Tony del Prado is one man to congratulate for the success of Cebu taekwondo. Tony is the Team Cebu City taekwondo director and the regional chairperson of the Philippine Taekwondo Association. “We now have different overall champions emerging every tournament unlike before when only one team dominates every tournament,” said del Prado.
He’s talking of the New Face of the Year Taekwondo Championships that was held the other weekend. In those games, different clubs won: The Avengers Taekwondo Club topped the elementary class while the Minglanilla Central School/Active Fitness Gym bagged the overall crown in the advance division.

“This goes out to show that there is now parity among the clubs here in Cebu,” said del Prado. “The good ones are now being scattered to many clubs. We have more pool of good athletes.”
