THE Philippine Sports Commission welcomed the national weightlifting and fencing teams upon their return from their respective qualifying tournaments in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, last week. The country’s lifters took home two gold, six silver, and three bronze medals at the Asian Weightlifting Championships while the fencers secured a bronze medal. The PSC assured the athletes they will receive incentives under Republic Act No. 10699, or the “National Athletes and Coaches Benefits and Incentives Act’’ for their medal-winning efforts. During the welcome, strict health and safety protocols were followed, the PSC said.
