| Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
The Philippines competed at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, from May 4 to July 27, 1924. The nation's participation at these Games marked its debut, and the debut of any Southeast Asian country, at the Summer Olympics. The delegation comprised one athlete, sprinter David Nepomuceno, and two officials, attaché B. Minelle and athletics coach and executive officer Regino Ylanan. Two other athletes, Fortunato Catalon and Juan Taduran, were supposed to join Nepomuceno but did not compete.
Nepomuceno was the flagbearer for the nation at the opening ceremony, but protested against the use of the flag of the United States alongside the flag of the Philippines per a decision made by the French Olympic Committee. He participated in two events, the men's 100 meters and 200 meters, but failed to advance to the later rounds.
