Hidilyn Diaz, the first athlete to win an Olympic gold medal for the Philippines.

The Philippines made its Olympic debut during the 1924 Summer Olympics held in Paris, France with David Nepomuceno as the sole participant, competing in the Men's 100 metres and 200 metres athletic events. In the next Olympic Games at Amsterdam, Netherlands, the commonwealth won its first medal when swimmer Teófilo Yldefonso finished third at the Men's 200 metre breaststroke aquatic event. In the Los Angeles 1932 Olympics, the country was awarded three bronze medals, the most fruitful for the Filipinos until 2020. It was even said that Los Angeles' weather helped the athletes, as it was comparatively the same as that of the Philippines. The country would win another bronze medal at Berlin 1936 courtesy of Miguel White in the Men's 400 metre hurdles athletic event.

After independence from the United States, the country did not win another medal until the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, when boxer Anthony Villanueva was beaten at the gold medal bout, thus claiming silver. His father, José Villanueva, was one of the bronze medalists in 1932.

The next Olympic medals for the Philippines come from Boxing, with Leopoldo Serrantes winning bronze at Seoul 1988, Roel Velasco winning another bronze four years later in Barcelona, Spain, and his brother Mansueto "Onyok" Velasco, claiming silver after losing in the gold medal bout in the 1996 Summer Olympics at Atlanta, United States.

After a long medal drought in four Summer Olympics, from 2000 to 2012, the Philippines won another medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics when Hidilyn Diaz finished second at the Women's 53 kg weightlifting at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Four years later, Diaz won the country's first ever gold medal in the Olympic Games.

In the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the Philippines had its highest medal haul in Olympic history with four, eclipsing the three medals the country won in 1932. Together with Hidilyn Diaz's gold medal finish in the Women's 55 kg weightlifting category, the other athletes finishing with medals are Nesthy Petecio, winning a silver medal in the Women's featherweight boxing finals, Carlo Paalam, also winning a silver medal in the Men's flyweight boxing finals, and Eumir Marcial, with a bronze medal finish in the Men's middleweight boxing category semifinals.
