"Our boxers are always a source of gold medals in the Philippines' SEA Games campaigns," Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman William Ramirez said.
"We are banking on our pugilists once again to help lift our bid in the 30th edition of the Games. The PSC has always been supportive not only of our boxers but the rest of the national athletes. The agency did its best to provide them support for these Games and the next competitions they are scheduled to take part in." Ramirez said.
The Philippines won 2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals as a runner-up to Thailand (2-3-1) during the 2017 Kuala Lumpur SEA Games.
