The Philippine Army contingent will receive its first perpetual trophy, the carbine falling plates, during the ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet 2017 closing ceremony.

The country's shooting team aims to have a better finish in this year's week-long marksmanship contest.

The Philippines placed third last year with 23 gold, 22 silver, and 26 bronze medals. It ranked behind the Indonesian Army and the Royal Thai Army, which took the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively.
