Tolentino clocked 7.64 seconds in the men’s 60m hurdles behind David Yefremov of Kazakhstan (7.60) and Qin Weibo of China (7.63).
Tolentino's time is a new Philippine indoor record, but needs ratification before it becomes official, according to the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association.
