Harlene Raguin reached the finals of the women's epee, where she fell to Vietnam's Thran Ti Len. Fencing was also the source of the country's first medal, also a silver, on Wednesday courtesy of Justine Tinio.

 

Veteran Richard Gonzales bagged the day's other silver for the Philippines. The 44-year-old sealed his place in the finals of the men's singles competition with a come-from-behind win against Singapore's Clarence Chew Zhe Yu. But he fell short against another Singaporean, Gao Ning, in the gold medal match.

 

Nathan Perez, meanwhile, added to the Philippine tally with a bronze medal in the men's individual foil.
