"They don't show up to get everything they want; they show up to give everything they have."

Proven in combat, the sweat and willpower of the brave athletes of Julia Ortiz Luis National High School paid off as they set the tone in the Triangular Meet 2025 last September 5, 2025 at Talavera National High School.

After grabbing the title of being champions, they also opened the door to another title hunt with a lot of competitors, but this time at the Congressional District Meet on September 25, 2025—where the fight for the ticket to the Provincial Meet 2025 awaits.

The court turned into a battlefield of speed, mindset, and skills as Julia Ortiz Luis National High School smashed its mark in the 2025 District Meet, held last September 1, 2024. At the Sto. Domingo Trade School, both the boys and girls doubles teams of badminton rose to the challenge, earning their way to their hard-earned victory, which is the Triangular Meet.

Taking the spotlight in the girls net, Margarette Dela Cruz and Ranica Amyr Salamanca buckle up with confidence on their faces and steady yet shaking nerves.

They made them write a score of 21-16 and 21-19 on their side effortlessly against Susana S. Liwag Integrated School.

“Teamwork ay mahalaga, having good coordination and communication.
In sports, teamwork isn't just about skill but also about having trust and respect,” Salamanca expressed after the win.

In the boys area, power-packed duo Ejay Lazo and Abdiel Abalos displayed fireworks as they slayed every smash and serve around with the same intensity. With powerful smashes and tricky placings, they kept dominating each play against Susana S. Liwag Integrated School with commanding scores of 21-8 and 21-11.

“Disiplina lang sa sarili at wag mawalan ng pag asa sa lahat ng laban,” Abalos said shortly with all his heart, despite that sometimes we are already going to fall, don't lose hope, always look up.

Amidst the burning atmosphere, Dela Cruz, Salamanca, Lazo, and Abalos stood out in the District Meet with amazing plays. Each smash they delivered was full of strength and precision, leaving the crowd in awe. Their victory here is a testament to their hard work, these talented JOLNHS badminton players will advance to the next round, this Triangular Meet 2025.

The sun blazed down on the track as the runners crouched low, eyes locked on the lane ahead, a sharp crack, and in an instant, the race for speed had begun. Speed has many faces, and this month, it belongs to four determined Jolians athletes—Dave Ruz, John Denver Mendoza, Mark Lawrence Cinio, and Kimberley Samonte—each of whom brought a powerful start for Julia Ortiz Luis National High School (JOLNHS) during the Sto. Domingo District meet Boy's and Girl's Long Distance Run, earning the chance to compete in the upcoming triangular meet.

Starting the game, Ruz, a first-time competitor in athletics, made an impressive debut by capturing a gold medal in the 100-meter sprint with a time of 12.25 seconds.

In the 400-meter run, Denver Mendoza, driven by perseverance, blazed through the muddy track in the field in 59.88 seconds. “Masaya po, dahil dalawang taon na akong naglalaro ng athletics pero hindi pinapalad. Pero hindi ako tumigil, kaya ngayong taon nakamit ko na ang tagumpay,” Mendoza said.

Leading the way, Cinio proved his dominance on the track after bagging 2 gold medals in the 500-meter and 800-meter distance runs. His back-to-back victories showcased his endurance to rise above every challenge. “Para sa akin, yung mga hamon na naranasan ko ay yung mahihirap na training na ginagawa namin,” Cinio shared. “Pero kaya naman mahirap yung training namin ay para maging malakas kami."

Not to be outshined, Samonte also blazed her way to double glory in the Girls’ Long Distance Run. Striding with the bliss of lightning, she captured gold medals in both the 100-meter and 200-meter events. Their victories brought pride to JOLNHS and secured a spot for the upcoming Triangular meet, where they will once again test their strength against the best.

“Victory feels best when it ends with a Cho! ”

Each paddle and table shook with energy when Julia Ortiz Luis National High School showed us what it truly means to play by giving out crunch times to their respective opponents at the District Meet on September 1, 2025, that took place in the Sto.

Faye Ellana P. Manzano was a beast. Chilling but with a lot of pierce in her, she closed the match in close and straight sets, 3–0, with scores of 11–7, 11–8, and 13–11. Each point secured her nerves shook, but Manzano never flinched. Her last set ended with her opponent, Denis Mae Mangahas’ spike sailing out of the table, sealing her propounded victory.

“I started the game without feeling nervous until I gained momentum. After continuously getting scores, I already put in mind that I will win the match. But still, I stayed focused until the end,”- Manzano stated.
