Team Philippines made a powerful statement at the opening ceremonies of the SEA Games Thailand 2025 last night December 9, 2025, marching onto the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok with a clear intent for domination. 

The impressive 1,600-strong delegation was led by the dynamic duo of tennis star Alex Eala and volleyball standout Bryan Bagunas. 

With fire in their spirit and their country's flag lifted high, the athletes declared their fierce pursuit for a major breakthrough. This showing of national pride and surging energy sets the stage for what the Philippines hopes will be a historic and successful campaign in the biennial meet.

As the competition officially begins, the athletes carry the hopes of the nation, focused on translating this strong show of unity and pride into medals and achieving the country's collective aspiration for regional sporting supremacy.
