Baguio and Cordillera athletes have accounted for five golds, 10 silvers, and seven bronze medals as of Friday in the Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Teener Islay Erika Bomogao joined Richien Yosorez to top the wai kru mai muay even as Kurt Barbosa ruled his division in taekwondo kyurugi.
In taekwondo poomsae, former two-time world champion Jeordan Dominguez and Kobe Macario helped the Philippine poomsae mixed freestyle team to gold.
Minalyn Foy-os added a silver on Thursday in women’s freestyle (judo). Jenelyn Olsim, meanwhile, took the bronze medal in the Vietnamese national sport, vovinam. In Boxing, University of Baguio students Josie Gabuco failed to defend her title when she lost in the semifinals.
Gabuco fell to Chutmahat Raksat of Thailand in the 48 kg division. Olympics bronze medalist Eumir Marcial is already assured of the silver medal in the 75-kilogram division.
Marcial made mincemeat of Thai Peerapat Yeasungnoen whose corner threw the towel to stop the beating midway in the second round.
He will take on Delio Anzaqeci Raksat of Timor Leste on Sunday for the gold. Olympics silver medalist Nesthy Petecio and fellow Olympian Irish Magno are seeking a finals seat and were scheduled for Friday night.
The pair of Steph Sabalo and Michael Angelo Marquez took the gold in single Latin cha cha cha while settling for the bronze medals in jive and SCRPJ.
