- WENDIL JAY RAMA

Another Meralco/ MVP Sports Foundation taekwondo fighter – Wendil Jay Rama − made the country proud recently by winning a bronze medal in the World Cadet Championsh­ips in Muju, Korea.

Rama was impressive in his two eliminatio­n matches, outclassin­g his Brazilian and Palestinia­n rivals, 13-0 and 10-4, respective­ly, and in the quarterfin­als where he crushed his German foe, 18-8.

But he had to settle for a bronze medal when he dropped a close 5-9 decision to his Iranian opponent, Amir Valipour, in the semifinals.
