Glicerio Badilles has three times represented the Philippine team in the Chess Olympiads (1956, 1964, 1972). In 1956, at first board, he replaced the then Philippine chess champion Florencio Campomanes, who excused himself with fatigue and asked Badiljes to change boards. Also Glicerio Badilles participated in 18th Chess Olympiad in 1968. He arrived as the coach of the Philippine chess team, but at the last moment agreed to represent Hong Kong's national team, which lacked one player. At the reserve board, Badillie has won 11½ points out of 14 possible and won an individual gold medal, while the other Hong Kong chess players have collected only 17½ points.
