The Philippine Jiu-Jitsu Team has dramatically intensified the country's campaign for the 33rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, parading an impressive medal haul from the recently concluded JJIF 2025 World Championships in Bangkok, Thailand. 

Just one week before the SEA Games officially commence, the national squad, comprising youth and masters athletes, showcased their world-level success. This performance injects significant momentum and confidence into the delegation as they prepare to compete on the regional stage, setting a high bar for their contribution to the overall Philippine medal count.

The national team's strength was officially recognized during a courtesy visit to the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), where PSC Chairman Gregorio, Commissioner Olivia Coo, and Commissioner Matthew Gaston warmly welcomed the athletes. 

The highlight of the presentation was the exceptional performance of Annie Ramirez, who secured a historic double-gold finish, including her first-ever world championship title. This achievement stands out as a clear testament to the team's elite training and competitive readiness, offering a powerful forecast of potential success in the upcoming SEA Games.

With this renewed international success under their belt, the Philippine Jiu-Jitsu Team is now laser-focused on surpassing its previous SEA Games record. In the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia, the team earned a total of 12 medals—three golds, one silver, and eight bronzes. 

The momentum gained from the JJIF World Championships provides a strong platform for the athletes to elevate their game and deliver an even more dominant performance, positioning them as key contenders expected to significantly contribute to the Philippines' gold medal aspirations in the 33rd SEA Games.
