By Waylon Galvez

Rep. Mikee Romero is still upbeat of competing in the 30th Southeast Asian Games despite suffering a bad fall during the national polo team’s training in Argentina.

Romero, who is seeing action for the first time in the biennial meet, said his physical therapist worked him up after he was thrown off his horse that left him unable to walk straight for two days.

The founding member of the Philippine National Federation of Polo Players plans to take an x-ray when the team returns to Manila, but insists he’ll still suit up for the SEA Games regardless of the results.

Drawing of lots for the polo competition will be during the welcome dinner on Nov. 23 while action fires off on Nov. 24 in Calatagan, Batangas.
