5 Golds, 3 Silvers, 6 Bronzes for RP team in SEAG 2003
(December, 2003) |
|
|
Landing Gold medal honors for the Philippine Team
in the 2003 Southeast Asian Games were Donald
David Giesler, Dax Albert
Morfe, Margarita Maria Estela Bonifacio, Veronica Domingo,
and Mary Antoinette Rivero
in a mixture of success and disappointment.
Rough sailing. It
was rough sailing for
highly ranked players
such as 2000 Sydney Olympian Roberto "Kitoy" Cruz who was previously
undefeated in the SEA games, fellow Sydney Olympian, Eva Marie Ditan
and 2004 Olympic qualifier Tshomlee Go. After defeating Kyaw Kyaw
Htoo of Myanmar in the first round, Cruz was upset by Phichet
Phibunkhanabak
of Thiland in his Semifinal match and had to settle for the
Bronze.
Women's Fin weight Ditan drew a bye in the first round but lost to
Nguyen Thuyen Dieu of Vietnam also salvaging the Bronze, while Go was
ousted in his very first match by Ussadate Sutthikunkarn of Thailand in
the men's Fly weight.
It was a nice return for Light weight Veronica Domingo who, after
disposing of Emerald Margareth Dien of Indonesia in the Semifinals,
went on to defeat Pham Thi Phoung Quyen of Vietnam in the finals and
has now won back to
back SEAG Golds. Margarita Maria Estela Bonifacio kicked past
Wasittee Prasopsuk of Thailand in her semifinal match, then defeated
Malaysia's Che Chew Chan for the Gold in the Women's Middle weight
division..
Revenge is sweet.
It was sweet revenge for Geisler and Morfe. In his semi final
match, Donnie Geisler defeated defending champion Thit Lwin of Myanmar,
his tormentor in the finals of the 2001 SEAG, and went on to dispose of
Indonesian Rizal Samsir in the Finals of the Light weight
category. Middle weight Dax Morfe won over Phan Tan Dat, the same
Thai who was responsible for giving him a broken shin in 2001.
The shape of things to come.
The youthful 15 year-old Mary Rivero powered her way past
Chonnapas Premwaew of Thiland before defeating Singaporean Chen Peiqi
for
the Gold in the Feather weight division. Her victory shows that
the Philippine Taekwondo Contingent has a deep
pool of young world-class talents to tap from.
Silver linings.
Just missing the Gold were Alexander Briones who lost to Malaysian Wong
Kai Meng in the Welter weight category, Heavy weight Dindo Simpao
who lost to Nguyen Van Hung of Vietnam, and Kalindi Tamayo who lost to
Nootcharin Sukkhongdumnoen of Thailand in the Women's Bantam weight
division.
Rounding up the 14 medals won by the Philippine Taekwondo Team are Fin
weight Kitoy Cruz, Bantam weight Manuel Rivero Jr., Feather wieght
Jefferthom Go, Fin weight Eva Marie Ditan, Welter weight Sally Solis,
and Heavyweight Ann Margaret Boyle who all settled for the Bronze.

Laguna Scores Big at 2003 STRAA
(March, 2003) |
|
|
Laguna made its presence felt again
in Batangas City, March 28 - 29, 2003, venue for the 2003 Southern
Tagalog Regional Championships.
Once again, it was the dynamic duo of Eunice and Elaine
Alora that led Laguna in the "Golden Harvest". Joining
them in reaping the Gold were Layl matba, Chrzyl Pantua, Margaret
Noblesa, Alexis Nicole, Juan Bernardino, and Czarina cabuco.
Andrey Perez and a resurgent Edel Parducho

Laguna's Diego Navarro Gets Gold at
the 2003 U.S. Open (February, 2003) |
|
|
Diego Navarro kicked his way
to the top of the boys' 11 to 13 year-old Fin weight
division. It was an exciting day for Diego who fashioned out
convincing victories over oponents from Canada and the US before
meeting with Isaac Archuleta
of the USA in the Finals. It was touch and go from there, as
every time Diego would chalk up a point, his oponent would come right
back to even the score. After pulling ahead with less than a
minute to go in the last period, Diego played it smart by playing a
cat-and-mouse game in the last seconds to ensure the victory.
As for the rest of the Philippine team, Ana Dianelo
won a Gold in the Bantam weight class in the 11-13 yr-old
Female division; while Fin weight Rotrice Lavalan and Middle
weight Marsha Ecaranum each got a Bronze.
Likewise, in the 11-13 boys division, Gold medals
were won by Bantam weight Paolo Angeles and Heavy weight Kervin
Ong.

for the RP team, a Gold, in the Fin weight
category. In the Seniors Poomse (forms) competition, Karloff
Fontanosa won a Gold in the 3rd Dan Heavy weight
class. Ivy Alindogan won a Silver in the 2nd
Dan Middle weight, while Richard Cruz also won a silver
in the 2nd Dan Light weight class.

Diego Navarro Gets a Silver in
Korean Open (July,
2001) |
|
|
Diego Navarro fought his way to a
runner-up
finish in the 2001 Korean Open. He won his first match via
an
8-0 victory over a Korean opponent then earned his way to the next
round
thanks to a no-show by another korean. His third fight put
him
up against a higher-rated Filipino teammate. Diego,
however,
prevailed 3-2. In his finals match, Diego was unable to find
his range against a much taller and heavier opponent, finishing the day
with
a Silver medal.
Laguna teammates Terrence Boteja, Reymar
Aringo,
and Greg Perez fought well, but were unable to make it to the medal
rounds. Other contenders, namely the Alora siters, Eunice
and Elaine, and Grace Opinion were unable to join their teammates in
Korea.

Laguna Kid Settles for 5th in US Jr
Olympics (July
6, 2001) |
|
|
July 6, 2001, Tampa Convention
Center,
Tampa Bay, Florida, USA. Felix Cedillo was all fired up in
his
opening match. Against a taller opponent, he went full steam
ahead bombarding his rival with a series of bullet (double) kicks,
eventually winning the match 5-1. In his second fight, he
was ahead most
of the way, but a series of clean kicks to the head failed to get
points
from the scorers. With the score tied at 3-3 with seconds remaining,
Felix'
oponent scored a point, but it was clearly after the referee called a
Kalyo
(break). "That last point should've been nullified," commented a
fraustrated
coaching staff, "but those are just the breaks of the game," he
added. For
his efforts Felix was awarded a 5th place consolation medal.

March 24, 2001, Wyoming Indian High
School,
Ethete, Wyoming, U.S.A. Big things happen in this little
town
in Central Wyoming. With several 2A Basketball State
Championship
trophies on display, this High School located in the Indian Reservation
played
host to another memorable event - The 2001 Wyoming State Taekwondo
Chamionships.
Felix Cedillo wins Gold, Silver, and
Bronze
Medals..
Felix Cedillo earned a full set of medals
starting
the day with a 3rd place finish in the 11-13 year-old Jr. Black Belt
Poomse
(forms) competitions, earning him a Bronze medal. During
the
sparring sessions, Felix fashioned out a 5-2 victory over Cade Schacher
to
win the Gold medal in 11-13 year-old Flyweight
Division. Felix
capped the day with a Silver medal finish in a mixed division
exhibition
event. He first defeated Bantamweight Jonathan knight in a close 2-1
semi-finals
match. He barely missed another Gold losing a 4-4 tie in the
Finals
match. A crucial grabbing foul was called against Felix,
giving
him a half point deduction which virtually decided the outcome of the
match.
This tournament was a first of firsts in
many
ways. It was the first time for a State Championship to be
held
in an Indian Reservation, it was also the first time that the
Electronic
Scoring System was used in the State of Wyoming, simulating world
-class
competitions. It was also the first tournament where Felix
Valentin Cedillo would test his skills in his new home in the U.S.

LAGUNA Taekwondo Dominates STRAA (March
5, 2001) |
|
|
March 5, 2001, Sta. Cruz,
Laguna.
The Laguna Taekwondo team dominated the field earning 7 Golds, 4
Silvers
and 5 Bronzes in the STRAA 2001 to capture the overall team trophies in
both
the elementary and high school levels.
In the Elementary boys' division, Andre
Perez
continued his winning streak by winning a Gold, while Diego Navarro and
Jocel
each earned a Silver medal, while Layl Matba added a Bronze medal.
In the Elementary girls, it was Elaine
Alora
and Czarina Cabuco topping their respective levels, with Marjorie
Soriano
adding a Bronze.
In the high school Jr. Mens', Terrence
Boteja
and Greg Perez both earned Golds, while Monchito Bautista got a Silver,
with
Reymar Aringo and Jessie each adding a Bronze.
In the High School Jr. Womens', Eunice
Alora
likewise continued her winning ways to earn a Gold for the JR.
Women.
Marie Cabagay added another Gold, while Abba Caton and Carla each added
a
Bronze to the tally.
It was a sweet victory for the Laguna
squad,
as Laguna proved to be on top of the region. In 1998 when coach Danny
Guerrero
first coached the Laguna Taekwondo team, Laguna won 10 Golds, winning
the
team Gold in the Jr. Men's and Elementary Girls' levels, plus team
Silvers
for both the Jr. Women's and the Boys' divisions. This year, although
only
seven Golds were won, the point system allowed Laguna to win the team
trophies
in all levels (Jr. Men's, Jr. Womens, Boys', and Girls' divisions).

Cayton Gets Silver in US Open (March
1-3, 2001) |
|
|
Joseph Thomas Cayton wins a
silver.
Tropicana Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada,
U.S.A.
JT Cayton put up a gutsy fight but the points just didn't seem to
register. JT just missed the Gold, losing to his US
opponent, to settle for the
Silver in the 11 - 13 year-old Boys' Heavyweight Division. It was
a
close fight, as JT appeared to have the upper hand, however, the score
proved
otherwise. Earlier JT surprised a much taller and heavier
opponent,
en route to his Finals match.
In the Flyweight division, Felix Cedillo,
won
his first 2 matches, but lost a close quarterfinals match to a his
Mexican
opponent. Points in this tournament seemed hard to come by.
During
his first match, two clear kicks to his US opponent's head failed to
register
points, and Felix may have lost if not for a flurry of kicks in the
dying
seconds of the last round.
Philippine team earns its share of
medals
in the USA-dominated event
In the 11-13 year-old Juniors, EJ Anda
(Super
Fin weight) and Tonie Rivero (Middle weight) each won a Gold
medal for the Philippine Team. Nicole Gallegos (Fly
weight), Mark Yabyabin
(Bantam), JT Cayton (Heavy) and Khate (Super Fin) Got Silver
medals.
Meanwhile, while, Willot Wuthrich (Fin) and Joseph Gacoscos
(Bantam)
each salvaged a Bronze medal for the Philippines.
Medalists in the Juniors (14 -17
years-old)
were Lovely Lu (Gold -Female Fin), Lorraine Catalan (Bronze
-Female
Light), and Japoy Lizardo (Bronze, Male Fin). Dahleen Cordero won
a
Gold in the Senior Women's Fin weight division, while Edrick
Galing
won a Bronze in the Men's 3rd Dan Poomse competition.

Perez, Cayton Get 2 Golds For Laguna (January
25, 2001) |
|
|
Thursday, 25 Jan. 2001, Baker Memorial
Hall,
at the University of the Philippines Los Baños, Los
Baños,
Laguna, Philippines 2nd 2001 Batang Pinoy. Andre Perez and
J.T.
Cayton got 2 Golds for the Laguna Team. Czarina Cabuco,
Layl
Matba, and Marjorie Soriano got a Silver medal each, while Elaine Alora
and
Diego Navarro settled for the Bronze.
Andre Perez proved he was in top form as
he
easily hurdled all his opponents en route to the top spot in the Boys
4'6"-4'9"
category. J.T. Cayton likewise outclassed his opponents and
handily
wrested the championship in the 5'3"-5'6" category.
Layl Matba, lost to a shifty opponent in
the
4'3"- 4'6" Boys category, while Czarina Cabuco, couldn't find her range
in
the 5'0"- 5'3" Girls division, both settling for the Silver.
Meanwhile,
newcomer Marjorie Soriano put up an impressive performance, almost
stealing
the show. During the finals match of the below-4'0" category, she
was actually ahead of Issa Bonifacio of Batangas in the first round,
but ran out
of steam in the 2nd round, settling for the Silver.
Diego Navarro looked well headed for the
finals
with impressive victories, despite a suffering from a bloody lip in his
quarterfinal
match. However, the cut turned out to be deeper than anticipated,
forcing
him to withdraw from the tournament. His performance, however was
good for a bronze finish. Elaine Alora, couldn't get her rhythm
going, also
settling for a Bronze.
It was a tough day for Laguna, as accented
by
Felix Cedillo's defeat to a stocky opponent who looked well over 12
years
old. Despite this, Felix put up a good show, but both he and
coach
Danny Guerrero were distracted by the strict calls made by the
referees.
Felix' opponent's age was again questioned during his subsequent
matches,
but went on to capture the Gold medal. Newcomer Kelvin Reodica of
Sta.
Cruz also put up a good fight for Laguna but lost his second match of
the
under-4'0" category.
Laguna retains overall
Championship. The kids of Laguna retained the overall honors
in this prestigious
tournament, winning an avalanche of Golds from the swimming and cycling
teams. The Taekwondo gins added their fair share of 2 Golds, 3
Silvers, and 2 Bronzes
to the tally.

Laguna South Gym Gins Sparkle in the
National

2000) |
|
|
Sunday, November 12, 2000 at Ninoy
Aquino
Sports Arena, Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA) Central Gymnasium.
Kathleen Eunice and Kristine Elaine Alora, Czarina
Cabuco, Mary Grace Opinion, and Mario Diego Navarro each
won a Gold in the National Best of the Best Championships. Layl
Matba and Micah Ramos got Silver medals while Andre Perez and Mark
Ramos settled for the Bronze.
Eunice Alora continued her string of
Golds,
as she overpowered all her opponents in the Jr. Women's Flyweight
division.
There was some apprehension when one of her opponents, a Gold medallist
in
the Palarong Pambansa, came out strong in the second
period.
This, however, was not enough to deny her the Gold.
With her older sister moving up to the
Juniors,
Elaine proved too tough for the rest of the field in the Girls' 4'9" to
5'0"
division, while Czarina Cabuco defeated a much taller player in the
Finals
of the Girls 5'0" to 5'3" category.
Diego Navarro capped a breathtaking
come-from-behind
victory to win top honors in the 4'3" - 4'6" Boys' division. Down
3-1
in the first period, Diego came back strong in the second round to
close
the gap 5-4, then overpowered his opponent in the third period en route
to the Gold. In the Seniors Division, Grace Opinion also finished
with a Gold in the Women's.
Layl Matba was looking good coming into
the
Finals, but was unable to hit his mark in the 2nd and 3rd periods while
Micah
Ramos, still having trouble adjusting to bigger and heavier opponents,
lost
in her Finals match. Both fighters settled for the Silver
medal. Meanwhile, Mark Ramos and Andre Perez each salvaged a
Bronze medal for Laguna
South.
