off to the Ninja World Cup

The Pilipinas Obstacle Sports Federation on Monday, July 17, held its sendoff for the athletes it selected to participate in the Ninja World Cup USA qualifiers.

To help determine its selection, the POSF held qualifiers at Arcovia City in the past couple of days, with these eight athletes making the cut: Mark Julius Rodelas, Kevin Pascua, Jay-R de Castro, and Ahgie Rodan for the men, and Precious Cabuya, Kaizen dela Serna, Milky Mae Tejares, and Mecca Cortizano for the women.

The eight will be participating in the Ninja World Cup USA, a competition that brings together the best obstacle course athletes from all over the world. Outstanding participants in this field could potentially become the next Ninja Warrior.

Arcovia City has served as the main outdoor training ground for the POSF, hosting the equipment that made its athletes ready to tackle what lies ahead.

General Manager Kux Quiogue shares, "This event not only highlights the exceptional talent within our country but also serves as an avenue for athletes to represent the Philippines on the international stage, and we are happy to have been a part of it as their training grounds for the competition."

The POSF expressed its appreciation for Megaworld Lifestyle Malls in serving as the host facility for competitions and training. The NSA's head, Atty. Al Agra says, "We are extremely thankful for the support that Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, through Arcovia City, have extended towards us and our athletes as they prepared for arguably the biggest competition they will be a part of."

All eight were part of the selection that participated in the past Southeast Asian Games, who were also honored during the press conference, including Mervin Guarte, Elias Tabac, Sandi Abahan, and Marites Nocyao.

In addition, POST revealed that six youth standouts made the cut to represent the country in the different age groups for the competition: John Edris Dixon, Trisha del Rosario, Gianna Quintela, Gavin Ti, Zara Chua, and Danielle Aro.
