MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines is being tipped to win its first Olympic gold medal in the Tokyo Games set July 23 to August 8. And there is a strong chance that no less than President Rodrigo Duterte himself will be there to witness history unfolding. Aside from Duterte, Ramirez and PSC’s national training director Marc Velasco will also fly to Tokyo to help provide the needs of the athletes. Ramirez will be there to join Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham Tolentino and some heads of national sports associations (NSAs). Ramirez is optimistic the country can strike a historic Olympic gold in Tokyo.
