MANILA City ― Marc Angelo Cabiluna, the wonder boy from Villanueva town, is poised to repeat his stunning performance last year in Vigan City in the ongoing Batang Pinoy National Championships 2023 here.
The 16-year-old Cabiluna, now growing by three inches at five-foot-five tall, delivered the first gold for Misamis Oriental province by topping the long jump event on Tuesday morning.
In doing so, Cabiluna even broke his 6.54 record in Vigan City when he leaped the bar forward to a distance of 6.62 over at the track oval in Pasig Ultra, outperforming Kenn Clavero Lucero from the province of Puerto Princesa and Sam Kenjie Bantillo from the province of Iloilo who took the silver and bronze with 6.58 and 6.52 meters, respectively.
With his mother/coach Cherry, 53 always inspiring the sideways, the senior high student of Villanueva National High School guns for a second gold in the triple jump challenge in a bid to duplicate his double-gold finish last year at the Quirino Stadium in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.
“Grabe among sakripisyo dire baklay taman sa ginhawa kay layo among quarter (Rizal High School) sa venue in Pasig Ultra unya gamay ra among dala nga kwarta kay dose (12) mi tanan sa MisOr athletics team,” coach Cherry told Gold Star Daily.
“Fighter kugi gyod si Gelo nga bata kay mga banggi-itan sa Palarong Pambansa ug produkto sa Sports Academy iyang gipangpeldi sa Batang Pinoy long jump event,” she added.
