SELECT track and field bets who stood out in the 30th Southeast Asian Games have been given assurance by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) of its all-out support in their respective buildup for the Tokyo Olympics.

Philippine Track and Field Association head Philip Ella Juico on Thursday met with PSC chairman Butch Ramirez, who promised that the government funding arm would take good care of pole vaulters EJ Obiena and Natalie Uy, sprinter-hurdler Eric Cray, runner Kristina Knott, marathoner Christine Hallasgo and shot putter Willie Morrison.

Obiena has actually qualified for Tokyo after a landmark win in Italy late last year while the rest are raring to join him.
