Laoag City, Ilocos Norte — Palarong Pambansa 2025

The momentum continues for Region VIII’s Arnis Team as the dynamic trio of Lawrence Cemine, Sam Jordan Rodriguez, and Fritz Andreh Nohrel Gerasta clinched the bronze medal in the Synchronized Solo Baston event, marking a significant milestone for Eastern Visayas in the synchronized category.

With precise coordination, unity of movement, and strong martial rhythm, the three arnisadors impressed judges with their flawless routine. The recession of movement — a crucial technical aspect of their performance — was executed with grace and intensity, showing both mastery and discipline.

This podium finish is a breakthrough moment for Region VIII, as it marks one of the few times the region has medaled in synchronized Arnis at the national level.

Congratulations to Cemine, Rodriguez, and Gerasta for their unwavering dedication, and to Coach John Lamanilao for his strategic guidance and training leadership.

More victories ahead, Region VIII!
Keep the fire burning. Pugay!
