AS an expression of recognition, gratitude and appreciation for their efforts, President Rodrigo Duterte doubled the incentives of the country's medalists in the 31st Southeast Asian (SEA) Games held in Vietnam.

'President Duterte was very pleased by the performance of our athletes in the last Vietnam SEA Games and doubling their incentives is his way of recognizing and showing his appreciation for their efforts,' said Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman William 'Butch' Ramirez, who led the courtesy call of the Philippine contingent at Malacañang Tuesday evening.
