00:00 Fencing, an Intra Club team competition held this Saturday.
00:04 The fencing club Eskrima, under the supervision of a former national team member and fencing veteran,
00:11 Coach Beverly Santos Alarcon.
00:13 The complete details in the words of Daryl Oclares.
00:16 The young fencers of Eskrima Fencing Club,
00:23 in an Intra Club competition held this Saturday at the Festival Mall Alabang.
00:29 The team saver event is divided into three categories,
00:32 which includes under 11 years old, under 14 years old and mixed team saver.
00:37 First for the under 11 years old, Valerie Reyes, Addy Peñalosa and Tiago Quinday,
00:42 after they split in their finals match 36 to 34.
00:46 I feel great because it's my first gold medal.
00:50 I feel good because it's my first competition and first gold medal.
00:55 I'm happy because this is my first day and I like it.
00:59 This is also how the group of Jacob Alarcon, Sofia Reyes and Keith Lopez,
01:06 who also competed in the team saver under 14 years old, finished in the score of 45 to 42.
01:12 I actually feel grateful since this is my first competition in fencing and I already got the gold.
01:18 And thanks to my teammates for that.
01:20 I'm not that nervous because this is where I train mainly.
01:24 And my opponents are my classmates.
01:26 You already know your enemies so you're not nervous.
01:32 I feel really accomplished and not really pressured.
01:38 But I feel really happy that I got to win the gold medal with my teammates.
01:44 And it was also like a fun learning experience.
01:46 Aside from the under 14 years old, Alarcon and Reyes also finished first in the mixed team saver event
01:53 with Jholan Villapando.
01:55 In the PTE Sports, the former national team fencer who is now a coach,
02:00 Beverly Santos Alarcon,
02:02 she was amazed by the skill of the young fencers of Eskrima.
02:06 This event is really fun and I'm happy because there are new potentials and athletes.
02:16 Like the young ones, Tiago, I was surprised by him because this is his first competition
02:22 and in training, I didn't see him that fast in our practices.
02:30 But in the competition, he suddenly showed his speed and strength.
02:36 So it's really fun to see the young ones showing their potential.
02:41 And I'm happy because we discovered new talents and athletes.
02:49 Meanwhile, Santos Alarcon invited other young fencers to try fencing.
02:57 I want to invite all the young fencers, not only the young ones, but also my seniors,
03:04 to try fencing because Filipinos have talent in it.
03:09 We can prove it in the SEA Games and other international competitions.
03:15 So, you can be the next gold medalist for the Filipinos.
03:21 Competitions like this will serve as a pathway for the next generation of Filipino fencers
03:28 who will surely give glory to our country.
