00:00Filipino para-swimmer Ernie Gawilan made a promise that he will continue to flag the country in para-international competitions
00:08following his campaign in the Paris Paralympics.
00:11This is what Daryl Oclaris has to say.
00:15In his third Paralympic Games race,
00:18the Filipino para-swimmer Ernie Gawilan still failed to win a medal.
00:23It should be noted that Gawilan first participated in the Men's 200 Meter Individual Medley SM7 on Saturday,
00:30where he was not allowed to enter the medal round after getting 6th place in Heat 2.
00:37The 33-year-old para-tanker showed a better performance in the Men's 400 Meter Freestyle S7 on Monday.
00:45After two Heats, Gawilan won the third overall place,
00:50but Gawilan posted again in the finals and got 6th place.
00:55Although he did not expect this result,
00:58Gawilan was still happy that he flagged the country again in Para-Games.
01:15As the announcer said, Philippines, Philippines.
01:18I am happy that the first Heat was like that,
01:22I mean the second Heat, because the Philippines was highlighted in those Games.
01:28According to Gawilan, his target is to win two more prestigious sports events in 2025.
01:35I hope so, sir, because the qualifying standard is not too heavy.
01:41Unlike the Paralympics, it's really hard.
01:45So I hope we can still get it.
01:47And I hope our physical condition is still good,
01:52because that's the most important thing,
01:56so that the outcome of the Games will be good.
