Nagsinamo National High School Shines in Multiple Events at Palarong Quezon 2025
Athletes from Nagsinamo National High School, representing the proud Municipality of Lucban, stepped into the arenas of Palarong Quezon 2025 carrying heart, determination, and the unwavering support of their community. Though the journey did not always end in victory, their performances became moments of prideโproof that true success is measured not only by medals, but by courage, effort, and resilience.
In Taekwondo Kyurogi/Sparring, Grade 9 athletes Jamyla Irish H. Mendoza and Kathryn M. Acleta fought with admirable spirit. Mendoza, competing in Category 3, showcased sharp technique and composure, while Acleta, in Category 4, stepped confidently into her matches despite tough odds. Both faced strong opponents, yet they held their groundโwalking away not defeated, but strengthened, earning praise for their bravery and discipline.
At the billiards tables, Kylie Nicalette C. Laguerta (Grade 10โLove) and Ralph Dave N. Racoma (Grade 12โPerseverance) demonstrated poise under pressure in the 9-ball and 8-ball events. They delivered smart plays, calculated shots, and moments of brilliance that left lasting impressions. While they fell short of podium finishes, their efforts reflected maturity, sportsmanship, and quiet determinationโqualities that make champions beyond the scoreboard.
On the track and field, the athletic team of Nagsinamo NHS poured out everything they had. Ayesha Asiao (Grade 9โCharity) pushed through fatigue to complete her races in the 800m and 400m, finishing with pride and steady resolve. Charice Abuel (Grade 10โLove) battled the grueling 3,000m run, proving her endurance and heart even as the race tested her limits. In the field events, Reian Kate Mirasol (Grade 8โCourage) took on shot put, giving her best throw with confidence, while Andrei Cardel (Grade 10โLove) showed grit as he competed in both shot put and javelin, earning the respect of spectators and fellow athletes.
Though the competition brought challenges and close matches, the students of Nagsinamo National High School did not return home empty-handed. They returned with experience, self-growth, pride, and the honor of representing Lucban on the provincial stage. Their Palarong Quezon 2025 journey stands as a reminder that even without medals, the courage to compete and the willingness to fight on is already a victory worth celebrating.
For Nagsinamo NHS, every stride, every strike, and every shot was a win for the whole communityโbecause pride is not defined by the outcome, but by the heart shown along the way.
