Team San Juan, represented by one of The Pioneer's very own cartoonists sealed the 3rd runner up position in the Junior Male Category during the "Grand Master Ernesto Presas Arnis Cup” held at San Juan Gym on August 28, 2016.


The 1st runner up for the event was Iloilo City who gave an outstanding performance above all competing teams while the 2nd runner up position went to Pasig City who displayed great skills as well.


Likewise, the team from San Juan showed valor and skilled performance as they competed against the other teams.


Represented by Joshua Aljohn Punzalan, a Grade 10 student of San Juan National High School, Team San Juan was able to secure the 3rd runner-up position.


When asked about his inspiration in persevering to do good in this sport he replied, "I do this for self-defense and for spreading our national sport which is arnis.”


Also, when asked if he still has fears in his chosen sport, Punzalan who is also a skilled artist said he does get scared when he is paired with his seniors as a sparring partner.


This accomplishment helped Team San Juan to grab the 2nd Runner-up position over-all while Tarlac City and Quezon City bagged the 1st and 3rd Runners-up respectively.
