Grateful words from Mrs Allyn Rose P. Alcarde President, CALTTEC and mother of Josh Aldrie Alcarde.
Palarong Pambansa 2026 will always be one of the most unforgettable chapters of Toto Rain’s table tennis journey. Every match, every challenge, every victory, and every lesson learned became a beautiful memory that he will cherish for a lifetime.
This journey was never just about winning medals. It was about dedication, discipline, perseverance, and the courage to represent Region VI with pride and honor. Seeing him grow as an athlete and as a young person has been a blessing.
