Swimmer Ernie Gawilan and wheelchair racer Jerrold Mangliwan are next up for the Philippines in the Tokyo Paralympics, as they compete on Friday in their respective events.
Mangliwan, the country's flag bearer during Monday's opening ceremonies, wheels into play in the T52 men's 400-meter run at 10:43 a.m. at the Japan National Stadium. A native of Tabuk, Kalinga, Mangwilan, 41, vowed to dedicate his race not only for the country but also for his coach, Joel Deriada, who was left back home after testing positive for COVID-19 on the eve of the team's departure for the Japanese capital.
Deriada said from Manila that the athlete was in high spirits and was eager to perform well in the event where he also reached the finals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil five years ago.
