00:00Filipino athletes continue to shine, leading to the final days of the 2025 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand.
00:07Young triathlon star Kira Ellis wraps up her SEA Games campaign with two golds and three silvers.
00:12This as she gets another medal in the women's individual triathlon, despite suffering from food poisoning two days before the race.
00:19I'm happy, I know I did five events, and I couldn't be more proud of the team and myself.
00:25In Short Track's speed skating, Peter Grossclose tops the men's 500-meter category to secure another gold for the Philippines.
00:32Meanwhile, tennis sensation Alex Ayala says her recent gold in the women's singles category was something she never expected at the start of the year.
00:40I think this is just a whole other category. I think, you know, playing with the country written on your back is, you know, and these sort of team events just bring a different kind of pressure.
00:51So I'm so happy with how I handled it and my first four months every day of mine.
00:56As of 5.20 p.m. Thursday, December 19, the Philippines ranks sixth overall with 43 golds, 63 silvers, and 139 bronzes.
