[5] Asa Miller, who was also the country's flag bearer in the opening ceremony,[6][7] is set to compete for the Philippines in the sport.

[8] Tom Carrasco, Jr., who is the chef de mission for the Philippine delegation, has said he is "not expecting much" from the participation and is just looking to build experience of the athletes.

Miller, who resides in Oregon within the United States, is allowed to compete for the Philippines due to his dual citizenship.

He initially failed to qualify for Winter Olympics after not making a sufficient finish at the CS Nebelhorn Trophy in September 2017.

On January 23, 2018, he was informed that he is eligible to participate in the Games after Sweden returned a quota place and went back to training.

[20] Chef de mission, Tom Carrasco remarked Martinez did his best given the skater's "condition and circumstances".
