00:00 World's number two Paul Wolter and Asian Games gold medalist EJ Obiena were given a warm welcome by his high school alma mater, Chiang Kai-Shek College.
00:12 JP Soriano was there.
00:14 Our official games gold medalist, our alumnus, let us all welcome, Ernest "Jon" Obiena!
00:27 Homecoming fit for a hero was welcomed by Chiang Kai-Shek College to World's number two Paul Wolter and Asian Games gold medalist EJ Obiena.
00:37 Aside from those, EJ's high school alma mater is proud because he will compete in his biggest championship in 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:47 Nothing is certain. I'm going to keep knocking on the door. I don't go into competitions to take silver. That's how I am. That's how I compete.
00:55 EJ also remembers those who run in his mind while our national anthem is playing when he was awarded the Asian Games gold medal.
01:05 Trying to live that moment and feel like and understand what it took for me to be here.
01:10 What are the struggles to accomplish the things that I've said last year, be able to keep my word.
01:15 In the middle of the official pictorial and shoot for his homecoming, he still encouraged his students and became his teacher who wanted to take a selfie.
01:26 He remembered his student life in Chiang Kai-Shek.
01:30 I used to commute from our Papa Station, ride the jeep. It kind of brings back a nostalgic memory.
01:36 Before EJ, there was no Paul Wolter. EJ was the one who gave interest.
01:41 That's why the World Class Track and Field and Paul Volting Facility is now being built.
01:47 Other future national athletes can also use it.
01:51 The Board Members and Alumni Association of Chiang Kai-Shek also contributed for the 10 million pesos financial assistance for EJ's preparation for the next Olympics.
02:03 I felt like I failed the Filipino people in 2021. I decided I'm going to go another four-year cycle.
02:09 The commitment that I have, the promise that I have to the Filipino people is until 2024.
02:15 Before that, he was trained in different facilities in Europe and fought in several international Paul Volting competitions.
02:24 For GMA Integrated News, JP Soriano, 24 Hours.
