MANILA, Philippines — Despite early setbacks on Day 3 of the 2026 Asian Games, Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) President Rep. Abraham "Bambol" Tolentino remains steadfast in his prediction that Team Philippines will bring home at least eight gold medals. In an exclusive interview, the POC chief made it clear that he is not backing down from his high expectations for the national squad. "There's no backing down from this. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with dreaming. It doesn't cost anything—it's free," Tolentino stated, emphasizing that the tournament has only just begun. When asked where the expected gold medals will come from, Tolentino rattled off a deep roster of remaining contenders, including mixed martial arts, Alex Eala, Carlos Yulo, EJ Obiena, boxing, athletics (Busong), 3x3 basketball, Mobile Legends, and jiu-jitsu. "That’s more than ten potential events. So we haven’t lost hope at all. We will definitely win golds," he declared. Tolentino highlighted that surpassing the country's previous four-gold haul remains highly achievable. He noted that today's Filipino athletes receive significantly better financial support, training allowances, and foreign coaching to help them level the playing field against heavily funded naturalized competitors from rival nations. His final word of encouragement to the athletes: "Just keep fighting. There are no replays... use strategy as well. Once you're ahead, don't get overly eager." "The gold rush is still on! Keep the faith, Pilipinas!" TMT

<p>Even with all <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears" target="_blank" >the Bears</a>’ urgency and their confidence that they’re ready to push for a trip to the Super Bowl, they’d be wise to proceed cautiously with quarterback Caleb Williams’ hamstring injury.</p><p>It wasn’t clear Monday exactly what their plan was, but it’d be hard to imagine general manager Ryan Poles and coach Ben Johnson taking any chances by rushing him.</p><p>Johnson avoided boxing himself in with any sort of timetable or projection, saying only that he didn’t think Williams would practice this week leading up to the Bears’ home game Monday against the Eagles. He did not, however, rule out Williams for that game despite saying earlier in his weekly ESPN 1000 appearance that he would “likely miss some time.”</p><p><a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/09/20/empathy-for-bears-qb-caleb-williams-aside-tyson-bagent-couldnt-ask-for-a-better-opportunity" >It’s almost certain that backup Tyson Bagent will work with the starters</a> when the Bears resume practice Wednesday, setting him up for his first start since 2023.</p><p>Johnson gave minimal information on Williams’ injury, perhaps out of gamesmanship or from annoyance with being peppered about it in the first 24 hours after Williams was carted to the locker room at the end of the Bears’ 9-3 loss to the Vikings.</p><p>When pressed for the next steps and whether Williams or the team would govern whether he was healthy enough to contribute, Johnson left it open-ended.</p><p>“He’s right now working through every avenue that he’s got available to get back on track here,” he said. “This guy’s a little bit different than the average human being. ...

He’s got a great team around him, both in this building and outside this building, and we’ll see where it goes from there.”</p><p>The Bears surely would prioritize the long term when it comes to Williams, of whom they’ve spoken openly about hoping to sign to a contract extension after the season. On that topic, all Johnson said was the team would make sure he’s “ready to go” before he returns.</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center> <div class="RelatedList-title">Related</div> <ul class="RelatedList-items"> <li class="RelatedList-items-item"> <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/09/21/bears-qb-caleb-williams-hamstring-avoided-serious-hamstring-injury-mri" >Bears QB Caleb Williams has avoided serious hamstring injury</a> </li> <li class="RelatedList-items-item"> <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/09/20/empathy-for-bears-qb-caleb-williams-aside-tyson-bagent-couldnt-ask-for-a-better-opportunity" >Empathy for Bears QB Caleb Williams aside, Tyson Bagent couldn’t ask for a better opportunity</a> </li> </ul> </div> <p></p>
