Filipina fencer Justine Gail Tinio had very little expectations in her Southeast Asian Games debut here.

But at the end of a long and tiring day, Tinio surprised everyone, including herself, in giving the country its first medal – a silver – in the women’s individual foil event of the 28th SEA Games at the OCBC Arena on Wednesday, June 3.
