Philippines athletics prize money
The Philippines have taken $78,125 out of athletics, 76th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. EJ Obiena is the only athlete on it, on $78,125.
All of it belongs to one athlete by name. The Philippines have never been paid a relay purse, a World Relays ladder place or a cross country team standing, which are the three things that pay a federation rather than a person.
Every Philippines athlete athletics has paid
1 of them, biggest first
| # | ATHLETE | PAID | WINS | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | EJ Obiena | 23 | 1 | $78,125 |
Career totals across all six competitions, not a single season. PAID is how many finishing places were paid for, which is a different count from wins: a second place in a Diamond League final and a world title are both one payment. One of these athletes has a page of their own here.

| All six | 1 | 1 | $78,125 | — | $78,125 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for the Philippines on $78,125, 100% of the national total. It is also the only one of the six that has ever paid the Philippines anything. The Philippines have won nothing at the World Championships, the World Indoor Championships, the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column adds up to 1 because no Philippines athlete has been paid by more than one of the six. Where one has, the same person is counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total.
