Marcos Memorial Stadium aquatics center here.
The 12-year-old Mr. Sia from San Juan City made ripples in his first Palaro plunge, resetting the marks in elementary boys’ 200m freestyle and 100m backstroke with an ultimate goal of winning all his seven events — no less than at the home province of Ilocano Shark and two-time Olympic medalist Teofilo Yldefonso.
