00:00 Meggie Ochoa earns her first-ever Asian Games gold medal after ruling the women's 48-kilogram
00:06 jiu-jitsu event in China on Thursday, October 5. The 2018 Asian Games bronze medalist breaks
00:12 through a new milestone in her career after a masterful run in the one-day tournament,
00:16 culminating in a gold medal win via advantage over Balkis Abdullah of the United Arab Emirates.
00:21 Meggie is the first Filipina to cop gold in the Games' 19th edition and the second after
00:26 world number two Paul Volter E.J. Obiena. Following Meggie's win, the Philippines now
00:31 has a chance to tie or even surpass its four-gold haul in 2018, as the likes of Ymir Marcial and the
00:37 Gila's Pilipinas men's basketball team are also fighting for gold in their respective sports.
