MEMBERS of the Bangus Taekwondo Club of Dagupan City asserted their mastery when they harvested 11 gold, 5 silver, and 6 bronze medals in the PTA Region I Taekwondo Championships Kyorugi Category last October 27 at Candon Civic Center in Candon City, Ilocos Sur.

The gold medalists were Lannah De Jesus, Scarlet Caalim, Chloae Solomon, Princess Pascual, Jana Juguilon, Nicole De Vera, CJ Resurreccion, Ronzjie Cancino, Steven Caalim, Chester Esmas, and Jandy Viari.

Awarded silvers medals were Jayson Bravo, Chritian Rique, Jester Palisoc, Earl Magno, and Seam Aurelio while the bronze medal winners were Rogelio Dalope, Angela Torio, Cindy Zhang, EJ Munar, Andrei Cuison, and Mia Munar.

Additionally, the Bangus Taekwondo Club garnered three major awards including the 1st Runners Up Overall Kyorugi, Junior Division Champions Kyorugi, and Senior Division Champions Kyorugi.

“This success was unexpected, we barely beat the deadline for submission of players and were still in Manila playing the National Poomsae and finalizing the team list during the opening of the PHI Demo Team. Then there was still a typhoon and the team might not be able to go plus our requested vehicle didn’t make it in time, requiring us  travel on our own,” BTC head coach CJ Daroya said.

“They gave everything to training and games, the rest was an extra merit,” he added. (Kim Gealogo)
