Pinoy pole vaulter EJ Obiena binigyang-parangal ng senado

Nagpasa ng resolusyon ang Senado upang batiin ang Filipino pole vaulter na si Ernest John “EJ” Obiena sa kaniyang largest at most successful medal haul sa mga sinalihang pole vaulting competitions sa Europe at Asia ngayong taon.

Ang Senate Resolution No. (SRN) 212 ay inihain ni Sen. Pia Cayetano.

Sa kaniyang sponsorship speech sinabi ni Cayetano na karapat-dapat na bigyang pagkilala si Obiena.

Ang 26-anyos na si Obiena ang naging kauna-unahang Filipino at Asian na nagwagi ng medalya sa World Athletics Men’s Pole Vault competition dahil para makapagtakda siya ng bagong Asian, national, at personal record, matapos maitala ang 5.94 meters.

“I pray and hope that you continue to be an inspiration to the Filipino youth, continue to be humble, and continue to work hard. As EJ said, to get where he is today is not glamorous work,” ani Cayetano.
