The Philippine men's team composed of Dustin Mella, Jeordan Dominguez, and Rodolfo Reyes, Jr. fell to China in the semifinal round while the women's team made up of Faye Crisostomo, Rinna Babanto, and Janna Oliva were bumped of by a very cohesive United Korea team.
Wushu's Agatha Wong copped the third bronze for the Philippines with a scintillating performance in women's all-round taijiquan/taijijian event.
Impression: The Philippines is a darkhorse in most of the event in these disciplines. We're good enough to hang with the big boys of the sport but maybe not yet good enough to beat them But it's also a good indication of the development of both taekwondo and wushu in the country, as we've consistently been able to show good performances here. I expect a couple more medals to come from wushu and taekwondo.
