MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines’ juggernaut continued Tuesday (10 December 2019) in the penultimate day of the 30^th Southeast Asian Games where the Nationals picked up five more golds in different sports disciplines to give PH its highest gold medal harvest in years.

PH’s men’s shooting team shot down the gold in men’s trap team before Aries Toledo struck golds in the 110-meter hurdles and in discus throw even as Janry Ubas also topped the pole vault event.
