Three Eastbridge athletes competed at the NAPSPHIL (National Association of Private Schools in the Philippines) sports competition, held at [[VENUE]] on [[DATE]], and every one of them reached the podium.
Getting there took three steps. Each athlete first had to win at the town level in Rodriguez, then win again at the provincial level, where champions from 13 towns across Rizal competed. Only provincial winners represent the Province of Rizal at NAPSPHIL.
The results
Taekwondo
- 🥈 Ronin Andrew M. Resultay (Grade 7) — Kyorugi (Sparring), Junior Level
- 🥉 Paul Francis E. Rey (Grade 6) — Kyorugi (Sparring), Cadet Level
Swimming
- 🥉 Francis Deandrei Lucas Zipagan (Grade 6) — 50m Breaststroke
Three wins to earn one race
A medal at NAPSPHIL is really the third win in a row. Before Ronin, Paul, and Francis could compete for the country's private schools, each of them had to win in Rodriguez, then win again among champions from 13 Rizal towns. All three cleared every stage, and all three still found a place on the national podium.
More than a medal
At Eastbridge we believe every child carries God-given gifts, and not all of them show up on a report card. For some children, the gift is in the pool or on the mat. Our sports clubs give those gifts room to grow, with steady training every week, coaches who know each athlete, and a school that cheers as loudly for a swimmer as for a quiz bee champion.
Just as important is what these athletes learn along the way: showing up for training, respecting opponents, losing without quitting, and winning without boasting. That is the kind of character we want our children to carry long after the medals are put away.
Our heartfelt thanks to our coaches, [[TAEKWONDO COACH, CLUB]] for taekwondo and [[SWIMMING COACH]] for swimming, and to the parents who drove, waited, and cheered at every stage. Congratulations, Ronin, Paul, and Francis! To God be the glory!
Every child has gifts worth discovering.
