Ormoc City is ready to cheer as its athletes carry the city’s pride to the 33rd Southeast Asian Games.
This as 19 athletes from Ormoc will represent the Philippines in three sports at the SEA Games, scheduled from December 9 to 20, 2025, in Bangkok, Chonburi, and Songkhla, Thailand.
Their journey reflects years of disciplined training and a citywide commitment to sports development. Central to their success is the Support to Athletes in Pursuit of Accomplishing Total Life-Changing Opportunities in Sports (S.A.P.A.T.O.S.) Program.
Supported by the Local Government Unit of Ormoc under 4th District Representative Richard Gomez and City Mayor Lucy Torres Gomez, the program has helped the city become a hub for athletic excellence.
Through strategic investments, forward-looking programs, and a solid athletic framework, Ormoc has earned a reputation as a cradle of champions, producing athletes ready to compete on the international stage.
In Fencing, Alexa Larrazabal, Juliana Marie Beatriz Torres Gomez, and Ivy Claire Dinoy will compete in the Women’s Épée category.
In Compak Shooting, Congressman Richard I. Gomez, Carlo Baltonado, and Jed Rivilla will represent the country in Compak Sporting and Sporting Clays.
In Modern Pentathlon, Michael Ver Comaling, Joseph Anthony Godbout, Samuel German, Melvin Sacay, Eliza Maureen Ecalla, Princess Honey Arbilon, Juliana Shane Sevilla, Shyra Mae Arranzado, Kyle Aldrich Vilos, Sheska Rose Dejaño, Kydie Ashriel Guinto, and Jessly Roman will compete under the national colors.
In Basketball, Robert Bolick will join the Philippine team.
As the SEA Games approach, Ormoc rallies behind its athletes — proud, inspired, and eager to see the city’s name shine in every event.
