The Philippines competed at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China from 23 September to 8 October 2023. Originally scheduled to take place in 2022, the Games were postponed and rescheduled to 2023, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The country finished with four golds, two silvers, and 12 bronze medals.
Background Preparations Preparation for the Philippines' participation in the 2022 Asian Games began as early as February 2021, with Philippine Olympic Committee board member George Canlas designated as chef de mission. The buildup of the Philippines team started early due to anticipation that the 2022 Philippine general election could impact preparations. However the Asian Games would be postponed to 2023. The postponement was received positively.
The Philippine Olympic Committee aimed for the delegation to match or surpass its previous record of four gold medals in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.
The Philippine Sports Commission organized a sending off ceremony for the delegation on 18 September 2023 at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay. Philippine Fencing Association president Richard Gomez, whose daughter Juliana competed in the fencing tournament, was the delegation's chef de mission.
The delegation was projected to consist of 395 athletes competing in 40 sports. However this was subject to change, with the country prospectively replacing injured and unavailable athletes through a formal appeal.
The last-minute appeals filed to the organizing committee in September covered five sports.

5x5 basketball Men's tournament
The Philippine national team is coming from a 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup stint playing their last game on September 2, 2023. Chot Reyes stepped down from the head coach role and was replaced by Tim Cone, who had to lead the team in the Asian Games in short notice. Despite this, the national team went on to win their first gold medal since the 1962 Asian Games.
However Justin Brownlee would fail a doping test. He tested positive for Carboxy THC. The gold is expected to remain with the national team as regulations require two other players to fail their doping tests.
Team roster The team roster was first announced on September 12, 2023. On September 19, further changes were made due to eligibility issues and injuries. Changes to the entry by names list submitted to the organizing committee on July 25 required to undergo an appeal. The inclusion of four players were rejected due to not being part of a prior 37-man shortlist submitted to the organizing committee.
