That’s good news. There’s been no mention of the team in the local papers at all. If they go, I think they’ll be the first Philippine athletes to represent the country in a team event at the World Games.
With the 2024 Bolivarian Games done and dusted, I thought it'd be a good time to look at next year's slate of international multi-sport games. Here's what I have written down on my personal schedule:

I'm not sure about the status of the Caribbean Games and Central American and Caribbean Beach Games, so those might eventually find a spot on the calendar as well (I just haven't seen anything confirmed yet.)
looking at Today's NHL Rosters, this is a list of player that surely would be eligible to play for (even if many of them have already played at the World Champs/Olympics for / in the past, sometime recent past)
