The Philippine National Arnis Team delivered 14 gold, four silver and two bronze medals for the Philippines, for a total of 20 medals. The gold medal haul of the PNAT represents 10 percent of the total gold medal tally of the Philippine contingent in the SEA Games.

​

A separate resolution, PSR No. 248, was also filed by Angara to recognize the contributions of Majority Leader Migz Zubiri to the PNAT and to Arnis as a sport.

​

Zubiri was credited for his efforts to strengthen and preserve the practice of Arnis as a martial art and sport.

As president and chairman of PEKAF, Zubiri hosted regional competitions and training camps "to push our arnisadors to excellence in preparation for international competitions."

​

"The performance of the Philippine Team for Arnis has been a success, not only in its bountiful harvest of medals, but also in its effectiveness in inspiring appreciation and interest in Arnis among Philippine and international audiences alike," the resolution stated.

​

In the current SEA Games, a total four countries competed in Arnis, namely Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam and the Philippines.

​

The Arnis events were divided into live stick, padded stick and anyo categories for men and women.

​
