Indeed, the STEFTI Brave heart of Jarvie Golpe shouts “NO” to defeat.  After failing to gain a niche for the EVRAA, he ventured on to face more challenging competitors in Manila during the 2023 National New Face Taekwondo Championship last May 20-21, winning a gold in Cadet Junior Welterweight Category. Jake Martin Pantas, on the other hand, won bronze in Cadet Brown Belt Category in the same competition. 

These two brave-hearted boys were joined by fellow STEFTI Braves. Julio Alonzo Brown, Krystal Pabillon, Jacob Zubko  and Xian Luke Zubko.  This competition was organized by the Philippine Taekwondo Association.

Way to go, kids!
