VIENTIANE, Laos — Swimmer Miguel Molina stands to receive P750,000 cash reward from the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) for bagging two gold medals and a silver in the just-ended 25th Southeast Asian Games.

Molina heads more than 100 medalists who will receive cash rewards amounting to over P17 million, according to PSC chairman Harry Angping who closely monitored the Games at home.

In a text message Thursday, Angping congratulated the athletes for a job well done.

"I congratulate them for proving me wrong on my projections. The resiliency and fighting spirit of the Filipino athletes have been shown once again," said Angping.

Before the RP delegation left for this Laotian capital, Angping predicted a 20-gold medal performance, but a strong showing in athletics, boxing and taekwondo helped propel the team to 38 gold medals, nearly double the PSC projection.

Molina, who swept the 200-meter and 400-meter individual medley events and placed second in the 200-meter freestyle, will receive P250,000 as provided by law and additional P500,000 from the PSC.

Republic Act 9064 provides a cash incentive of P100,000 for gold, P50,000 for silver and P10,000 for bronze medalists in the SEA Games.

But prior to the Games, Angping announced additional incentives of P200,000 for gold, P100,000 for each SEA Games record broken and P50,000 for each Philippine mark set.

Aside from P650,000 for winning three medals, Molina will receive P100,000 for breaking the Games record in the 200-meter individual medley.

Rubilen Amit, who won the 9-ball and 8-ball pool singles titles, will receive P600,000 while golfer Chihiro Ikeda will get P400,000, P300,000 for winning the women’s individual golf and P100,000 for sharing the team gold.
