Colegio de Santo Niño de Jasaan proudly announces its participation in the Triangular/PRISAA 2025-2026. Our athletes are ready to showcase their skills and sportsmanship as they compete tomorrow, September 20, 2025, at the Jasaan Shell Covered Court.

Let us all extend our full support to our players as they carry the banner of CSNJ with pride and determination.

FORTES IN DOMINO! ✨❤️

Since its founding in 1972, Colegio de Santo Niño de Jasaan has envisioned fostering humane education. This means nurturing empathy, compassion, and respect for human dignity. This serves as a pathway to social transformation and stronger communities.

This aligns with the World Health Organization’s World Su***de Prevention Day, bearing the theme “Changing the Narrative on Su***de”. This theme urges societies to break harmful stereotypes, reduce stigma, and encourage open dialogue (WHO, 2024).

As Santo Ninians, we are called to embody kindness and social responsibility, promote equitable access to mental health care, and build inclusive, supportive spaces where no one struggles alone. Together, through compassion and collective action, we can choose hope and create a culture that values every life.

𝑪𝑺𝑵𝑱 𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒕 40𝒕𝒉 𝑲𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒏 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅𝒐 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑

Students from 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙤 𝙙𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙉𝙞𝙣̃𝙤 𝙙𝙚 𝙅𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙖𝙣 (CSNJ) proudly represented the school in the 40𝒕𝒉 𝑲𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒏 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅𝒐 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 held on 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 2, 2025, at 𝗦𝗠 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗼, showcasing strength, discipline, and sportsmanship in one of the region’s most prestigious martial arts events.

A total of three students from CSNJ participated in the tournament—who are also siblings: Kent Andrew Steve Q. Gatab, a Grade 10 student; Krizziah Ann Shane Q. Gatab, a Grade 7 student; and Khie Arriane Stefanny Q. Gatab, a Grade 2 student. They competed against various schools across the Davao Region, with each bout reflecting their dedication and respect for the art of Karatedo. Their remarkable bond as siblings was evident in every match, encouraging one another between rounds and drawing attention from spectators and judges alike.

Krizziah earned a 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹, displaying strong technique and determination throughout her matches. The youngest, Khie, delivered an outstanding performance and secured a 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹, earning praise from coaches and spectators.

“I was really happy because during the final match for the gold, time was almost up and my score was still zero while my opponent already had three points. Thankfully, I was able to catch up just in time. Despite how tired I was, I still managed to win the gold medal,” Khie shared.

Meanwhile, Kent, the eldest, reflected on his performance:

“In my second game, no matter how hard I tried, I was already out of breath. I felt really exhausted, and that’s why I wasn’t able to win the match.”

Although Kent did not place, their presence and unwavering support for one another throughout the event spoke volumes of their bond and sportsmanship.

Their mother stood proudly among the crowd, serving as their biggest supporter during the one-day tournament. She watched each of their fights with emotion and pride, capturing memorable moments and cheering from the sidelines.

“We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Colegio de Santo Niño de Jasaan for the unwavering support and trust in allowing our kids to represent the school in the 40th Kadayawan Interschool Karatedo Championship. It is truly an honor for them to carry the name of CSNJ with pride,” said Mrs. Gatab in a Facebook post.

Guided by their coach, Sensei Aldrin E. Gentio, the students trained for months, balancing academic responsibilities with daily practice. Their hard work, paired with the strong moral support of their family, allowed them to compete with heart and confidence in one of the most respected martial arts events in the region.

The participation of the three siblings in the 40th Kadayawan Interschool Karatedo Championship not only brought pride to CSNJ but also highlighted the values of perseverance, unity, and discipline. Their journey—marked by victories, challenges, and a powerful family bond—serves as an inspiration to the CSNJ community, proving that with dedication and heart, greatness can be achieved both on and off the mat.
