Baguio swimmer
bags 7 golds in Batang Pinoy

Fifteen-year-old Lorenzo Jenkins Labao of Baguio City caught two more gold medals from the pool yesterday to become the most bemedalled athlete in the meet with seven titles in the Batang Pinoy national finals at Panaad Park and Stadium here.

The shy, soft-spoken Labao surprised everyone even himself after his masterful sweep of his events considering that Baguio City wasn't known as a swimming superpower because of its cold climate.

"Because it's too cold in Baguio, only a few of us really excelled because only a few us showed hardwork and determination to continue training in cold waters," said the third year high from University of Baguio Preparatory School.

Bacolod City set to receive
sports equipment from PSC

The Philippine Sports Commission is set to donate various sports equipment to Bacolod City, with chairman Ricardo Garcia and Mayor Monico Puentevella expected to sign a Deed of Donation between the two parties, a press release from City Hall said.

Garcia said the PSC will donate basketball boards and a boxing ring to the city and the contract is being reviewed by the City Legal Office.

City legal officer Sarah Villamor said her office poses no objection to such a contract, although she recommends that authority to enter into and sign the documents must be secured first by Puentevella from the Sangguniang Panlungsod, the press release said.
