Council cites Jujeath’s victory

THE City Council is on a roll, this time commending boxer and mixed martial arts fighter Jujeath Nagaowa through City Resolution 119 after she brought home the gold in the recent Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) in Macau June 6.

Nagaowa took home the WIBA belt after a 10-round unanimous decision over China's Luo Yu Jie at the Forum de Macau for her 13th win in boxing with 15 losses and a draw.

The 27-year-old lady pug is also currently fighting in One Championship, Asia’s largest MMA promotion based in Singapore and has racked up back-to-back victories.

Earlier, the City Council through Resolution 118 introduced by Vice Mayor Edison Bilog and co-authored by Councilor Leandro Yangot Jr. commended and congratulated Wushu artist Daniel Parantac who made a mark in the 28th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games held in Singapore recently.

Parantac took home a gold medal in the men’s Wushu Taijiquan Category besting Malaysia’s Jack Chang Loh and Indonesia’s Julius Kurniawan.

The resolution stated, “Their achievements which could only be attained through hard work, dedication and technique are worthy of emulation by the city’s young athletes.”

“Their outstanding feat deserves to be commended for the honor and recognition they have brought to the City of Baguio and the entire nation,” the resolution added.

Bilog, meanwhile, hopes the City Council will approve the pending measure that would increase the incentives of city athletes who bring home medals in city, regional, national and international sports competitions. (Jair Ampaguey/Trinity College Intern with a report from Paul Rillorta)
