Luke Gebbie, Sacho Ilustre, Jean-Pierre Khouzam and Jarod Hatch fought toe-to-toe with the bronze medalists from Vietnam (3:22.45). &quot;There&#x27;s a lot of talk about how the relay would be. This is for the country,&quot; Hatch said after winning his first medal. Meanwhile, Remedy Rule increased her personal medal tally to 3 after clinching a bronze in the women&#x27;s 200 freestyle (2:01.64) behind Thi Anh Vien Nguyen of Vietnam (2:00.75) and Natthanan Junkrajang (2:00.93). &quot;I gave it my all and ended up with a medal for the Philippines. It&#x27;s been amazing. I&#x27;ve been laughing with teammates. I can only control how fast can I go,&quot; Rule said. &quot;But of course, I want the gold but I don&#x27;t want to be disappointed for giving my best.&quot;Chloe Kennedy Anne Isleta secured her first SEA Games medal with a bronze in the women&#x27;s 200 backstroke (2:18.48). Capturing the gold was Nguyen anew (2:15.32) and Nurul Fitriyati of Indonesia (2:17.84).&quot;I think it really helped that Roxanne (Yu) is near me. We calm each other down before the race. A lot of people helped me to be here,&quot; Isleta said. The Philippines could have added more medals but two other local swimmers finished fourth in their respective events. Jarod Hatch timed 53.99 in the men&#x27;s 100 butterfly. Defending Olympic champion Schooling narrowly won the gold after a challenge from countryman Zeng Wen Quah. Rodgers Joy missed the podium, too, as she fell short in the women&#x27;s 50 breaststroke. The Philippines has amassed a gold to go along with 2 silver and 3 bronze medals after 3 days of competition. <div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website.</a></div>
