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.
Betonio, Cabrera and Cadavido are all part of the Barangay Una boxing program of former Congressman Tonyboy Floirendo and current 2nd District Representative Anton Lagdameo.
Cadavido is a two-time gold medalist in Batang Pinoy while Cabrera is a Palaro veteran.

"The boys have trained hard for this," said coach Dick Varron, a former national team and Arafura Games gold medalist.
Region 12, however, is also a team to watch composed of three fighters from the home of 8-world division champion Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao.

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.

Region 10, on the other hand, will be bannered by Mark Vincent Cailing and Ronilo Layasan Jr., both of Maigo NHS; Regemelyn Namocatcat of East Gusa-Cagayan de Oro, Aljum Pelesio of Molugan NHS of El Salvador City and Diosdado Tabac Jr. of Bukidnon.
Region 9 of Zamboanga Peninsula is composed of Joven Amatiad, Owen Enricuso, Jerald Into, Jude Jaictin and Melchecedic Lumayag, all from the Zamboanga del Sur Sports Academy of Pagadian City. LITO DELOS REYES
