Richard Gomez Secures Silver for Team PH at SEA Games 2025
RICHARD GOMEZ – Actor and public servant Richard Gomez showcased precision and dedication as he captured a silver medal in the sporting clays competition at the SEA Games 2025.
Richard Gomez joyfully marked his return to international competition after helping Team Philippines earn a silver medal at the 2025 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand. The accomplished official expressed his happiness over the achievement, adding another highlight to his enduring journey in competitive sports.
Gomez secured the silver medal in the sporting clays event alongside his teammates Carlo Baltonado and Jed Rivilla at the regional meet. Sporting clays is a shooting sport where athletes aim at fast-moving clay targets launched into the air, testing their accuracy, concentration, and coordination.
Images of the Leyte 4th District Representative celebrating the victory were shared on the official Facebook page of the City Government of Ormoc. The post emphasized that the accomplishment was a source of pride not just for the athletes, but for the entire nation.
The caption read, “Proud moment for the nation as Team Philippines clinched the silver medal in the Sporting Clays Competition at the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Thailand.
“The Philippine contingent is also composed of Ormocanons—Leyte 4th District Representative Richard Gomez, Carlo Baltonado, and Jed Rivilla.
“Congratulations, Team Philippines!”
In the first photo included in the post, Gomez is seen with his wife, Ormoc City Mayor Lucy Torres-Gomez, who is wearing the silver medal, while he holds a trophy. The moment captured reflects the couple’s mutual pride and unwavering support for each other in both their public roles and personal milestones.
Another photo shows Gomez together with Baltonado and Rivilla, joined by other members of Team Philippines competing in the SEA Games 2025. There were also photos of Richard and Lucy posing with Filipino fans who attended the event, proudly waving the Philippine flag to cheer on the country’s athletes.
This achievement is not Gomez’s first appearance at the Southeast Asian Games. In 2005, he was a member of the men’s epee team that won a gold medal at the SEA Games held in the Philippines. His recent success further solidifies his reputation as a dedicated athlete who consistently brings pride to the nation through both sports and public service.
