Reelected Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham Tolentino promised to further defend the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger-Together” during a recent get-together with national sports association officials.

“Let us continue to strive for greater heights in the spirit of teamwork and perfection,” Tolentino said during the event in Pasay City.

“I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all members of the Philippine Olympic Committee. Your dedication, hard work and unity have been instrumental in shaping the success of Philippine sports this year.”

Under Tolentino’s term, the Philippines won its first Olympic gold medal courtesy of weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo in Tokyo (2020+1) and got two gold medals from gymnast Carlos Yulo at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
