Philippine National Water Polo Team

01/05/2026

Today, May 1, 2026, with deep sorrow, we share that our dearest Technical Director, Coach Richard Luna, has joined our Father God.

We are truly grateful for the dedication, passion, and invaluable contributions he shared with the Philippine Aquatics community. His legacy will continue to inspire athletes, coaches, and everyone whose lives he has touched.

In this time of grief, we humbly ask for your prayers for the eternal repose of his soul, and for strength and comfort for his family and loved ones.

He will always remain in our hearts. 🤍

We end our 33rd SEA Games Water Polo Campaign with heads held high! 🤽🏼‍♂️🤽🏼‍♀️

Composed of 23 SEA Games debutants led by 4 seasoned national water polo team players all ready to answer the call and fight for our country, we remain proud to have put up a fight and showed up until the very last buzzer. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

We are all in awe of what we have accomplished in less than a year and even more excited of what we're capable of and what the future holds for us! Together, we move forward as one team, one soul, one heart, and one nation! ❤️💙💛

With this, we would like to thank the Philippine Aquatics, Inc. and the Philippine Sports Commission for the support, understanding, opportunities, and trust you gave the Philippine National Water Polo Teams. 🌊🌊🌊

To our coaches, Roi Dela Cruz, Sherwin de la Paz, and Filip Stojanovic, thank you for the hard work you put into the team in order to improve with such limited time we had. 🤽🏼‍♂️🤽🏼‍♀️

To Ms. Donna Quinto who served as our team manager for the 33rd Southeast Asian Games, we are grateful for all you’ve done the whole year long for the team! 👩🏻‍💻

Thanks also to our technical official, Aldo Tong, and referee, Bea Garrido, for making sure the games were fair and held with integrity under a Filipino’s watch. 🥅

Special thanks to Sir Jijo de Guzman for capturing our best moments all throughout the year and sharing your lens with us! 📸

And to complete our water polo crew: we thank YOU - families, friends, Philippine Water Polo supporters, and our fellow Filipinos for the strength you gave us in every block, shot, pass, and stroke. We wouldn’t make it this far without you! Taos pusong pasasalamat ang aming inihahandog sa inyo! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Ang mga manlalaro ng Water Polo ay nagpakita ng tibay at lakas ng loob ng tunay na Pilipino, salamat sa sakripisyo at paglaban! Mabuhay ang mga atleta ng Pilipinas Water Polo! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

DAY 2 ✅

In another close match, our men’s team failed to make a comeback with a late fourth quarter run and settled for a 1 goal loss against Malaysia! While our women’s team kept pushing the Malaysian side to take a hard fought win after a very defensive game from both sides. 🤽🏼‍♀️🤽🏼‍♂️🇵🇭🇲🇾

Steady progress and great effort from both our squads! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Tomorrow the Philippine Men’s National Water Polo Team go against host nation Thailand! Our Philippine Women’s National Water Polo Team goes for it again against Indonesia in the afternoon. 🇹🇭🇮🇩
