The gold was bagged by Sydney's younger brother Chino Sy Tancontian (-98 kg), and the silvers were provided by Troy Estrella Legaspi (-71kg) and Janry Pamor (58kg).
Pilipinas Sambo President Paolo Tancontian is very happy with the team's victory, which he considered as three of their best young male talent.
"I'm grateful we won 2 Golds in 1 Week," Tancontian said.
Sydney won the gold earlier in the +80KG women's sport sambo event in the tournament by some of the top Sambo practitioners in Asia.
