA 250 tournament in late October or early November.

PHILTA says the two events will give local players more opportunities to compete against international opposition on home soil, while bringing top-level women’s tennis closer to Filipino fans.

More details on the venues and final schedules will be announced later.
