Sipa Tungo sa Pangarap!

Sa lumipas na mga henerasyon ay hindi pa rin natin malilimutan ang kahusayan ng bawat manlalaro
ng Liloan sa taekwondo, ang bagsik, lakas at husay sa pakikipaglaban na tila ba'y mga sundalong
handang sumabak sa kahit anong labanan. Ngayon kahit pa lahat sila'y bagong balang tatama para sa
pangarap ng isang atletang mag-aaral, pagpupugay pa rin ang sa kanila'y nakamit.

Panaon Area Athletics Association o mas kilala sa tawag na PAAA sa rehiyong Southern Leyte ng IAD
3 ay ginanap sa Liloan National Technical- Vocational High School (LNTVHS) noong Huwebes (February 9,
2023) at natapos sa Biyernes (February 10, 2023). Maraming manlalaro at kalahok ang dumayo para sa
kani-kanilang laro na sasalihan. Ngunit isa sa mga masigasig na laro at ginagamitan ng man to man
combat ay ang taekwondo na nagbigay muli ng mga titulo para sa distrito ng Liloan, na s'yang binigyang-
pugay ng lahat.

Pinangunahan ni Justine Llemit ang pagka panalo para sa kanilang kuponan sa fin weight na
kategorya, sinundan naman ng iba pang mga kalahok mula sa kanilang kuponan na sina Joanna B.
Regidor, Ghian Carlo D. Estandarte, Jhunnel T. Mondala, Lea Jane C. Trigo, Junry L. Ursal, Raiza V.
Cabeling, Jamaica Chandra Dipay, Carlos Cabales, Clarrise P. Baay, Princess Dianne L. Mengulo. Ngunit
kabiguan ang inabot sa panghuling laban ni Nico John Olazo sa kadahilanang sa pagkaubos ng hangin at
enerhiya. Samantala, lamang naman si Ursal sa kanyang kalaban dahil mas bihasa at puno ito ng
enerhiya na ginagamitan ng mga tiknik lalong lalo na ang back kick, at turning long na s'yang
nakapagbigay ng malaking puntos at naging dahilan para magwithdraw ang kalaban sa kalagitnaan ng
laro, gayundin ang ibang kalaban ng distrito sa Liloan. Silang lahat ay inaasahang makikipagtagisan sa
paparating na Provincial Meet.
 Sa pagsabak ng larong ito ay dapat buong buo at handang handa ang iyong kalooban, pati na rin ang
iyong katawan at kaisipan .Kailangang maging determinado sa bawat laban mapa-lokal man o
propesyonal na liga. 'Wag din kakalimutan ang pinakamabisang sandata sa pakikipaglaban ang pagdasal
at paghingi ng gabay sa panginoon sa lahat ng labang haharapin.
