This is about a Filipino athlete, putting the entire fracas behind to give the nation the assurance of loyalty—a word so powerful yet painful if the cases of chess grandmaster Wesley So and golf sensation Yuka Saso play in mind. MBOpinions READ:

Forget about the mudslinging, a feud that has not only painted an ugly impression on warring parties but also a deep gash on what has been a fruitful relationship that produced an Olympian, an Asian record-holder, and a many-time achiever in top-level competitions.

With his lean frame—made to work wonders on his demanding sport—Obiena shoots up like a catapult and goes head to head against the best in the field, thus making a name for himself as the No. 6 vaulter in the world and slowly building his own journey as the next Olympic success story. Obiena denied the reports and formed his own legal team to handle the situation. The Philippine Sports Commission entered the fray but only to mediate between the factions. The Philippine Olympic Committee, meanwhile, created an ethics body to investigate the dispute.
