Philippines at the 2024 Summer Olympics

The Philippines is scheduled to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024, celebrating the centenary of the team's debut in the same city. Filipino athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games from 1924 onwards, except for Moscow 1980 as part of the American-led boycott.

Administration
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) president Al Panlilio would be initially appointed as the chef de mission for the Philippine delegation for the 2024 Summer Olympics back in 2022. In February 2023, Panlilio would be replaced by Philippine Rowing Association honorary chairman and Cavite governor Jonvic Remulla for the role.

Qualification
The Philippines aims to qualify as many as twenty athletes. They would hope to qualify more sportspeople in swimming, taekwondo, rowing, shooting, wrestling, cycling, and judo. The national football team advanced to the second round of AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, but failed to qualify. The Gilas Pilipinas men's basketball team also reached the semi-finals of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Latvia but was not able to secure a spot at the Olympics.

Averted WADA sanction
In January 2024, the delegation was put at risk of facing a ban on using the Philippine flag at the Games after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) tagged the Philippine Sports Commission for non-compliance with doping regulations. The tagging would be disputed and referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The issue would be resolved by March 2024 when WADA cleared the Philippines.

Preparation
The Philippine delegation in late June 2024 started a one-month training camp in Metz in France, as opposed to prior editions where Filipino athletes would come to the host country a just a few days prior to the Games. The training venue was secured in early 2024. Adidas would be the official outfitter of the delegation.

Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham Tolentino projected that the delegation would surpass the performance made back in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where the Philippines won their first ever gold medal.

Opening ceremony
The Philippine delegation originally proposed weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz as their flagbearer for the opening ceremony since in honor of her winning the country's first ever Olympic gold medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Since Diaz has failed to qualify and organizers insists that flagbearers should be competing athletes, Boxers Nesthy Petecio and Carlo Paalam were designated for the role instead by virtue of being the country's two silver medalists in the last edition. The two would be wearing, the Sinag Barong, a custom barong by Francis Libiran which features a red and blue sling over the wearer's left upper arm.

Broadcasters
The Manny V. Pangilinan (MVP) group will provide coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics in the Philippines. Cignal TV is the official media and broadcast partner in the Philippines. Cignal would provide coverage through its numerous free-to-air and paid networks.

Smart Communications would provide coverage of the games through streaming via their own mobile app and social media-based platforms.

Competitors
The following is the list of number of competitors in the Games.

Athletics
Filipino track and field athletes achieved the entry standards for Paris 2024, either by passing the direct qualifying mark (or time for track and road races) or by world ranking, in the following events (a maximum of 3 athletes each): Obiena met the qualifying mark at the BAUHAUS-galan meet of the 2023 Diamond League on 2 July. Hurdlers, John Cabang and Lauren Hoffman would qualify through world rankings.

Obiena has been dealing with unspecified "physical problem" lingering since April but has vowed to compete.

Boxing
The Philippines entered five boxers (two men and three women) for Paris 2024.

Later on, Aira Villegas (women's flyweight) and Nesthy Petecio (women's featherweight) qualified themselves to the games, by winning the quota bouts round, in their respective division, at the 2024 World Olympic Qualification Tournament 1 in Busto Arsizio, Italy. Carlo Paalam and Hergie Bacyadan also qualified by winning the quota bouts round in men's featherweight and women's middleweight divisions, respectively, at the 2024 World Olympic Qualification Tournament 2 in Bangkok, Thailand.

A formal appeal to the IOC was made so that retired professional boxer Manny Pacquiao could compete. This was denied with the IOC refusing to waive the age limit for competitors and requirement to participate in the qualifiers.

Fencing
For the first time since 1992, the Philippines entered one fencer into the Olympic competition. Samantha Catantan qualified for the games by winning the women's individual foil events at the 2024 Asia and Oceania Zonal Qualifying Tournament in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Golf
Philippines entered two golfers into the Olympic tournament. Bianca Pagdanganan and Dottie Ardina qualified based on their ranking at the Olympic Golf Rankings.

Artistic
The Philippines qualified four gymnasts to the games. Carlos Yulo earned his berth by being the highest ranked eligible athlete on floor exercise at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships; Aleah Finnegan earned her berth by being one of the fourteen highest-ranked eligible athletes in the women's all-around at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships; Levi Ruivivar earned a berth via the World Cup series, in which she had the second highest accumulation of points on the uneven bars; and Emma Malabuyo earned a berth after she won the bronze medal in the women's all-around at the 2024 Asian Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Finnegan, Malabuyo, and Ruivivar are the first Filipina gymnasts to qualify for the Summer Olympics since 1964 that featured Maria-Luisa Floro and Evelyn Magluyan.

Filipino rowers qualified one boat for women's single sculls events, through the 2024 Asia & Oceania Qualification Regatta in Chungju, South Korea. Joanie Delgaco became the first female rower to represent the Philippines at the Olympics.

Swimming
The Philippines nominated two swimmers as a recipients of universality places from FINA. Kayla Sanchez and Jarod Hatch were the ones who received the nomination. The country requested for Hatch and Sanchez to be given a berth for the men's 100m freestyle and women's 100m backstroke respectively which is subject for approval from World Aquatics.

Weightlifting
The Philippines entered three weightlifters into the Olympic competition. John Ceniza (men's 61 kg), Elreen Ando (women's 59 kg), and Vanessa Sarno (women's 71 kg) secured one of the top ten slots, each in their respective weight divisions based on the IWF Olympic Qualification Rankings (OQR).

Hidilyn Diaz, the Philippines' first ever Olympic gold medalist, notably failed to qualify. Competing in the now scrapped women's 55 kg class back in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Diaz moved to 59 kg. Ando would qualify at her expense, since each country can only qualify one weightlifter per weight division through the OQR.

Rosegie Ramos reportedly also qualified but would shortly after fall outside the top 10 of the IWF Olympic Qualification Ranking at eleventh place. Her qualification was denied by the IWF.
