Davao City’s Rexor Tacay won a silver medal in karatedo for the Philippines in the ongoing 29th Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Tacay, a son of the late Philippine Shotokan Karatedo Association founder Ricardo in Davao City, bowed to Thailand’s Supa Ngamphuengphit in the finals of the men’s Kumite below 67 kg to settle for the silver.
By far, the Philippines’ karatedo team has won two silver and two bronze medals.
The other silver was courtesy of Jason Macaalay, who bowed to Malaysia’s Senthil Al Silvarajao in the Men’s Kumite below 60 kg.
OJ Delos Santos claimed a bronze medal in the Men’s Individual Kata event while Junna Tsukii pocketed the bronze in Women’s 50kg kumite.
