Baguio City is in second with 19 golds, 13 silvers, and 16 bronzes even as the Batang Pinoy technical working group issued an apology for the error in its medal count on Tuesday that indicated it had won 23 gold medals.

“The Technical Working Group fully assures all participants and the public of greater vigilance in ensuring the accuracy of reporting of the medal tallies as the games progresses,” said the Batang Pinoy in a statement.
Manila is a close third with 18-18-16 gold-silver-bronze count, while Quezon City is in fourth with 15-16-21. Davao City is in fifth with 14-17-26.
