The Philippines won a marathon double at the Southeast Asian Games Tuesday to boost their medal haul but Thailand reached a half-century of golds and remained well clear of the chasing pack. Eduardo Buenavista took the men's race in two hours, 21 minutes and 10 seconds, finishing 46 seconds ahead of 2007 winner, Indonesia's Yahuza, with Cambodia's Hem Bunting taking the bronze.
In the women's race, Jho-An Banayag took gold in 2hrs 46mins 34secs, edging out defending champion Sunisa Sailomyen of Thailand by 13 seconds with Myanmar's Ni Lar San in third place.
