Mike Barredo was the chef de mission.
Lubin achieved a throw of 22.47m, and ranked 11th out of 12.
Dumapong lifted 110 kilograms to win the bronze in her event. She thus became the Philippines' first -and so far only- Paralympic medalist until table tennis paralympian Josephine Medina won another bronze medal in the Rio Paralympics 16 years later. Adeline Dumapong's bronze medal win was a momentous event for the Philippines as this was the first time the country failed to win a single medal in the 2000 Summer Olympics since 1984.
