4 ATHLETES CYBER MUSCLE TEAM, AIM NEW PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POWERLIFTING RECORDS (November 7, 2016)

Article by Joan Masangkay, one of our young athletes, reporting on Philippine Powerlifting. Enzo Williams edited them.

Powerlifting Philippines – Joan Masangkay

One of them is World Powerlifting Deadlift Record Holder Joan Masangkay. She now competes in the 18yrs age category. Also, Masangkay plans to set a new High school division record & in the sub-junior division at the 43kg weight class.

Masangkay said she would break the national record in the high school division, Veronica Ompod. Ompod, a native of Catbalogan Samar, hold’s a record in the high school division (Squat-85kg, Bench Press-42.5kg, Deadlift-100kg, Total-227.5kg).

Another lifter from Cyber Muscle Team is Jessa Mae Tabuan, a 13yr old girl with 3 division Philippine National Records in 31kg, 35kg & 39kg weight classes.

While Tabuan said she trained hard for this competition, she plans to break another new national record in the 43kg developmental weight class division. The strong girl also said she is thrilled because her Head coach Cirilo Dayao and Assistant Father, coach Lope Tabuan always support her gym training.

Coach Cirilo Dayao said besides Joan Masangkay & Jessa Mae Tabuan, he has 2 Boys who are developmental players.

They will also compete at the 2016 LUZON OPEN & NATIONAL INTERSCHOOL & DEVELOPMENTAL POWERLIFTING CHAMPIONSHIPS, held on November 5 & 6 at Fisher Mall Quezon City.

Coach Dayao said he is sure that two boys of his Team Cyber Muscle Gym will break four national records.

Powerlifting Philippines – Son of a Jeepney Driver

One of his players is Ivan Ace Flores, ten sons of A jeepney driver. While Flores said, he is very thankful to his coach Cirilo Dayao because he adopted him.

Also, before, Flores was living in the jeep with his Father and was a street child.

Flores made friends with the son of Coach Cirilo also a powerlifter. Cirilo’s son convinced him to start training for Powerlifting in their gym. Hence Flores agreed I want to teach Powerlifting.

So Cirilo,111, approaches his Father and personally introduces his friend to his Father. Cirilo 111 told his Father that his friend wanted to try Powerlifting, so his Coach Dayo said, yes, why not?

If he has the determination to learn & wants to be a world champion in Powerlifting someday, I’m willing to help him. He started the program for Ivan Ace; in just two months, the Boy is ready to compete in the Powerlifting event.

Yet coach Cirilo Dayao wants him to break a national record in the 38kg weight class category. The record holder in the 38kg weight class was Anthony Obias of the Leyte Sports Academy Team. He holds the record for (Squat-52.5kg, Bench Press-25kg, Deadlift-55kg, and Total-122.5kg).

They plan to break the squat competition record to lift in the 2nd or 3rd attempt.

Then in the bench press in his first attempt, coach Dayao wants him to lift 26kg to break the Philippine record for Obias and the Deadlift competition.

Aside from Ivan Ace and his youngest son Jose 111 Dayao, they plan to break Philippine National Powerlifting Record in the 33kg weight class category.
