With tension easing down and only two sports to be played in the 2025 World Games, Filipino athletes heading home can proudly hold their heads high with or without a medal.

For Chef de Mission Stephen Arapoc, who is the president of the Muay Thai Association of the Philippines, it is mission accomplished.

"The World Games opened our eyes to what is ahead of us in each sports competition. It may appear hard, but with all fairness I must say they gave it all," said Arapoc, who was tasked to oversee the campaign of the 48 athletes here in the 11-day tournament for non-Olympic disciplines.
