The Wushu Federation of the Philippines (WFP) is the official national governing body for Wushu in the Philippines under the International Wushu Federation. The WFP is a regular member of Philippine Olympic Committee as NSA or National Sports Association.
In 2008, the WFP was recognized as the "National Sports Association of the Year" by the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) due to the impressive achievements of nanquan athlete Willy Wang at the 2007 World Wushu Championships and the 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament.[1] In 2016, the federation won the same reward due to the double gold medal victories of sanda athletes Divine Wally and Arnel Mandal at the 2015 World Wushu Championships held in Jakarta, Indonesia as well as the several victories of Daniel Parantac at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games.[2]
