Latest verified update: September 20, 2026
| Medal | Count |
|---|---|
| 🥇 Gold | 0 |
| 🥈 Silver | 0 |
| 🥉 Bronze | 1 |

Philippines Medal Winners at the Asian Games 2026
Here is the medal tracker so far:
| Medal | Athlete / Team | Sport | Event | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🥉 Bronze | Philippine Women’s Soft Tennis Team | Soft Tennis | Women’s Team | September 20 |
And that first bronze was quite a milestone.
Women’s Soft Tennis Delivers the Philippines’ First Medal
The Philippine women’s soft tennis team officially finished with bronze after facing host Japan in the semifinals at the Higashiyama Park Tennis Center.
Japan won the semifinal tie, 2-0.
Princess Catindig and Noelle Mañalac played in the doubles match, while Christy Sanosa competed in singles. Shyryn Salazar and Hilary Paas were also listed as members of the Philippine team in the latest medal report.
The semifinal defeat ended the Philippines’ run, but the team had already secured a podium finish by reaching the final four.
Unlike sports that hold a separate third-place match, the soft tennis team competition awards bronze to the semifinalists, which meant the Filipinas were guaranteed a medal once they qualified for the semifinals.
How the Philippines reached the semifinals
Team Philippines finished the preliminary round with a 2-1 record.
The Filipinas opened their campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Mongolia before defeating Thailand, 2-1.
They then lost their final group-stage encounter against Chinese Taipei, 3-0, but their two victories were enough to put them through to the semifinals.
Their results were:
| Round | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Group Stage | Mongolia | Philippines won, 3-0 |
| Group Stage | Thailand | Philippines won, 2-1 |
| Group Stage | Chinese Taipei | Philippines lost, 0-3 |
| Semifinal | Japan | Philippines lost, 0-2 |
The bronze is particularly significant because this is the country’s first Asian Games medal in soft tennis.

How Does the Asian Games Medal Table Work?
The Asian Games medal standings are primarily determined by the number of gold medals won by each country.
So a country with five gold medals would normally be ranked higher than a country with four gold medals even if the second country has more total medals.
If two countries have the same number of gold medals, silver medals are considered next.
If they are still tied, bronze medals are used.
That means the Philippine ranking can move significantly whenever the country wins a gold medal, even if other delegations have accumulated more total medals.
Because events are finishing throughout the day, the overall Asian Games standings can also change very quickly.
For that reason, it’s better to look at the Philippine gold-silver-bronze count alongside its overall ranking rather than focusing only on total medals.
Asian Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya
The 20th Asian Games officially run from September 19 to October 4, 2026, in Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya and several other locations in Japan.
Some preliminary competitions began even earlier, including basketball matches starting on September 10.
The Games feature 43 sports and 469 medal events, making this one of the largest editions of the Asian Games.
That also means the medal table we’re seeing now is only the beginning.
A large portion of the medals will be decided over the next two weeks.
How Did the Philippines Perform at the Previous Asian Games?
For comparison, Team Philippines finished the previous Asian Games in Hangzhou with:
| Medal | Hangzhou Total |
|---|---|
| 🥇 Gold | 4 |
| 🥈 Silver | 2 |
| 🥉 Bronze | 12 |
| Total | 18 |
The Philippines finished 17th in the final medal standings with four golds, two silvers and 12 bronze medals.
The four gold medals came from:
EJ Obiena in men’s pole vault, Meggie Ochoa and Annie Ramirez in jiu-jitsu, and Gilas Pilipinas in men’s basketball.
Those 18 medals provide a useful benchmark when following the Philippine campaign in Aichi-Nagoya.
But the 2026 tally is now a completely new race.
And it started with soft tennis.
