MANILA, Philippines — Senator Manuel “Lito” Lapid has filed a resolution urging the Senate to congratulate and commend the Philippine delegation’s performance at the Skate Asia 2022 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Based on the resolution, the Philippines garnered a total of 45 awards in the competition – 28 gold, 13 silver, and four bronze medals.
“The exemplary performance of the entire Philippine delegation deserves the highest praise, recognition, and commendation for bringing pride and inspiration to the Filipino people and for showing to the world the unrelenting spirit of Filipino sports excellence,” Lapid said in his resolution.
