Among those whom Obiena plans to invite are reigning world and Olympic champion Mondo Duplantis, world No. 2 Chris Nilsen, and 2016 Rio Olympics gold medalist Thiago Braz. “With the Taal Volcano as backdrop, what more could you ask for—a world-class pole vault action in one of the most picturesque tourist attractions in the country,” said Tolentino. “Every jump will be postcard-perfect.”
“It’s great for tourism and the Philippines will be in the international pole vaulting map,” added Tolentino. “It’s very doable despite next year’s busy schedule. It’s going to be a big event so we have to plan this carefully.”
