Baguio Teacher's Camp & History of Sports Baguio

BAGUIO TEACHERS CAMP

As I intend to head to the teachers camp this weekend I have done some background research into the camp as I was curious as how old it really is and as a fledgling historian I wanted to know a bit about its background. Here is what I found. The link to the full article is below I have just picked out the important parts.

Teachers’ Camp opened its doors for its first season on April 6, and closed on May 30, 1908. A total of 217 adults and 24 children attended the camp. Lecturers were invited from universities and government offices from both the Philippines and the United States. There were regular lectures on General Anthropology and General Ethnology, Genetic Psychology and Present Day Educational Tendencies, Government of the United States and Contemporaneous Problems in Government, Heredity and Spanish.

*From reading this they had a variety of higher level courses offered at the beginning of the 20thCentury in a transitional period for the Filipino people.

Teacher's Camp

Fortunately, it was not all academic in Teachers’ Camp. Teachers’ Camp was also a vacation resort for teachers. The Camp successfully addressed a problem most American educators had while working in the Philippines: American educators did not have an easy time working here in the country. In most cases, these foreigners were assigned to schools where there weren't any other Americans for miles. When the American teacher was bored, lonely, depressed, or in need of any assistance, they had to rely on foreign people to assist them. Of course, there was nothing wrong with this.

However, these Americans would sometimes miss the company of their friends and colleagues. Teachers’ Camp gave those Americans the opportunity to “socialize with people of their own race.”

There were costume parties and dances at the Pines Hotel. There were various performances and shows to be watched, and the teachers even had the opportunity to perform in some.

Believing that physical activity was important for the well-being of the person, Camp organizers made sure that there were outdoor activities for all visitors in the camp regardless of age, size, or sex. Baseball, basketball, gut of war, ball passing relay, potato relay, three jumps relay, and Indian wrestling are just some of the sports and games played at camp.

Interestingly enough, there were even inter-institution competitions like Teachers’ Camp vs. the Camp John Hay team, Manila vs. the Government Center team. These competitions allowed teachers to meet even more people.

This was the beginning of promotion of sports in the Philippines; I will link an earlier article soon on how the Americans introduced sports to civilize the people of Benguet to prevent them from practicing head-hunting and cannibalism.

Through the years, it became clear that Teachers’ Camp remained a priority of both the Department of Public Instruction and the Philippine Commission. While during the early years participants used to live, eat and work in tents, the evident importance of Teachers’ Camp led the Department of Public Instruction and the Colonial Government to allocate funds for the Camp’s improvement. Dormitories, cottages, a social and mess hall were built.

*In my next article on ghosts this will mention about the tent city of the teachers.

Roads and paths within the camp were improved, and an athletic field was built. When it was completed, it was one of the most modern of its kind in the country. Important Americans like William Howard Taft, Paul Monroe, Cameron Forbes, Bishop Brent, and Dean Worcester, as well as important Filipinos – among them Gregorio Araneta, Camilio Osias, Rafael Palma and Juan Sumulong- recognizing the importance of Teachers’ Camp, walked its grounds.

Due to the limitation of sources, the core of our research ends in 1913. After 1913, hardly anything is written about Teachers’ Camp in the Bureau of Public Instruction reports. The Teachers’ Assembly Herald also disappears after 1913. What is the exact reason for this?

The authors of this paper are still exploring the answer However, in 1913; Harrison replaced Forbes as Governor General of the Philippines. One of the first changes he made was to stop moving the government to Baguio for the summer.

As a result, Baguio for a while faded into the background as a priority. Other government offices probably followed Harrison’s example, preferring to focus on other matters. Of course, without the source, one can only speculate what happened to Teachers’ Camp thru the years. Was it because the number of American teachers was declining? Was the role of the Camp as a vacation destination changing as well? Perhaps.

What is certain are the following facts: from 1936-1941, Teachers’ Camp became the PMA Campus; during the war it was the hospital for injured Japanese soldiers.

Today, Teachers’ Camp continues to become an important vacation destination for Filipino educators. The camp bonfires and dances may be gone, but its role as host for various conferences and seminars continues.

How big a role does Teachers’ Camp play in the history of the Filipino people and this nation? There are perhaps two important points to be addressed. First, Teachers’ Camp nurtured the intellectual, physical and social well-being of American educators.

Americans really laid the foundations for our modern education system. Without American teachers, where would we be today? Certainly education in the Philippines would have taken a very different route. Second, it was in Teachers’ Camp that some of the policies and regulations that were to affect all the students in the entire country were introduced and discussed.

Everything the teacher learned from Baguio would be applied to his/her students. You may be a student in the remotest part of the country, but you would still benefit from what was done in the Camp.

Because of Teachers’ Camp, an entire nation was educated and shaped. It is the greatest role an institution could hope for, and this little corner of Baguio has that honor. (Karina Garilao, Jeric Albela, Jonathan Balsamo and Rior Santos)

BAGUIO History of Sports A keen running tradition started in the mountains of Benguet with American colonialists introducing sports such as Baseball and cross country races to help civilize the people discouraging head hunting and cannibalism. The strong tradition of long distance running in the province continues to this day.

Headhunting was the way in which the various wild tribes manifested their own mutual hostility. Inhabitants of rival villages took each other's heads as often as opportunity afforded, and by an elaborate savage code a man's social position was largely determined by the number of heads he was able to hang over his door. The Americans soon found that the feuds of the headhunting villages knew nothing of their neighbors. Indeed, headhunting was little more than a savage sport.

"America and the Philippines"

1914

To bring the members of the different tribes and the inhabitants of different villages together was the task of the American authorities. To do this, trails were built, making the different communities easily accessible to each other. To replace the sport of headhunting, army officers introduced less bloody contest. Under the auspices of the army, and, later, of the constabulary; field meets were held in which headhunters from different villages were induced to compete in foot races, wrestling matches, tugs of war, etc. These contests at once became popular and are now most important events among the wild tribes. Cups are now competed for, and the contests have aroused so much interest that headhunting has been abandoned as a tame and uninteresting sport. Among some of the wild tribes, baseball has been introduced with a great deal of success, though often the catcher's mask and chest protector are the only garments worn by the players.

Plaque honoring Athletes who died in service in World War II to be restored By Andrew Pirie

Jun 9, 2014

I want to note that Miss Nancy (curator of the PSC Museum), myself and PSC Engineer and PSL Technical Committee head Alfredo Mascardo Jr.

We were able to solve the mystery of the three faded/missing names on the war Plaque outside the Basketball stadium in the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex. The Plaque carries the name of thirty athletes who died in service during World War II. Due to age the Plaque only had a few letters left on which we needed to solve the names.

However thanks to the article (below) by Eddie Alinea of Manila Standard we were able to identify the three faded names which will allow for the restoration of the War plaque in time for the centenary of Filipino sports being celebrated later this week.

http://pinoyathletics.info/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DSC_0006.jpg

The three names were

Aleyo Alvarez (Athletics)

Carlos Canilas (Basketball)

Jose Miranda (Football)

Sports Heroes who displayed true heroism during the war By Eddie Alinea

Manila Standard, June 8 2014

Filipinos who know their sports history recognize that it was swimmer Teofilo Yldefonso who gave the Philippines its first Olympic medal—a bronze in the 200-meter breaststroke in the 1928 Games in London.

That was four years after an obscure sprinter by the name of David Nepomuceno opened the door for the Filipino athletes’ participation in the every-four-year event among the universe’s finest athletes in 1924 in Paris.

town in Ilocos Norte repeated the feat four years later in 1932 in Los Angeles where he spearheaded the country’s richest haul of three bronze medals in the “Greatest Sports show On

Earth,” finishing third, too, in his favorite event.

High jumper Simeon Toribio and featherweight fighter Jose “Cely” Villanueva duplicated the Ilocano tanker’s feat by romping off a bronze each in the same year.

But perhaps only few know that Yldefonso was the only Filipino athlete to be elevated to swimming’s Hall of Fame, an honor which was bestowed on him by the International Swimming Federation (FINA) five years ago in 2009.

In handing the honor to Yldefonso, FINA also took notice of the Filipino’s unfamiliar style, now known as “Yldefonso Stroke” that has been adapted by pint-sized swimmers, especially Asians, particularly the Japanese.

Not many know too that Yldefonso, as a member of the famous Philippine Scouts even when he was still active as an athlete, put his life on the line in the field of combat in defense of the country’s Independence during the Filipino-Japanese War.

Yldefonso, in fact, died in the infamous Capas Concentration Camp in Tarlac along with his comrades during the long, murderous Tarlac-Bataan Death March perpetrated by the Japanese Imperial Army.

Eight other Filipino Olympians, who represented the country in several Summer Games, died serving the country during the war. They were track stars Miguel White and Lt. Nemesio de Guzman, , basketball players Jacinto “Jumping Jack” Ciria Cruz and Amador Obordo, another swimmer Abduramam Ali, Lt. Otoniel Gonzaga in shooting, Lt. Simplicio de Castro in boxing and Lt. Enrique Jurado in wrestling.

White, a native of Legaspi City, Albay, won the country’s lone medal in the 1936 Berlin Games, winning the bronze in the 400-m low hurdles, while owning the distinction of sharing the Olympic stage with legendary track star Jesse Owens of the United States.

White, who had joined the guerilla movement during the war, was killed by the Japanese forces d somewhere in the Southern Luzon-Bicol area.

Double bronze medalist Teofilo

Yldefonso Up close Ciria Cruz and Obordo, meanwhile, were members of the Philippine basketball team that ended up third the first time the basketball was held in Berlin in what could have been a silver medal had it not for the quirk in the format.

The national quintet, nicknamed as “The Islanders” by appreciative German fans because of their in and off-court demeanor, won all, except one of their assignments, losing only to eventual champion, the United States.

Skippered by then senator-to-be Ambrosio “Paddy” Padiila, other members of the squad, coached by FIBA (International Basketball Federation) Hall of Famer Dionisio “Chito” Calvo, were Primitivo Martinez, Charlie Borck, Jesus Marzan, Franco Marquicias, Fortunato Yambao, Bibiano Ouano and Johnny Worrel.

Cruz, who incidentally, was named co-Outstanding Athletes of Half-A-Century by the PAAF along with Yldefonso and football ace Virgilio Lobregat, was executed by Japanese soldiers in Bayombong, Nueva Ecija in 1944.

Of the 52 in the list, 19 were international campaigners in athletics, 10 in swimming, nine in baseball, five in basketball, three in boxing, two in football, two in tennis and one each in wrestling.

Lt. De Guzman of the Philippine Army was White’s teammate in the national athletics contingent in the 1936 Games of the Olympics where Lt. Gonzaga and De Castro both saw action. Ali was Yldefonso’s swimming teammate in the IXth Olympiad in 1932 in L.A.

De Guzman finished third in the trials of the 100-meter and failed to make it to the semifinal round as only the top two finishers qualified. He was fourth in his heat in the 200 meters and was again left out of the next round.

Gonzaga wound up 31st in the target pistol (ring) event, the same finish in a tie for the 31ST and 32nd in the miniature rifle event. Ali matched De Guzman’s third place finish in trials of the 100-meter freestyle event and, likewise, failed to make it to the semis.

Jurado, who wrestled as a bantamweight, lost his first two assignments. Boxer De Castro, on the other hand, defeated Saucassiabi of Luxemburg in the opening round but bowed to Frenchman Tritz in his next bout.

Besides White and De Guzman, track and field athletes, who died in defense of the country’s freedom were Miguel Sugeco, Sgt. Domingo Espanol, Lt. Jose Antonio, Mayor Emilio Bucoy, Wenceslao Bansale, Eliseo Razo, Civico Granado, Maximino Pasaporte, Albino Bangayan, Delfin Danguilan, Lt. Constantino Alambra, Moises Lucas, Felizardo Casia, Francisco Danao, Bartolome Barabad, Alejo Alvarez and Simon Santos.

Joining Yldefonso and Ali in the roster of swimmers who emerged as heroes both in the international field and in the battlefield were non-Olympians Rosendo Aguinaldo, Policarpio Tolentino, Donato Cabading, Miguel Bartolaso, Ulka Mangona, Jakaria Angkang, Bernardino Tugbo and Mauricio Guidote.

Outstanding baseball players who led the Philippine IX to six Far Eastern Games championships were Sgt. Aquilino Jacob, Cpl. Pablo Chu, Sgt. Gervacio Estorba, Atilano “Django” Rivera, Cacimiro Francisco, Ramon Oncinian, Toribio Oncinian, Regino Bertulfo and Cipriano Platon.

Rivera was the first Filipino ball player to see action in the rich and prestigious Japanese League but, ironically, was killed by Japanese soldiers when he returned home during the war.

Ramon and Toribio Oncinian were siblings of the more illustrious Armando, the pitcher who became famous when he struck out American baseball legend Babe Ruth during the U.S. Major League champion New York Yankees’ exhibition series against local teams in the 1930s.

Like Ciria Cruz and Obordo, Carlos Canillas, Albert Murrow and Robert Keesy also made their mark in many international basketball competitions.

Francisco Zarcal, a USAFFE member, and police officer Martin Roxas were the only other boxers besides De Castro whose names were etched on the bronze marker with Jose Miranda joining Lobregat as sports heroes in football.

The Lobregat football field in Makati where the statue of the late former Sen. Benigno Aquino, father of President P-Noy, is located, was named after soccer great Virgilio Lobregat.

Concepcion Santos-Cepeda, a nurse, is the 1921 national singles and doubles titleholder in tennis, was the only female athlete in the list. She was the sister of track and field honoree Simon Santos. Joining her in the list was another tennis player in Juan Ladaw.

In their honor, along with 42 other athlete-soldiers/scouts, the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation (the ruling sports body at that time) installed a 33 x 24 inches bronze marker on July 17, 1951, containing their names on the left wall of the Rizal Memorial Coliseum façade in a ceremony presided over by PAAF president Jorge Vargas.

More than 50 sports association officials, along with their relatives, attended the unveiling of the marker. Letran College athletic moderator, Fr. Martin Diez, 0.P. assisted Vargas in the formal dedication.

Since then, however, the plaque had been ill-maintained and the names of the honorees barely readable.

When informed of the historical value of the marker, Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Ritchie Garcia, ordered the restoration of the signage in time for the commemoration of the 116th Anniversary of Philippine Independence Day on June 12.

Rizal Memorial declared a historical landmark July 19, 2013

From the Manila Bulletin By Ben Simpao

Published: July 19, 2013

The plan to sell the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex to a land developer may have hit a snag after the National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared the property a historical landmark the commission will later place a plaque or marker at the complex to indicate its cultural value.

The designation, however, does not preclude the possibility that the property, which is in a prime location in the Tourist Belt of Ermita and Malate, can still be sold.

The commission met last Monday and the eight members of the NHCP board unanimously voted to install a historical marker at the sports complex.

The plaque will carry the inscription of the existence of the Rizal Memorial playing fields and stadiums and its place in sports history, said commission deputy director Carminda Arevalo.

But for the complex to be declared untouchable, it must first pass the criteria of the National Museum which is the only entity that can designate a place or a thing as having a historical value and therefore must be preserved for posterity.

The Philippines was represented in athletics by two long jumpers, Henry Dagmil and Marestella Torres. The two did not qualify to the games via the usual route, but were accepted as card entries by the International Olympic Committee upon the request of the Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association.[8]

Dagmil registered just one successful jump in the qualifying round, finishing with a result of 7.58 meters, and was ranked 34th out of 41 competitors.[9]

Torres, who hoped to improve upon her personal best of 6.63 meters, injured her left knee while picking up speed before taking off for her first jump.[8] She finished the qualifying round with a result of 6.17 meters, and was ranked 35th out of 42 competitors.[10]

Though boxing has been the Philippines' traditional source of medals at the Olympics, the country's only representative for boxing at the Beijing Olympics was Harry Tañamor, who earned his spot at the games through his second place finish at the World Amateur Boxing Championships in 2007. Tañamor was the only Filipino athlete predicted to win a medal in Sports Illustrated's Olympic Preview issue, which tipped him to capture the silver.[11] However, he was defeated by Manyo Plange of Ghana in the first matchup of the games.

Diving [edit] Main article: Diving at the 2008 Summer Olympics

The Philippines was represented in diving events by two athletes—Rexel Ryan Fabriga, who competed in the men's 10 m platform, and Sheila Mae Perez, who competed in the women's 3 m springboard. Neither diver advanced past the preliminary stage of the competition.

During practice in Xi'an weeks before the Olympic Games, Fabriga suffered a waist injury that seriously hampered the pace of his training.[12] Both he and his coach admitted that his performance in the games would inevitably be affected by the injury, with the possibility that he would be unable to finish his dive.[12] In the preliminary stage of the competition, Fabriga's opening dive was the least impressive of the round, and he went on to finish the preliminaries in 28th place in a field of 30.[13]

Perez finished her preliminary round at 23rd place in a field of 30 divers.

Ang got off to a poor start in the qualifying round, shooting only 19 in the first string and ending the first day of qualifications ranked 30th of 35.[15] He did not improve on the second day, and finished the event in last place.[16]

Hidilyn Diaz was selected as a wild card entry to the Summer Olympics by the Philippine Weightlifting Association in early 2008.[19] She is the first female weightlifter to compete for the Philippines in the Olympics, and the second weightlifter overall.[20] Competing in the women's 58 kg class, 17 year-old Diaz lifted 85 kg in the snatch and 107 kg in the clean and jerk for a 192 kg total, breaking the Philippine record that she herself set at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games.[21] Though she placed second to last in a field of 12 weightlifters, her performance was praised and considered promising for her age. Philippine Sports Commission Chairman William Ramirez said "She's here to gain valuable experience", and predicted that she would be a strong contender at future games.[22] She is set to undergo an extensive training program to prepare her for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[23]

2012 Olympics

Background[edit] The chef de mission of the Philippine team is Manny Lopez, vice president of the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).[3] Before the games, he said that he was looking to boxing's Mark Anthony Barriga and BMX racing's Daniel Caluag as the two athletes with the most potential to end the country's Olympic medal drought.[4] However, POC chairperson Monico Puentevella tried to lower expectations, telling sportswriters not to expect any medal, and saying it would be a "miracle" if any of the eleven athletes in the contingent bring home a medal of any color.[5] The country has not won a medal at the Olympics since the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, where Mansueto Velasco won silver for boxing.

The 30-minute flag raising ceremony for the Philippine team was held at the Olympic Village on 22 July, attended by eight of the eleven Philippine Olympic athletes, five team officials, and other invited guests.[6] The country was ninth out of 204 to have its flag raised as part of the Olympic tradition.[6]

Beginning in 2013, the Southeast Asian Games will shift its focus to the staging of traditional Olympic sports, rather than the indigenous events which have not gained wide recognition outside the region.[3] The Philippines is a major participant in the SEA Games, which is held every 2 years with supervision by the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Council of Asia.

Opening ceremony[edit] The Olympic uniform worn by the athletes during the opening ceremony was a modern take on the barong Tagalog, a distinct form of formal wear featuring embroidered translucent fabric.[7] The uniform was designed by Filipino fashion designer Rajo Laurel, who serves as a judge on Project Runway Philippines.[7] His rendition of the barong Tagalog has a more tapered fit, slightly cropped length, and small fabrication changes while paying great respect to tradition.[7] This is paired with weight wool flat front trousers, and a salakot with a golf leaf designed to catch the light as the athletes march into the stadium.[7]

21-year old weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz from Zamboanga City, who competed at her second consecutive Olympics, acted as the nation's flag bearer in the opening ceremonies, the first by a female in Olympic history.[8] She was unanimously selected by the POC board for the honor of carrying the flag.[9]

Overview by sports[edit] Archery[edit] Main article: Archery at the 2012 Summer Olympics

Archery events is being held at the Lord’s.

The Philippines was represented in archery events by two athletes, Mark Javier and Rachelle Anne Cabral. As part of their final preparations in the build-up to the Olympics, the two archers underwent 10 days of training in South Korea under Korean coach Chung Jae Yun.[3] Archery events in the London games were held at the Lord's Cricket Ground.

Mark Javier competed in the men's individual event. This was his second Olympic Games, having previously competed in the same event at the 2008 Summer Olympics, where he placed 36th of 64 in the ranking round and was eliminated in first round of the tournament. In the ranking round held on 28 July, he scored 649 of a possible 720.[10] This ranked him 55th of the 64 competitors, setting up a first round match-up with Brady Ellison of the United States, who is ranked #1 in the world.[10] In the match with Ellison, the American won the first, second, and fourth sets, with the third set resulting in a draw.[11] The final score had Ellison winning 7-1, eliminating Javier from the tournament.[11]

Rachel Anne Cabral competed in the women's individual event. She scored 627 in the ranking round held on 28 July, which placed her 48th out of 64 competitors. In the first round of the knockout she faced Inna Stepanova of Russia. Stepanova won the first, second, and fourth set, with the third set resulting in a draw.[12] The final score had Stepanova winning 7-1, which eliminated Cabral from the tournament.

Another archery athlete with Philippine roots competing at the Olympics is Filipino-Canadian Crispin Dueñas.[13] Dueñas was born in Toronto where his parents had emigrated from the Philippines. Despite being a member of the Canadian team at the games, he had previously received offers, and had considered, to join the Philippine delegation.[13] Dueñas was unable to advance past the first stage of the knockout tournament.

Athletics[edit] Main article: Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics

The Philippines was represented in the woman's long jump event by Marestella Torres, the only competitor from Southeast Asia in the event. This was her second Olympic Games, having previously competed in the same event at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Her personal best in the long jump is 6.71 meters, a national record, achieved at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games in Jakarta where she won the gold.[14] Torres achieved a jump of 5.98 meters on her first attempt, followed by 6.21 meters on her second attempt, and 6.22 meters on her third and best jump.[14] Her mark of 6.22 meters was good for 22nd place in a field of 28, failing to qualify in the top 12 who would advance to the finals.[14]

Rene Herrera represented the country in the men's 5000 meters event, where he was the only competitor from Southeast Asia.[15] Herrera was a specialist in the 3000 meter steeplechase, having won the gold at the previous five Southeast Asian Games, but was drafted to run the 5000 meters event in the Olympics because of the availability of a slot to compete under the universality rule.[15] He finished the heat with a time of 14:44.11, which was a personal best, and just 10 seconds off his target time.[15] In spite of that, he finished with the slowest time of the 42 starters in the heats, and did not move on to the finals.[15]

Boxing[edit] Main article: Boxing at the 2012 Summer Olympics

Boxing has traditionally been the Philippines' strongest sport at the Olympics. Five of the nine medals won by the Philippines in Olympic history came from boxing, including its only two silver medals. The last time the country won an Olympic medal from a non-boxing event was at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

Mark Anthony Barriga, from Panabo, Davao del Norte, was the Philippines' only representative in the sport of boxing at the 2012 Summer Olympics, where he competed in the light flyweight division.[4] He qualified for the Olympics after competing at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan. Though he lost to Zou Shiming of China in the third round of the competition, the International Boxing Association announced in a qualification quirk that Barriga would qualify for the Olympics for losing to the eventual tournament champion.[4] Prior to the start of the Olympics, Barriga trained for three weeks in Cardiff, Wales.[16] He was coached by Roel Velasco, who won a bronze medal for boxing in the 1992 Summer Olympics.[16]

In the opening match of the light flyweight division, Barriga scored a convincing 17-7 victory over Manuel Cappai of Italy.[17] In the next match, against Birzhan Zhakypov of Kazakhstan, Barriga lost by a single point, with a bout resulting in a score of 17-16.[18] Barriga lead the fight by two points at the end of the second round, however he received a warning in the third and final round for ducking, resulting in his opponent receiving two critical additional points which decided the outcome of the match.[18] Immediately after the bout, the Philippines filed a protest, saying that Barriga should have instead been given a "caution" which normally precedes a warning.[18] However the protest was rejected without the protest committee reviewing the fight tape, saying that the appeal was made on emotional rather than technical grounds.[18]

Another Filipino boxer, Charly Suarez, nearly qualified for the Olympic games but had to settle for the silver at the 2012 Asian Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament, which rewarded only the gold medalist with a spot in the Olympics.[4]

The Philippines was represented in cycling by Filipino-American Daniel Caluag, who had reigned for four years as the number one ranked BMX rider in the United States, and qualified for a spot in the Olympic Games by accumulating enough points on the international circuit.[4] Unable to utilize training facilities at the United States Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California, Caluag trained instead in the Netherlands prior to the Olympics.[4]

Judo[edit] Main article: Judo at the 2012 Summer Olympics

Filipino-Japanese judoka Tomohiko Hoshina was the sole representative of the Philippines in judo at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Hoshina, who carries dual citizenship, has candidly admitted that the reason he was part of the Philippine team in the Olympics was because he had a much higher chance of making it to the games as a Filipino rather than as a Japanese citizen.[19] He qualified for the Olympics through what is called "continental allocation", securing the slot after earning 27 ranking points during the 2011 World Judo Championships in Paris and the 2011 Asian Judo Championships in Abu Dhabi.[20] As part of his preparation for the Olympic games, he trained in Tokyo under Japanese mentor Yasuhiro Sato.[3]

Hoshina entered the Olympic tournament as a heavy underdog against his first competitor, Kim Sung-Min of South Korea.[20] Kim had previously defeated Hoshina at the 2011 World Judo Championships and the 2011 Asian Judo Championships.[21] On 3 August, Hoshina lost to Kim by ippon (full-point throw), eliminating him from the tournament.[21] The match lasted only 1 minute and 5 seconds, and was the second quickest bout of the division.[21]

Shooting[edit] Main article: Shooting at the 2012 Summer Olympics

In shooting, the Philippines was represented by Paul Brian Rosario, who competed in the men's skeet event.[22] He was selected by the International Shooting Sport Federation as the card entry to represent the country following a string of impressive performances in international shooting tournaments in the previous four years.[22] Rosario hit the minimum qualifying score for the Olympics six times since 2008.[22] At the men's skeet event of the ISSF World Cup in Belgrade, he set a new Philippine record of 120, which is one point shy of the gold medal winning performance by Vincent Hancock at the 2008 Summer Olympics.[22]

In the first day of the qualification round at the London Olympics, Rosario garnered a score of 22 in the first round, 19 in the second round, and a perfect 25 in the third round, ending the day ranked 32nd.[23] Rosario was quoted by his coach as saying that he was "terribly disappointed"

by his score of 19 in the second round, which was marred by three consecutive misses in the middle of the string.[24] However, his score of 25 in the third round was notable for being the first perfect score by a Filipino shooter at the Olympics.[24] In the second day of qualifications, he scored 22 in the fourth round, and another 22 in the fifth round.[23] His final score of 110 placed him in rank 31 out of 36 competitors, far from the top-6 finish required to move on to the final round.[23]

In swimming events at the Olympics, the Philippines was represented by two swimmers— 18-year old Jessie Lacuna in the men's 200 meter freestyle event, and 19-year old Jasmine Alkhaldi in the women's 100 meter freestyle event.

On July 29, in the second of six heats of the men's 200 meter freestyle event, Jessie Lacuna finished with a time of 1:52.91, placing him fifth in a field of seven swimmers for the heat.[25] This was 2 seconds off of his personal best of 1:50.90, set during an invitational tournament in Singapore two years prior.[25] His performance in the heat was good for 36th place among the 40 starters in the Olympic event, meaning he did not advance to the semi-finals, as only the top 16 swimmers with the best times in the heats would advance.[25] His coach Pinky Brosas later said that Lacuna was too fast in the first 100 meters and could not follow up, and that it would be a learning experience.[25]

In the women's 100 meter freestyle event, Jasmine Alkhaldi finished with a time of 57.13 seconds in the heat, the fifth best finish among the eight starters in the third heat.[26] This is slightly behind her submitted personal best of 56.92 seconds.[26] Overall she ranked 34th among the 50 competitors in the event.[26] Only the top 16 swimmers with the best times in the heats would advance, meaning Alkhaldi did not move on to the semifinals.

Weightlifting[edit] Main article: Weightlifting at the 2012 Summer Olympics

The Philippines was represented in weightlifting by 21 year old Hidilyn Diaz, who competed in the women's 58 kg event. She is the first Filipino weightlifter to represent the country in two consecutive Olympics.[9] She previously competed in the same event four years earlier at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she entered as a wildcard entry and placed 11th out of 12 competitors.[8] She was the lightest of the competitors in the event at the time, and her result of 192 kilograms, though setting a Philippine record, was far from the 244 kilograms posted by gold medalist Chen Yanqing of China.[8] Since then, however, she had improved her personal best to 219 kilograms, which raises the Philippine record by 2 kilograms from her fourth place finish at the2012 Asian Weightlifting Championships held in Pyeongtaek, South Korea in previous April 2012.[8] While this remains far from the mark set by Chen, Diaz has said that it could put her in contention for a medal.[8]

On the instructions of her coach Tony Agustin, Diaz submitted a projected lift of 225 kilograms, which is above her personal high of 219 kilograms.[27] At the event, she successfully lifted a personal best of 97 kilograms in the snatch, which was the 12th best showing among the 19 competitors.[28] However, she was unsuccessful in all three attempts to lift her opening weight of 118 kilograms in the clean and jerk.[28] In her first two attempts at lifting 118 kilograms, she was able to go through the clean, but twice failed to complete the jerk.[29] On the third attempt, she failed to go through the clean, as the weights slipped and fell to the floor.[29] She then waved tearfully to the crowd, and walked into the arms of her coach who was waiting in the sidelines.[29] She is one of two competitors (along with Lina Rivas of Colombia) to end with an official result of "Did not finish" (DNF) in the event.

Diaz was the flag bearer of the Philippine delegation during the parade of nations at the Olympic opening ceremony on 27 July.[8]
