ILONGGO jins under the stable of Denmark V. Pinggol were declared the overall champion in the Regional Age-Group Taekwondo Championships in Bacolod City.

The fighters stamped their class after bagging 12 gold, seven silver and two bronze medals in the regional event that gathered more than 200 jins across Western Visayas.

Gold medalists in the elementary level were Sophia Grace Go, Samantha Go, Aiken Avaricio, Niesha Pequierda, and Elizabeth Marie Borres in girls, and Conrad Joseph Pido, Cyd Esmana, Sheine Nicole De Asis, and Josh Carl Macahilig in boys.

Silver medalists in the elementary level were Amelia Victoria and Roivic John Decafe, while Eliana Jamille Comuelo and Elisha Venice Aguilar settled for bronze.

In secondary boys and girls, Raphael Lloyd Pico, Angela Marie Joy Bermejo and Joshua Cachero won gold while Xyrus Andrei Desierto, Rannie Rose Dedoroy, Cheri Nicole Latade, and Ronald Kyle Pico ended up with silver.

The overall championship came as a surprise, considering they were only using the age-group contest as preparation for the National Inter-School Taekwondo Championship in Manila later this month, Pinggol said.

“I am so thankful to God for this victory. I was so surprised with the results and the overall champion award,” he said. “The experience they (fighters) gained from this competition will be helpful when we play in Manila.”/PN
