SUBIC, Dec. 1 -- Rambo Chicano delivered the first gold for the Philippines after he ruled the 30th Southeast Asian Games men's triathlon on Sunday at Subic Bay Boardwalk here.

After a second-place finish to Nikko Huelgas in the 2017 meet in Kuala Lumpur, the Olongapo City native clocked one hour, 53 minutes and 26 seconds to win his first-ever SEA Games gold medal.

"Sobrang saya na parang di ako makapaniwala pa rin mindset ko na mapakalas naming talaga yung Indonesia kasi nandon siya sa amin all throughout (I'm so happy that I almost I can't believe I won. My mindset is the athlete from Indonesia is strong. He was behind us all throughout)," said Chicano, who clearly had the home-court advantage.
