Support PH bets in Asian Para Games

"Our national para athletes have worked just as hard, if not harder, to compete in the Asian Para Games so I pray that our compatriots give them their all-out support as they gave our national athletes," said Barredo as the first batch of the Hangzhou-bound campaigners left yesterday.

The PPC honcho said that he was"guardedly optimistic'' about the chances of the Filipino bets, who will bid to surpass the medal haul 10 gold, 8 silver and 11 bronzes, winding up 11 overall in the third edition held in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2018. Although declining to make any forecasts,"my position is always for our athletes to match or do better than our previous performances. that is always the target," said the PPC official, who is also the vice president of the Asian Paralympic Committee.

While citing chess and swimming as the major gold medal prospects anew, Barredo said not to be overlooked are the other disciplines like cycling powerlifting, which also delivered medals in the previous Games.
