Jordan Clarkson proudly bears the PHL flag in Asian Games opening parade


The Philippine flag was waved high and proud during the opening of the 18th Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia on Saturday.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson bore the flag and led the rest of the Philippine delegation through the colorful opening parade at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK) Stadium.

Photos in the Philippine Sports Commission's Twitter account, grabbed from Sports5's livestream, showed the Philippine team's glowing moment onstage.

 


Filipino athletes were a sight to see in their matching barongs and black jeans, all excitedly waving Philippine flaglets as they marched.

The Philippines was among 45 nations to march and represent their countries in the opening ceremony.

Around 6,000 athletes were in attendance at the event. —Jessica Bartolome/LBG, GMA News
