Eight year old green belter Serafica won bronze medals for both his events in Kata and Kumite (Age 8 – 9 years old).
The karate meet was part of the of anniversary celebration of the Shin Shin Karate Organization in cooperation with YMCA Baguio. The meet is in memory of William Bawingan, the founder of the Shin Shin Karate Organization.
