The second quest on Physical: Asia was the Shipwreck Transportation Match. The Group A match was between Team Japan and Team Australia, which the latter won.

Group B's match was between Team Mongolia and Team Philippines, which started in episode 3. They were notified about the challenge. They had to move the goods to the opposite side of the shipwreck. To do so, there were two types of goods. Crates (50kg) and the sandbags (20kg).

While crates needed to be transported via air, it would require a dedicated participant. As for the sandbags, there was a cart. Soon, the match started with 20 minutes on the clock. Team Philippines decided to focus more on the sandbags. Their captain assigned duties to each player.

"I went ahead and assigned each of my teammates a task. We had to divide up what to do. I assigned Ray to carry the box. And also, Robyn will be on the rope," confessed Manny Pacquiao.

On the other hand, Team Mongolia decided to go for crates and not the bags. They chose Ochir on the rope. Physical: Asia's Orkhonbayar noted that their team was not worried about their opponents. Both teams chose to have a female player on the rope.

The match started with the whistle. Team Philippines started moving bags, while Team Mongolia got the crates. Most of the Philippines' players were onto the sandbags, and one of them was moving the boxes.

Philippines' Ray was out of breath after he moved a couple of boxes by himself. He confessed that it was a two-person task. He noted that they should have re-strategized.

"So when I saw Ray, having a difficult time, that's why I started telling him...like, give him a different role, as if he could understand, just to help the team," a Philippines player confessed.

Ray started throwing the sandbags. Their team captain, Manny Pacquiao, got two bags on his back and one in his hand. He was determined to win. Team Mongolia got multiple bags on their shoulders and carried them turn by turn.

Physical: Asia's Team Mongolia was leading with 300 kg. On the other hand, Team Philippines had transported 180 kg during the challenge. Soon, with ten minutes remaining, both teams' weight was revealed. It was the same, 400 kg.

After the weight was revealed, the episode ended. The Shipwreck Transportation Match between the Philippines and Mongolia continued in Physical: Asia Episode 4.

"My knees began to shake. My body was extremely tired. I was sore everywhere, but I just kept pushing," confessed Manny.

After the task was over, the weight for both teams' goods was revealed. The Philippines' weight was 1290 kg. For Team Mongolia, it was 2000 kg. As a result, Team Mongolia came out on top, as they won the second quest.

Seeing the difference between their scores, Team Philippines captain Manny noted that they were outsized. He also mentioned that they could not blame anybody. Despite doing their best, he said that it was hard to accept defeat.
