A five-year-old Davaoeno brought honor to Davao City and the Philippines in general after he won two gold medals in the grappling industries tournament in Brisbane, Australia, on March 5.
M8y Marco Tamayo won the five-year-old and 20-kg categories in the tournament that featured some of the top young jujitsu practitioners in Australia.
Tamayo is the son of a Davaoeno fitness trainer coach Marco Antonio Tamayo.
Tamayo, the owner of Iflex Maa, his wife, and kids, are currently residing in Australia.
In an earlier interview by this reporter, Tamayo believed that anyone can be somebody if they are physically and intellectually fit and can get them to greatness in the field of sports and fitness.
"Live Learn Train" is "my idea of having a start-up career in life or to give hope to our young generations in urban places in Mindanao, Philippines, that might have skills needed to develop and can create big change not only for their lives but for others too as an inspiration and model," Tamayo said.
