It’s been 3 years since EDSCI Weightlifting was born. 🏋️♂️❤️
It all started when Christian Landicho , a Grade 11 student—now a coach, approached Coach Dino Mercado and asked what we were doing at the back of the covered court. He was doing CrossFit with us back then, and that year, more students started getting curious about CrossFit and weightlifting.
The following year, a group of students came because they were interested in calisthenics, but only one stayed with weightlifting—our powerhouse, Stephan Reil . Then james was brought to the box by his Tito, and eventually fell in love with the sport too.
The three of them eventually brought their siblings, and from there, our EDSCI Weightlifting family continued to grow. We started our monthly club meetings, welcomed students who wanted to try the sport, and some stayed while others moved on.
But these 12 athletes persisted.
They trained hard, especially during the summer, and continued showing up, learning, failing, improving, and growing together.
To these students and to your parents, thank you. Thank you for choosing to enjoy the sport that we love. We hope Boombox has not only made you stronger physically, but also stronger in every aspect of your life.
You have touched each other’s lives through your everyday training. We hope you cherish all those moments—the hard sessions, the laughs, the struggles, the PRs, and everything in between.
You’ve already come so far, but stay hungry for what your body can still do.
We are just starting.
Sabi nga sa HD LiftOff : “Ang sports na pinili natin ay parang orchid. Ang tagal mamulaklak. Ilang taon ang kailangan. Pero darating ang panahon na lalago ito nang napakaganda.” 🌸
Sana ganun din kayo.
Patuloy lang. Magtiyaga. At laging maging mabait sa kapwa.
To the whole Boombox Fam, maraming maraming salamat sa solid na suporta. ❤️
Sana marami pa tayong ma-inspire, marami pang batang mangarap, at mas marami tayong makitang nasa platform sa mga susunod na Palaro.
Congratulations and thank you Escuela de Sophia Weightlifting! 🏋️♂️🇵🇭
