Aug 16, 2017
The Philippines secured its first Medal of the 2017 SEA Games with a Silver in the Men’s Chinlone team event of Sepak Takraw. And hosts Malaysia took the Gold.
NSA President Karen Tanchanco-Caballero was happy with the medal. It was stated in
the Men’s Regu and Doubles Event that they expected to get their anticipated two gold medals. In the 2015 SEA Games, the Philippines took 1 Bronze and 1 Silver in these events.
Malaysia scored 391 points to the Philippines at 271 in the linking event.
The Philippines was represented by John-John Bobier, Rhemwil Catana, Emmanuel Escote, Ronsited Gabayeron, Joeart Jumawan, John Carlo Lee, John Jeffrey Morcillos, RegiePabriga, and Alvin Pangan in the competition.
We were able to beat Myanmar and Thailand; the world champs last year in 2016; I think they are fielding the same teams, said Karen Tanchanco-Caballero, who has high faith in her sport, securing the two golds promised to the Taskforce.
With six more events to go, this is a big morale booster and a good start for Philippines Sepak Takraw.

ABOUT
(Malay: sepak raga; Jawi: سيڤق راڬا; Thai: ตะกร้อ, rtgs: take, pronounced [tā.krɔ̂ː]; Khmer:
សីដក់ Sei Dak; Lao: ກະຕໍ້ ka-taw; Filipino: Sipa; Vietnamese: cầu mây),[1] or kick volleyball, is a sport native to Southeast Asia.[2] Sepaktakraw differs from the similar volleyball sport in its use of a rattan ball and only allows players to use their feet, knee, chest, and head to touch the ball. It is a popular sport in Southeast Asia.
In Malaysia, the game is called sepak raga or takraw. It is also kataw (Lao: “twine” and “kick”)[1], while in Thailand, it is called takraw. In Myanmar, it is known as chin lone and is
considered more of an art as there is often no opposing team, and the point is to keep the ball
aloft gracefully and interestingly. In the Philippines, besides “takraw,” it is also known as sipa, meaning “kick.”
While similar games include footbag net, footvolley, football tennis, bossaball, jianzi, and sipa.
