The Philippines competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics, which was held in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012.[1] This was the nation's twentieth appearance at the Olympics.
The Philippine Olympic Committee sent the nation's smallest delegation to the Games since 1996. A total of 11 athletes, 7 men and 4 women, competed in 8 sports. Four athletes received their spots in track and field, and in swimming by wild card entries.[2] Other Filipino athletes won their spots by participating in various qualifying matches around the world.[2] Three athletes had competed in Beijing, including weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, who became the nation's first female flag bearer at the opening ceremony. The Philippines marked its Olympic return in cycling, and in judo. For the fourth time in a row, the Philippines did not earn any medals at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
