A Call for Reconsideration

Editorial

Navio Prevails in Davao

Despite the rain and shine environment, Eros Satchi Navio clinched a clean

fourth spot finish in the Junior Elite Category of the Go-For-Gold Sunrise Sprint Triathlon held at Davao City last July 7, 2019.

“Nagiging fit and healthy ka, you meet a lot of friends, you learn how to push yourself when you’re about to give up, when it hurts, you develop your char-acter and mental strength,” Navio exclaimed after the win.

Navio started strong in the first leg, showing the true essence of courage in the bike round, and suc-cessfully accomplished the course in full valor.

The second run leg, took the downfall, and slowed him down, yet the audacity that he displayed took over and navigated the veter-an to a mighty fourth place finish.

“Racing last week in Davao was a great experience again and I have learned lot of lesson again in sports and in life,” said Navio.

Navio originated in Guinobatan, and nurtured his skills early since the age of ten.

“Being involved in sports is a great stress reliever also after a

long day at school” he quoted, “All of this wouldn’t be possible without the support of my class-mates, teachers, friends and most of all The One Above!”

After the race, the Grade 11 stu-dent, immediately took a home trip back to Albay, for continuous classes afterwards, and is look-ing forward for more sports and school inclined endeavors and events in future times.
