Philippines at the 2018 Asian Para Games

The Philippines participated at the 2018 Asian Para Games which was held in Jakarta, Indonesia from 6 to 13 October 2018.

57 athletes contested in 10 out of 18 events in the games with Francis Carlos Diaz serving as chef de mission of the Philippine delegation. According to Diaz, Filipino para-athletes had better preparation for this edition of the Games compared to the last edition held in 2014 in Incheon, South Korea. The Philippine Sports Commission, a sports government agency, has given an "astronomical" amount of financial aid to the athletes relative to aid given in the previous editions which was used to buy their training equipment and supplies and they had a year long of training similar to non para-athletes. They have also secured sponsorship from small-scale private firms.

With improved financial support from both the government and the private sector, and the Philippines targeted to surpass its previous performance in the 2014 edition where the country won five silver and five bronze medals. The athletes were aiming to win the country's first gold medal in the Asian Para Games in this edition of the games. The delegation garnered 29 medals, ten of which were gold, and placed 11th overall improving from their 29th place finish at the 2014 games.
