NAGA CITY – Members of the chess, gymnastics and badminton teams of the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association (Cviraa) garnered golds yesterday amid the raging winds brought about by the fury of typhoon Caloy in the 2006 Palarong Pambansa at the Metro Naga Sports Complex (MNSC).
University of the Visayas (UV) bet Willan Bacalla netted the first gold for Region 7 yesterday as she topped the vault exercise in Secondary Girls Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics at the Ateneo de Naga University, which is five kilometers away from the MNSC.
Giving light on an otherwise bleak day for Region 7 as the full force of the typhoon hit the city were woodpushers in the Secondary division, who garnered the championship titles in their respective events.
Michael Joseph Pagaran doled out the gold to Cviraa after mastering the board one wars in the Secondary Boys division, while the tandem of Jedera Docena and Ma. Therese Letegio chipped in another gold after winning in the Secondary Girls team event.
Decena handled the board one for Region 7, while Letegio was in charge of the board two.
The last to dole out a gold for the region yesterday was the duo of Joe James Taboada and Noeh Layan, who topped their foes in the Elementary Boys badminton Doubles event also at the Ateneo de Naga University.
