Discrepancy in the new Milo Marathon course record

Could it be possible that the women’s Milo Marathon course record set this year is actually faster by 28 seconds?
A photo of Mary Joy Tabal at the finish line of the 37th Milo Marathon Finals with the 42K race clock at 2:47:48 has the new Marathon Queen confused about her real finish time.
Tabal shattered Jho-ann Banayag’s seven-year old Milo Marathon course record by 16 seconds after breasting the tape at 2:48:00 in the Milo Marathon Finals last December 8.
The finish line photo posted on Tabal’s Facebook Wall on December 14 was captioned “Getting confused about my finish time.”
If the clock time of 2:47:48 depicted in the photograph is Tabal’s correct finish time – then the petite Cebuana’s Milo Marathon women’s record is way faster than Banayag’s erstwhile course record by a whopping 28 seconds.
In elite level marathon competition, 28 seconds is an eternity making the time difference between Tabal’s official finishtime and the clock time depicted in the photo a very serious error that must be clarified if not rectified by Milo’s technical team led by celebrity coach – Rio Dela Cruz.
A review of the official race results published in the Milo Marathon website (https://www.nestle.com.ph/milo/marathon/pdf/milo_marathon_2013_results_manilafinals) reveals that Tabal has an identical gun time and timing chiptime of 2:48:48. The gun time is the time between the start of the race and the time the runner crosses the finish line. The chiptime is the elapse time between the runner crossing the starting line and the time when he crosses the finish line. The determination of winners is based on gun time, not the chip time.
In the comments and discussion thread Tabal was quick to point out that notwithstanding the possible error in her published finish time vis-a-vis the time appearing on the finish line photo, the Cebuana marathoner remains happy with her record-breaking performance. “Wonder ko gamay. Anyways, ok ra gihapon. Happy na kaayo ko sa ako time, but siguro libog lang gamay! Happy na kaau ko ana!”, Tabal posted in the dialect.
Tabal’s attitude towards this possible discrepancy in her record-breaking performance is nothing short of sportsmanship. But I think Tabal deserves to be given credit for all of those 28 seconds (not just 16) .
It may sound like we’re nitpicking, but in record-setting elite marathon competition, there is a whale of difference between 16 seconds and 28 seconds. The difference, if quantified in distance is  200 meters to be exact. It means that in next year’s edition of the Milo Marathon, the bar must be set higher for female elite runners who must break not just 2:48:00 but 2:47:48.
