PUERTO PRINCESA CITY - A three-time Palarong Pambansa gold medalist took the thunder while the sons of a former Olympian made their presence felt in the opening day of the 2010 Smart-Abap National Amateur Boxing Championship Monday night at the Puerto Princesa coliseum here.
Mark Anthony Barriga of Panabo City scored an impressive victory over Arjay Aguilar of Bicol, 23-1, to advance to the quarterfinals of the junior boys' pinweight category of this prestigious five-day tourney, which stakes a total of 14 slots in the national youth squad.
The 16-year old Barriga, a first-year commerce student from Panabo College who dominated the past three editions of Palarong Pambansa, bombarded Aguilar with a flurry of head and body punches right from the opening bell to notch the lopsided win that impressed national coaches Pat Gaspi, Romeo Brin, Roel Velasco and Boy Catolico.
The four coaches were on the sidelines to scout potential talents that will compete in the 2010 Singapore Youth Olympics in August.
"Gusto ko talaga siyang ma-knock out para mapasama ako sa RP (youth) team," said Barriga, the second of the three children of a machine operator and a housekeeper.
"Pero mahaba pa 'yan. Madami pang pwedeng mangyari. Magagaling din ang mga kalaban ko dito."
Also impressive were the sons of 1992 Barcelona Olympian Roberto Jalnaiz who are representing Misamis Oriental under Gov. Oscar Moreno.
Rafael Jalnaiz, 10, pulled an 11-5 decision over Kent Jasper Fuentes of Palawan in the kids' vacuum weight category while his elder brother, 12-year old Robert Miguel, humbled Jeffrey Stella of Mandue City, 13-3, in the kids' ant weight category.
"Araw-araw ensayo nyang mga batang iyan. Tinututukan ko talaga sila dahil alam kong madaming malalakas (na kalaban) dito," said Jalnaiz, who was remembered as the lone Filipino gold medalist in the 1990 Beijing Asian Games.
Wrapping up the elimination round in the kids' ant weight class are Michael Joerge Codilla, who won over Joseph Orevello, 10-9, Justine Carl Fajardo of Puerto Princesa A, who stopped Jake Tabares of Caloocan in the second round, and Romer Dagoy of Zamboanga, who edged Dave Luna of Puerto Princesa C, 13-11.
In the kids' vacuum weight, Ryan Jaime Flores of Bago City emerged victorious over Jason Pia of Davao, 10-7, Wencyl Brian Abes of Baguio City dominated Franklin Pagdatu of Puerto Princesa C, 16-11, Rhezon Tarona of Mandaue City clobbered John Zedrick Borce of Puerto Princesa A, 12-7, Mario Bautista of Negros Occidental conquered Jude Chia of Puerto Princesa B, 21-7, and Robert Paradero of Bukidnon stopped Emmanuel Tapia Jr. in the second round.
In the school boys' light mosquito weight class, Michael Bahena was declared the winner after Ryan Torres of La Union gave him a head butt while Matthew Jagmis of Puerto Princesa C hacked an 18-12 victory over Jayson Dagelio of Tagbilaran.
Eljean Hermedalla of Bacolod A and Philip Luis Cuerdo of Mandaluyong also won, clobbering Sonny Sagbaulan of Puerto Princesa B (9-1) and McJoe Lozada of Palawan (23-11), respectively.
Also advancing to the quarterfinals of the junior boys' pinweight class that starts today were Espiridion Pubadora of Iloilo, Rodney Bernardo of Palawan, Jude Cheng of Cordillera, Alfer Sumugat of Palawan and Frederick Magbanua of Puerto Princesa B.
In the flyweight class, Cris Paulino of Manila, Raffey Cavan of Davao del Norte, Mesar Alpuerto of Palawan A were declared winners as well as Arnel Tapang of Mandaluyong, Marcial Angelo of Taguig, Ruiz Lorenzo Tesorio of Puerto Princesa A and Martin Cordova of Bago City.
In the junior boys' bantamweight division, Kevin James of Tayabas, Leonil Bordeos of Northern Samar and Gabriel Altajeros of National Capital Region also claimed their respective quarterfinal tickets.

DAVAO DEL NORTE’S CHARLY SUAREZ WINS IN THE 2009 MILAN AIBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
DAVAO DEL NORTE’S CHARLY SUAREZ WINS IN THE 2009 MILAN AIBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
As the five-man Philippine Team contingent faces the toughest challenge in the on-going 2009 AIBA World Championships in Milan, Italy, a Davao del Norte amateur pugilist surely made a mark in this prestigious event.
Charly Suarez, easily Mindanao’s most promising amateur boxing standout to date who started his early amateur days as a member of the nationally-acclaimed Tonyboy Floirendo-fathered Barangay Una Boxing Team before joining the Philippine Team training pool, played with wit and grit as he overwhelmed Julian Stan of Romania with a score of 18-8. His next fight will be against the Korean Min Jae Joo ranked no.55 in the world ratings. Suarez, now a Philippine Army campaigner in the featherweight division (55-57 kgs.) is one of the five amateur boxers to represent the country in this tourney which features top caliber fighters from around the globe. Other team members include 2008 Moscow World Championships Gold Medalist Harry Tañamor, 2006 Doha Asian Games Gold Medalist Joan Tipon, Genebert Basadre, and Joegin Ladon.
Though still young at 23, Charly Suarez already participated in numerous international tournaments such as the 2009 Chicago World Championships, 2006 Thailand King’s Cup, among others and has recently finished his training with other RP bets in Cuba along with Rey Saludar, also a former Barangay Una Boxing Team stalwart.
Cong. Anton Lagdameo of the 2nd District of Davao del Norte who continues to support the grassroots program of the Barangay Una Boxing Team, is very much pleased with the results saying ”Though the win of Suarez is still in the preliminary stages, his triumph is well-meant as it signifies also the success of our Barangayanihan Sports Development Program particularly in amateur boxing at the grassroot-level and its contribution to the nation’s training pool”. Lagdameo hoped that Suarez along with the other competing RP Team fighters will eventually have a breakthrough campaign and haul back a gold medal to the country.
