REGION 11 is again considered as one of the early favorites in the secondary boxing event of this year's Palarong Pambansa slated on May 3-9 in Tagum City.

Region 11 team is composed of Panabo NHS' Christian Betonio, Jiple Jay Cabrera and John Benedict Cadavido, Compostela Valley's Jave Laurence Arguelles and Anibongan NHS-Carmen's John Michael Diocares. Coach is Jonas Jerusalem of Panabo City.

They are Dennis Dave Cosina and Jayson Mama of Dadiangas North High School and Chris Russu Laurente of Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges of Gensan.

Their two other teammates from Region12 are Kenneth Equinan of Libertad National High School of Surallah and Richard Sequino of Polomolok NHS of South Cotabato.
