The Iloilo Mark V. Pinggol (MVP) taekwondo jins kept their usual form and continued to dazzle on the international stage after hauling medals in the recently concluded 4th Lents Taekwondo Worldwide Sports Online Poomsae Open 2021.

After a series of successful local and national taekwondo stints, the Iloilo MVP gym did not lose a step and carried its momentum once again to put the City of Love at the top of the Lents’ pedestal hosted by Denmark.

Previously, the Pinggol mentored jins also impressed in the 3rd Lents Taekwondo Online Poomsae tourney after capturing two gold medals and one silver.

This time, five MVP jins were able to notch medals with three golds, one bronze, and one silver medal.

The hot-streak for Joshua Cachero continues after nabbing the gold medal in the Individual Male Blackbelt Under-30 category.

Meanwhile, Cachero teamed up with Jilyn Rose Yap in the Mixed Pair Blackbelt Over-17 category and collected another gold medal.

Niesha Kariz Pequierda and Shanen Anica Feranco closed the show for the MVP gym after winning silver and bronze medals respectively.
