Report for ASEAN School Games 2014

15th December 2014

Office of Commissioner Gomez

The Philippines finished with fourth place at the ASEAN School Games behind Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. The Philippines garnered 11 Golds, 14 Silvers and 22 Bronzes a total of 47 medals its best ever finish since the ASEAN School Games revival in 2010.

The Philippines was coming second to last leading into the last day of competition however Women’s Basketball and SEA Games Champion Princess Superal bumped the Philippines up ahead of Vietnam and Singapore with last minute gold efforts.

The Philippines has finished second to last or last the last three editions so this was its best ever performance. However DEPED Regional Director Ms. Alameda pointed out that as the host the Philippines a country with the same population as Thailand and Malaysia should have won a lot more Thailand won 41 Gold’s and Malaysia 35 gold’s.

Ms. Alameda pointed out she looked forward to having talks and more cooperation with the POC, PSC, NSAs, UAAP board and others on ways to improve the overall medal standing of the games and was open to ideas and suggestions.

This meet was for athletes born in 1996 and under represented by eight member nations of the South East Asian Federation. All countries competed here except Cambodia, Myanmar and Timor Leste.

Athletics

While Athletics did not get its anticipated six gold medal haul it did exceed its total medal count of 19, with 21 medals in total. 2 Golds, 9 Silvers and 10 Bronzes.

The Golds came from Palaro Record Holder and PNG Junior Champion in Javelin Bryan Pachecho (FEU) who won the 5kg shot put in 16.69m. Pachecho was side lined from his primary Javelin event due to elbow issues. Pachecho became the first athlete to win a gold medal since the revival of the ASEAN School Games in 2010.

The second Gold came from the #2 Junior Javelin Thrower in the country Joshua Patulud (DLSU-Zobel) who was second behind Pachecho at Palaro and PNG Junior division. Despite a makeshift run way which actually just a strip of track laid down and not held in place Patulud won the Javelin with 59.45m with 700 grams well below his PB of 61.47m at the National Games.

The heaviest bag of medals went to one of the teams youngest athletes Batang Pinoy discovery Karen Janario (Leyte Sports Academy) who came agonizingly close to taking the 100 Hurdle title just out dipped by a centimeter by a Malaysian athlete 14.51 to 14.52, both times were below the old meet record of 14.85. Janario time however broke the National Junior Record of July Rose Forbes (UE) set 2002 at the Asian Grand Prix in Manila of 14.61.

Janario came back less than an hour later to take the silver in the 200m in a personal best of 25.23, and secured two bronzes in the 4x100 and 4x400 relay team.

Francis Medina (UPH) won silver in the 110 Hurdles timing 14.52 which broke the junior record with 99cm Hurdles of Patrick Unso 14.3 ht at the Bacolod PNG in 2011. Medina added a bronze in the 400 Hurdles.

While the Philippines had a good overall medal count it fell short of the forecasted six, despite winning nine silvers instead of seven. The four lost medals were not the ones that went to silver medalists. Due to the UAAP scheduling the meet close to the ASEAN School Games two gold’s were lost here. The Mens 5000 was won in a slow 16.24 by Malaysia. Both Philip Jon Gongob (FEU) and Kevin Capangpangan (UST) had ran 15.41 and 15.45 during the Weekly Relays. However FEU did not allow Gongob to play and Capangpangan were restricted to just the 1500m event where he delivered a silver medal being ran down in the dying stages of the race by the Vietnamese runner. Capangpangan went onto run 16.11.21 at UAAP while Gongob could only manage 16.44.10 a few days after the UAAP finished.

The girls High Jump was won in 1.58m. Yorac (UP) and Ligmayo (FEU) had bests of 1.63m. However Ligmayo was not allowed to participate and Yorac was not selected. However Yorac and Ligmayo only managed 1.55m and finished behind Dequinan who was entered at ASEAN Schools and also cleared 1.55m on both occasions.

The two other possible gold medals were lost by 15 year old Jieann Calis of Northern Mindanao. Calis times of 4.44.2 and 10.26.3 at Palaro would have won gold’s in both events the winning times were 4.44.9 and 10.36.8.

Badminton

Badminton delivered a silver and a bronze. The Girls Double U19 team of Alyssa Leonardo and Thea Pomar took the silver medal. Leonardo teamed up with Alvin Morada to take a bronze in the Mixed Double U19 team.

Basketball

The Philippines secured both the men’s and the women’s ASEAN School Games titles in Basketball, while the Philippines is overwhelming favorites at SEA senior level.

Golf

Spear headed by SEA Games Double gold medalist Princess Superal of Baguio. Golf came to save the day for the Philippine School Team in Marikina.

Superal repeated her SEA medal feat with gold’s in the Individual and the Team event. In fact it was a clean sweep of the podium for the Philippines in girls Golf with Superal winning with 280 points, Pauline Del Rosario second with 283 points and Yuka Saso 283 points with bronze.

She teamed with these two girls and the weaker link in the team Sophia Chabon (305 points in indiv game 10th overall) to win with 844 points, over Thailand 889 points, and Indonesia 895 points.

Claire Legaspi the 2013 Asian Youth Champion was not available for this meet despite being the correct age and studying in the Philippines as according to the golf team manager she has already gone professional.

The Boys team did not do too badly also with Aidric Chan, Gabriel Manotoc, Kristoffer Arevalo, Wei Wei Gao, and Wei Yu Gao getting the bronze with a score of 1163 behind Thailand (1104) and Malaysia (1124).

Gymnastics

Things continued to look good for grass roots gymnastics following on from Ava Verdaflor qualifying for the world youth Olympic Games earlier in the year. The individual medals were all delivered by Carlos Yulo who won two golds in the floor-artistic and parallel bars. Two silvers in the Artistic all round individual and Artistic Vault.

The Men’s Team took the bronze medal.

Sepak Takraw

Sepak Takraw earnt a bronze in the mens team event tying with Indonesia.

Swimming

Swimming was not able to deliver any medals at all.

It was anticipated they had two eligible medal potential athletes. Ariana Herranz of Ateneo De Manila was sent to the World Short Course champs in Dubai instead. Herranz had best times of 1.05.77 100 Back and 2.26.48 200 Back which forecast before the meet were good enough for silver and bronze. The 100 Backstroke was won in 1.05.66 meaning she could have secured a silver here, her 200 Back would have only placed her fourth had she been entered.

The other potential medalist UAAP athlete Anna Dominiq Bartolome was not entered here, although here best time of 1.07.08 would have secured her only fourth place. The Philippines entry Nicole Pamintuan ended up sixth in this event in 1.11.73.

The best performance came from Jose Marie Arcilla broke the 14-15 Boys Philippine age grade record clocking 2.14.46 in the 200 Individual Medleys which saw him fourth in the final with third being well ahead in 2.11.84.

Table Tennis

Table Tennis just had one medal but it was a gold, the girls double team of Emy Rose Dael and Angelia Borbon.

Tennis

Five Bronze medals came from Tennis. Erica Mae Manduriao in Girls Singles, The girls double team of Khyshana Athena Hitosis & Alexei Xira Santos. The third bronze came in the mixed doubles with Chrislyn Coleen Sioson teaming up with Noel Damian Jr. And the fourth from the Boys team of Dave Sebastian Mosqueda, Noel Damian Jr., Jeleardo Amazona, Andre Rodriguez, Ralp Julianne, Elijah S. Arevalo, and Vince Ramiscal. The fifth medal came from the Girls team of Erica Manduriao, Hitosis, Santos, Rosvel Binondo, Shaira Rivera, Janelle Llavore, Chrislyn Sioson, and Ongrid Gonzales.

Wushu

Priority Sport Wushu, delivered the most gold medals for the Philippine team with three.

Asian Junior Champion Agatha Chrystenzen Wong won the girls Tajiquan and Tajijian all-round Group A.

Alieson Ken Omengan won the girls Nanquan and Nangun all-round Group A.

Joel Casem won the Chang Quan and long weapon all-round Group A.

Dave Degala took silver in the Chang Quan and Long weapon all-round Group B.

This is very promising for Wushu as well as having very good older athletes they have very good younger athletes coming through at Under 18 level.

Volleyball

The Philippines was not able to finish with a medal in both Boys and Girls. Both Girls and Boys were able to beat Singapore. But lost games against the top three medalists; Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia in Boys and Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia in the Girls

In Summary

DEPED Regional Director Ms. Alameda summed it up very well in the closing meeting. We have done well to get fourth it’s our best ever finish but as we were the hosts with a population the same size as Thailand we should not be so far behind.

Looking at ways to improve the medal standing involved the following action plans

• Coordinating with the UAAP Board and other similar associations to ensure there is no clash between competition dates which would make athletes unavailable.

• Cooperation with LGU to develop a carding system (e.g. Boys Long Jump 7.00m at 16, 7.15m at 17, 7.30m at 18, 7.45m at 19 and then 7.60 by 20 SEA Bronze is 7.53) to identify and support young talent beyond the resources that are currently available for grass roots athletics. Funding via LGU support diverted to athletes based on performance who will develop into SEA Games medalists by the time they hit 20.

• Better coordination between team coaches and coaches of the athletes to allow continuation of successful programs for the athletes. E.g. the athletes in athletics were only given three days a week (every second day) to train the rest of the time they mainly slept and ate.

The food and accommodation provided for the athletes was excellent as they stayed in a nice hotel and had a wide variety of food a lot of it quite healthy and filling. A shuttle service (bus) took the athletes

from Ortigas hotel to the stadium in Marikina. Athletes that won medals received incentives from the DEPED.

While the original venue was going to be at Ultra, the City of Marikina worked extra hard to try to make the Rodriguez Track more competition ready for the meet. Obstacles were cleared and two extra lanes were painted on the outside of the oval. Although there the two D Sections were not ready the planting box and pole vault pit were transported, and throwing areas created as well as a makeshift run way mentioned before for the javelin.

All in all a lot can be learnt from the hosting of this event and I’m certain with the right strategies in place the Philippines will improve its medal tally next year in Brunei.
