MANILA, Philippines — NESTHY PETECIO and Carlo Paalam will be in the forefront as flag-bearers of a 16-member Philippine representation in the never-done-before opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics on Friday.
'We'll be a proud and hopeful 16-strong Team Philippines in the opening ceremony,' said Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham 'Bambol' Tolentino from Paris who won't be joining the parade of countries and will be sitting in the Olympic Family section on a bank along the Seine River.
The three weightlifters—Vanessa Sarno, John Febuar Ceniza and Erleen Ann Ando—have yet to conclude their training in Metz and are due at the Olympic Village on August 6, according to Tolentino.
