Alex Eala and Bryan Bagunas, two athletes who have brought PH sports to an exciting level with their success abroad, have been chosen as the country's flag-bearers in the parade of athletes during the opening ceremony of the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Thailand on Dec. 9.
Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) President Abraham "Bambol” Tolentino made the announcement on Tuesday, Dec. 2, citing the contribution the two athletes have made in Philippine tennis and men's volleyball, respectively.
"Popularity aside, Alex and Bryan have made impacts in the global sports community and that makes them the best choice to carry the flag in the SEA Games," said Tolentino.
