As President of Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas (formerly Philippine Weightliftng Association), for the last fifteen years, knowing our national athletes, including our Golden Girl Hidilyn Diaz, has been one of the most cherished blessings in my sports life.

They come and go but their memories shall remain with me for the rest of my life. My pet project when I was still Commissioner of the Philippine Sports Commission, Batang Pinoy, was the stepping stone for these young boys and girls. Now, they're all going international with dreams to qualify for the next Paris Olympics.
