Rising Track Stars Samantha Martinez and Dale Jayne Tagalog Deliver 1-2 Finish at Kadayawan! ⚡🏃‍♀️

National U18 silver medalist Samantha Martinez (15) powered to victory in 12.33s representing the Province of Davao Del Norte, followed closely by Palaro bronze medalist Dale Jayne Tagalog (14) in 12.85s for Pinoy Athletics. Both elite sprinters are signed with Pinoy Athletics, setting up an exciting future for Philippine track and field.

A massive thank you to the Province of Davao Del Norte, led by Governor Hon. Edwin I. Jubahib, for their unwavering dedication to youth sports development. Through their support and the world-class training ground at the Davao Del Norte Sports Academy in Tagum, student-athletes like Samantha are given the platform, resources, and backing needed to excel at the highest level.

Huge gratitude as well to Mega Sardines for their continuous sponsorship and commitment to empowering young Filipino athletes. Their vital support fueled Samantha’s stellar campaign at the National Open, where she captured gold in both the 4x100m and 4x400m relays alongside an individual U18 100m silver medal. Aswell as funding Dale Jayne Tagalog trip from Misamis to Davao Kadawayan.

🔥 Next Up: The duo will go head-to-head for their respective LGUs—with Tagalog representing Misamis Oriental—in the 100m and 200m sprint double at Batang Pinoy.

With Batang Pinoy, Palarong Pambansa, and the National Open U18 packed into the next six months, expect fireworks from these two rising stars! 💥

Thats Anfernee 'Warm Bodies' Lopena!

10,000 pesos a month. That is what some Philippine national athletes were paid until last year.

In July 2025 the new chair of the Philippine Sports Commission said it out loud. So many athletes still get 10,000 per month. He called that below the minimum wage and asked how they were supposed to survive on it.

The commission added 5,000 a month across the board from August 2025. Top athletes were already on as much as 50,000.

These are the people we ask to beat the world, and then thank at the airport.
