Ang tinaguriang heroic surfer na si Roger Casugay ang magsisilbing bearer ng Philippine flag para sa pagtatapos ng Southeast Asian Games.

Ayon kay Team Philippines chef de mission Butch Ramirez ang 25-anyos na pride ng La Union ang magbibitbit ng watawat ng Pilipinas.

Ito ay matapos ang kabayanihang ginawa ni Casugay ng iligtas ang kapwa niya surfer na Indonesian sa kasagsagan ng kompetisyon.

Natigil ang kompetisyon noon nang masira ang leash ng surfboard ng dayuhan, at kahit ongoing ang kaniyang performance ay hindi nagdalawang-isip si Casugay at isinalba nito ang kalaban.

Nang mag-resume ang kompetisyon ay nagwagi si Casugay ng gintong medalya sa men’s longboard.

Dahil sa ipinakitang kabutihan, pangungunahan ni Casugay ang 1,185 Filipino athletes sa closing ceremony sa New Clark City Athletics Stadium sa Capas, Tarlac.
