MANILA, Philippines – Western Visayas continued to find winners left and right on the third day of the Palarong Pambansa 2023 at Marikina City as it widened its lead over the rest of the regional field with 33 golds as of 8:40 pm on Thursday, August 3.
Most notably, Aklanon swimmer Jennuel Booh de Leon sizzled the pool waters in the secondary boys 50m backstroke with a Palaro record 26.78 seconds – a stunning 3-second gap from the 2019 mark set by Calabarzon’s John Neil Paderes. NCR, almost exclusively, is also making a living off its standout swimmers with 16 of the 24 gold-haulers coming from the sport alone.
Davao Region stays at a distant fourth with 13 golds, while Central Luzon and Northern Mindanao are close behind with 11 each.
