Japan Karate Association - COC NKKPI

12/06/2026

This 128th Philippine Independence Day, the Japan Karate Association NKKPI COC/CDO is one with the Filipino people who call for justice and better governance; we call on our leaders to choose integrity over dishonesty, the Filipino people over the few elites, and for the better over nationwide failure.

Success is defined by hard work, perseverance, and commitment. In JKA NKKPI COC/CDO, we believe that success doesn’t happen overnight, and no member became a champion in an instant. In JKA NKKPI COC/CDO, we value academic excellence and keep on reminding our members that they are students first before taking the responsibilities of an athlete; this is why it is called “student-athlete”. Today, JKA Nihon Karate Kyokai Philippines Inc. - COC/CDO and the School of Criminology & Criminal Justice recognize the hard work, perseverance, and commitment of Frank in maintaining his good academic performance from his 1st year in college to 4th year as a criminology student and in his karate career by winning local and national/international karate tournaments since 2022. Frank also proved that karate plays a great role in personal development, not just in physical aspects but training every individual holistically.

Congratulations,

Frank Lloyd A. Lumaygay (3rd Kyu Brown Belt)
MOST OUTSTANDING STUDENT-ATHLETE
