2012 Philippines Mens All Throwing Events Final Rankings
Shotput
Sunang
SEA Games fourth place getter and National Record Holder Eleazer Sunang led the Shot put Rankings with 15.58m. Albeit his best is 16.35m. The bar has really been raised now for SEA Games qualification with the bronze medal criteria now 17.08m. Sunang is well ahead of the rest of the list.
The up comer is Richie Cabanyog of Bacolod and now at DLSU Taft who broke the one year old Palaro Record with a heave of 13.90, and set a personal best of 14.15m at the regional s with the 6kg shot. Cabanyog however using the senior shotput (7.26kg) could only manage a much smaller throw of 12.63m.
Meanwhile with the 6kg shotput UST Gary Santiago set a UAAP Record for Boys. The Criteria for the ranking list in shotput in 2013 remains the same as 2012 at 12.50m.
.
Discus
The Discus was led by Hammer Thrower Arneil Ferrera, followed closely by 39 year old national throws coach Nixon Mas. The Criteria for Discus remains at 37.00m for 2013. The most impressive performance was by 16 year old Regan Contic of Baguio who is one to watch out for after throwing 41.17m during the weekly relays and winning the junior discus at the Philippine Nationals
.
Hammer Throw
Arniel Ferrera
4x SEA Games Champion Arniel Ferrera again easily led the ranking lists again. Four other athletes joined him on the list. Impressive newcomer to the list was Matt Crespo of Ateneo who shattered his own boys record in the Hammer Throw at the UAAP. The criteria remains 38m for inclusion in the ranking lists in 2013.
.
Javelin
Veteran Record Holder and former SEA Games Champion Danilo Fresnido clung onto the lead for another season. The 40 year old was closely followed by Gusti Pido who is now based in Taipei and Run4Changes UAAP Champion Kenny Gonzales who both improved on their personal best throws. The SEA Games standard for this event is 66.02m, and as a silver medalist last sea games this does not make Fresnido exempt from the SEA Games qualification. Also returning was former Junior Champion Allanloid Lumbao who finished fourth at the National Games. Impressive was newcomer Joshua Patulad who shattered the boys record at the UAAP in Javelin. The Criteria has been raised from 54m to 54.30m in 2013 for the rankings.
.
“The Throwers Circle, being headed by the current National Throwing Champions (Ferrera, Fresnido, Mas) will be coming up with regular National Ranking Lists, in tandem with their semi-annual National Throwing competition
It is my hope that this data will help the organization.These will be released every week to two weeks.Feel free to post any comments, questions, additions or corrections to this page, pinoyathletics@gmail.com or the Facebook Group.

2012 Philippine Mens All Jumps Final Rankings (merged) (rev 2)
Eleven Men Long Jump over Seven Meters in 2012!
Henry Dagmil
2012 has been the best season in terms of depth ever in terms of athletes over seven Meters. With just four in 2011, and three in 2010 and five in 2009. Leading the list again is Olympian and National Record Holder Henry Dagmil (7.71m). He is followed by 2011 SEA Games Bronze Medalist Benigno Marayag (7.37m) and Triple Jump National Record Holder Joebert Delicano (7.24m) the trio finished in that order at the National Games.
A group of youngsters followed the three veteran jumpers. Juliam Reem Fuentes (7.29m) the Palaro Record Holder now at CSB. Nino Espinosa 7.15m silver at the vietnam open last year (7.42m PB), decathlete and run for change’s Jesson Ramil Cid (7.08m) SEA Games 400m Silver medalist Archand Bagsit (7.06m to win NCAA), Uni Games Champion Mark Fabro (7.06m), Uni Games Silver Medalist Harry Diones (7.06m), and 18 year-old Uni Games Bronze medalist Janry Ubas (7.01m), and Jebbie Rebucas of WVRAA (7.00m).
The rise in depth in this event means the criteria to be ‘Ranked’ next year means a standard raised from 6.80m to 7.00m. Very good depth as well as four of the top ten of all time are currently active with 7.35m being the criteria to make the top ten.
A leap of 7.00m or over is required to make the ranking lists in 2013, this was 6.80m for this year.
.
Triple Jump Mens
Jumping Joe leads the Mens Ranking List
SEA Games veteran and National Record Holder Joebert Delicano marginally leads the Triple Jump list with 15.20m. 32 year old Delicano holds the Phil record at 16.12m. It will take another new national record for Delicano, as SEA Games bronze standard is 16.14m this shouldn’t be too far out of his reach.
Upcoming Ernest Ybanez of Cebu showed a return to form with 15.08m, just 3cm off the leap he registered to win the Junior National Title in 2010. Magcusang and Ubas were new comers to this list. While the Diones brothers finally broke long standing personal best performances at the Uni Games. The set standard remains at 14.00m for 2013.
.
High Jump: Lasangue qualifies for SEA Games
Manuel aka. JR Lasangue
Last year three jumpers all cleared 2.00m, this year only Lasangue who led the list has managed to achieve that feat again. Lasangue from Iloilo improved his best leap which was established way back in 2010 when he won the University Games for WIT. His leap of 2.10m is good enough to make the SEA Games bronze medal standard. Albeit according to the SEA Games ranking list he will need to jump 2.15m+ who actually win a SEA Games medal.
Despite balancing a busy full time job at Meralco, Lasangue switched back from Decathlon to High Jump and the change back has paid off with a SEA Games qualification. Lasangue is coached by National Record Holder Sean Guevarra who also hails from Iloilo.
Ray Cris Capispan and Andrew Wilson who both leapt 2.00m, seem to have faded out of the picture this year with leaps of 1.97 and 1.90m.
The top new comer this year is Janry Ubas who has improved his best leap to 2.00m at the UAAP he won the high jump in 1.95 and surprisingly cleared higher during the decathlon, albeit the 18 year old is very far from the immortal junior record of Fil-Heritage Luis Juico 2.16m which has stood untouched since 1987.
Also on the list is SCUAA Champion (400m runner) Christopher Demata , PRISAA Champion Gavin Genil and National Junior Champion Jayson Calpa.
The criteria cut off for the high jump is 1.90 for 2012 and 2013.
.
Two Fil-Heritage Vaulters begin journey for the SEA Games
Caleb Monticalvo
The Discovery of two Fil-Heritage Jumpers who ranked second and third in SEA Rankings this year has breathed new life into an event which has not won a gold medal since Edward Lasquette in 1995.23 year old Caleb Monticalvo (5.03m) who competes in Division 2 from California and 22 year old Julio Alorro (4.91m) from New Jersey who competes in Division 3 in the States will get there season under way in a few weeks with their quest to regain the glory for the Philippines in this event.
Former SEA Games representative 30 year old Jerome Margallo is well behind with a 4.56 indoor jump and a no jump at the National Games. National Junior record holder 17 year old EJ Obiena also has a 4.41 indoor leap. While Masters record holder and National Champion Emerson Obiena has leapt 4.38m indoors.
.
Obiena Breaks Junior Records Multiple Times
The future of men’s pole vault in the Philippines looks very bright thanks to the well established Philippine Pole Vault Club and there supporters. If the performances of two new fil-heritage discoveries show promise for the 2013 SEA Games. The event is truly in very safe hands with another upcoming star EJ Obiena the son of veteran Pole Vaulter and Coach Emerson Obiena. EJ has broken the national record multiple times now taking the mark 4.25, 4.30, 4.40, and then 4.50 meters at the UAAP. The Ateneo freshman also broke the UAAP Record of Margallo set 6 years ago.
There is very good overall depth in the Pole Vault with half of the top ten vaulters of all time active this season with 12 jumpers leaping over 4.00m which is equal to last year with nine in 2010, and seven in 2009. Seven vaulters went over 4.20 compared to five last year. Due to this improvement the standard to make the list in 2012 now is 4.00m no longer 3.90m.
Adel Valdecenas also set a personal best and Gorby Pajardo put himself at #10 on the junior all time list.
It is my hope that this data will help the organization.These will be released every week to two weeks.Feel free to post any comments, questions, additions or corrections to this page, pinoyathletics@gmail.com or the Facebook Group.

Philippine Mens 110 and 400 Hurdles Final Ranking List 2012 (rev 1)
Philippines Mens 110m Hurdles
Patrick Unso
It was a very exciting year for an event which still lags behind the SEA Games standard. For eleven years the National Record of Alonzo Jardin (14.75) stood as the bench mark for every hurdler in the country but also reminded the athletic community how far behind we were from winning a sea games medal in this event. This all changed last year when Patrick Unso despite finishing sixth in the SEA Games broke both the Junior and the Senior record with a run of 14.58.
Unso recorded 14.78 at the UAAP, but this was surpassed as the season leader by Darwin Tuliao former UST athlete studying at Chinese Cultural University in Taipei. He improved his best time to 14.74 which became the 2nd fastest time ever, finishing fourth at the University Games of Taipei. Unso later bettered this by winning the PNG in 14.65.
After finishing runner up to his brother Jose Unso at the UAAP Finals in December Patrick bounced back to win silver in the ASEAN University Games in Laos clocking 14.49 and breaking his SEA Games record. This put him closer to the SEA Games standard set in that race for the bronze medal is obtainable but difficult at 14.14.
There were a couple of very quick yet, doubtfully fast times by Juniors Michael Man-ay and Lorenzo Capajo at the PNG aswell continuing on the strong tradition of junior hurdlers. It was Capajo who had the upset win over Man-ay who was third last year at the PNG behind Unso, and Robert Francisco. Fransico was not able to race at the PNG where he would have been the favorite in the junior division due to injuries sustained at the NCAA.
The Criteria cut off for the 110 Hurdles 15.1 (ht) and 15.34 (et) for both senior and junior heights remains for 2013.
.
400 Hurdles an Unso for every occasion
BANO!!!
It was Junrey Bano (4th in SEA Games) who led the lists with another consistent sub 52 clocking of 51.84. Both sons of the National Record Holder Renato Unso (51.26) in this event featured in both the 100 and 400 Hurdle ranking lists. Patrick recorded a PB of 53.82, and Jose more recently at the weekly relays broke his 4 year old best time of 54.0 with a 53.6 clocking. Unso followed this up by winning the mens 400 Hurdles at the UAAP with the 110 Hurdle title in 53.59. The criteria cut off of 56.24/56.0ht remains for 2013.
It is my hope that this data will help the organization.These will be released every week to two weeks.Feel free to post any comments, questions, additions or corrections to this page, pinoyathletics@gmail.com or the Facebook Page.
2012 Philippine Mens 3k to Marathon Final Ranking List (merged)
3K to 5K Ranking List
Herrera makes friends with Mo Farah after despite finishing last he set a new PB in the 5k.
The top three spaces as usual were taken by three Veterans of the sport. Olympian 33 year old Rene Herrera topped the list with his 5k effort at the Olympic Games 14:44.11. The two 34 year olds Eduardo Buenavista who holds the national record in the 10k, won the 5k at the National Games in 15:11.59, close behind him was another SEA Games veteran Julius Sermona in 15:13.05.
*NB. Correction reported before Herrera had qualified for sea games however his time of 14:44.11 is just outside the 14.41.30 standard.
New Kids on the block Rafael Poliquit (FEU) a had significant improvement reducing his best time from 15:35.4 last year to 15:25.1 en route to winning the University Games in Bacolod. His run for change team mate Richard Salano reduced his time significantly as well from 15:42 to 15:29.5. It was however there team mate Christopher Ulboc that won the UAAP in the much highly anticipated match up taking his seasons best from 15:37.79 to 15:31
These two will surely challenge defending UAAP Champion and training pol athlete Christopher Ulboc (FEU) for his 5k title in December. Ulboc finished third in the National Games in 15:37.79 to 15.31.12. His performance just tucked him in behind Anthony Nerza of Brokenshire College for seventh place on the ranking lists.
Ulboc will have to dig deep to erase his four year old best time and run below 14:41.30 to qualify for the SEA Games.
The Criteria cut off for the 5k (15m45) in 2012 and will remain that for 2013.
.
Question for our poll is this is the UAAP 15:21.6 record of Ben Alejandrino (UST) set in 2006 in danger?
.
As per the poll Poliquit actually was closer to the 10k Record of Alejandrino .04s off it during the uaap, but his time at the ASEAN Uni Games was 4s below that mark.
It seems that the three veterans will hold on for at least this SEA Games while the University Age athletes need a bit more time to catch up. However when the next SEA Games in 2015 rolls around Herrera will be 36 and Buenavista and Sermona 37.
.
10k to 16.8k Ranking Lists
34 Year Old Julius Sermona leads the field at the PNG in Dumaguete.
Julius Sermona the National 10K Champion leads the list with 31:09.44 he has made the SEA Games Bronze standard of 31:22. Buenavista the National 10K Record Holder is second on the list. As in the 5k the old guard is still leading the new generation of runners. Four of the eleven listed are UAAP athletes with the remainder provincial or AFP athletes. As eleven names now appear on the list the criteria for next years list is reduced to 34m40 at this stage this of course could come down even further with new names on the list.
Closing however was Rafael Poliquit whose time was 14 seconds below the standing UAAP Record of Ben Alejandrino, unfortunately at the UAAP he was .04s away from it. But in the ASEAN Uni Games he captured the bronze in Laos.
The Criteria cut off for the 10k (35m00) however this for 2013 will be reduced to 34 minutes.
Marathon to Half Marathon
Buenavista top marathon man 2012
Junel Languido led the Half Marathon and Eduardo Buenavista was the fastest Filipino in the Milo Marathon Finals.
The criteria for these rankings is top 10 in each event.
It is my hope that this data will help the organization.These will be released every week to two weeks.Feel free to post any comments, questions, additions or corrections to this page, pinoyathletics@gmail.com or the Facebook Page
Philippine Mens 400m Final Ranking List 2012
Edgardo Alejan wins the silver medal in Hong Kong in the 400m.
It is my hope that this data will help the organization.These will be released every week to two weeks.Feel free to post any comments, questions, additions or corrections to this page, pinoyathletics@gmail.com or the Facebook Group.
- The Criteria cut off for the 400M 50.0 (ht) and 50.14 (et)
.
The 400m is the only sprint event where the Philippine men really feature in. Having won several titles over the years including Isidro Del Prado who was an asian champion. The Philippines enjoyed a streak of SEA Games Champions from 2001-2007 with Ernie Candelario (2001 & 2003), Jimar Aing (2005) and Julius Nierras (2007). The streak came to an end in the 2009 SEA Games, however 21 year-old Archand Bagsit finished with a closely fought silver in 2011.
Bagsit, Alejan, Bano and Nierras also were promoted to the gold medal at the SEA Games after Malaysia was disqualified when one of the four runners tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. Bagsit leads this season scoring a new personal best of 47.44 during the Thailand Grand Prix. His consistent streak of sub 48 runs means he is probably the favorite for the sea games gold. The other runners have a bit more work to do to make the second individual spot for SEA Games the standard sits at (47.97).
Cid was the major change on the list he improved his personal best to 48.05 in the decathlon in Thailand, and ran faster than the three entered in the individual event Bagsit, Alejan and Nierras. Certainly as it looks the relay will be Bagsit, Cid, Alejan and Nierras. The total is around 3:12 based on seasons best now which is still only in Bronze medal contention.
Alejan improved his best time to 48.41 getting second in the Hong Kong nationals and new kid Cid who is aiming to make the Decathlon qualifier also ran a new personal best of 48.44 getting third at the Singapore Nationals, Nierras who placed fourth in Singapore improved his seasonal best to 48.51 a much better run than his performance at the PNG.
Other runners such as Junrey Bano who has already qualified for SEA Games in the Hurdles and Isidro Del Prado Jr. (49.01) who was second at the National Games must beat the fourth placed time of 48.51 to qualify for the relay.
The Standard for this year was 50.0 and 50.14et and is being lowered to 49.8 and 50.0et. However the Philippines is not close to its mens list of 2005 when they had seven sprinters, five locals Candelario, Aing, Nierras, Tanuan, and Marfill and two fil-heritage athletes Kashus Perona and John Alipio run below 48 seconds that year.

Bagsit is always ready!
- The Criteria cut off for the 200M 22.4 (ht) and 22.64 (et)
.
SEA Games 400m silver medalist Archand Bagsit led the list with a PB of 21.67 enroute to winning the PNG. He was followed by UAAP Champion Jesson Ramil Cid who timed 21.82, which was unofficially a new UAAP Record (with wind reading). Edgardo Alejan Jr. who was silver medalist at the PNG was third with 21.94. Isidro Del Prado Jr. the son of the legend was the fourth runner in 2012 to dip under 22 seconds with 21.99.
The 200m rankings show a good mix of juniors and seniors. With 34 year old former SEA Games 400m champion Julius Nierras ranking twelth.
The Palarong Pambansa Champion of 2012 is not ranked the winning time of 23.2 is well below the standard required for this list and probably one of the slowest winning times in the events history, like wise is the national junior champion who recorded 23.3et. The absence of all the top juniors from the Junior Mens 200m at the National Games meant the event was a lot less competitive than previous years.
The New criteria in 2013 will be 22.36 and 22.1, this year it was 22.64 and 22.4. 25 athletes broke 22.64 up from 17 last year.

It was however the more impressive 4×400 lineup of Olarita, Rosales, Malacad and Pedrina whose time of 3:48.63 was the quickest time since 1993 by Filipina’s. Just 3.6s away from the SEA Games qualification standard.

Shot put
Like the Discus the national record has remained untouched in this event set by Consuela Salibis-Lacusong 37 years ago in Cebu City.
Veteran Heptathlete Narcisca Atienza, topped the High Jump, Heptathlon and Shot put ranking lists this year. Atienza (12.09m) was the only shot putter over 12 and 11 meters this year. The Shot put is still an event the Philippines is weak at with no medal chance at SEA Games for a long time. Atienza was followed by five juniors Sombilla, Tan, Terpstra , De Oro, and Isada who have thrown over 10 meters.
Sombilla and Tan finished first and second at the UAAP. Terpstra won the Junior title at the National Games and De Oro the Palaro Pambansa title.
This year eight athletes threw over 10m, compared to five last year. The standard for next years ranking increased from 9.50m to 9.80m.
.
Javelin

33 year-old Rosie (‘arr’) Villarito continued her dominance in this event with a seasons best of 48.84m. Villarito who was second at the Last SEA Games, is the 2009 SEA Games Champion.
Emerging junior Evalyn Palabrica was the most prominent Javelin Thrower this season however improving her best throw to 41.55m and then breaking Villarito Junior Record (44.54m) which had stood since 1998 with a 44.73m to win the UAAP and then representing the Philippines for the first time at the ASEAN Uni Games finished behind the SEA Games Gold Medalist from Indonesia with a throw of 45.43m again breaking her own Junior Record.
SEA Games silver medalist in the Heptathlon Narcisca Atienza was third (43.68m) this year on the rankings .
The emergence however of several promising juniors such as 18 year-olds Palabrica, and 2011 Palaro Champion Stephanie Cimatu (40.18m) and Fil-Heritage athlete Cerah Moren (38.42m) who is 13, showed that their is likely continuity of success in this event.
The Criteria for the Javelin this year was 36m, eight athletes exceeded this mark compared to five last year. The standard for 2013 rankings stays at 36.00m.
Discus
-
Maika De Oro one of the future stars of Philippine Athletics.
For 47 years Big ‘Joe’ de la Vina has held the national junior and 41 years the senior record in this event. The last athlete to win a medal at the SEA Games was now national coach Roselyn Hamero. The only athlete to throw over 40 meters since then has been Maikahn De Oro who registered 40.25m at the 2011 Palaro in Dapitan. The 18-year old De Oro from Bacolod leads the charge again this time with 38.96m to win the Junior title at Dumaguete.
19 year-old Twinkle Masilang (DLSU) is the UAAP Champion with 37.11m #9 all time lists. As the Discus and Shot put are events which athletes peak at a later age it is difficult with the retirement of collegiate athletes such as Judelyn Capistrano (RTU) and Micah Sibayan (Ateneo) to maintain continuity in these events.
Ira Mae Hernandez (UE) also improved her best throw to 36.88m.The Standard for this event was 30m but this is now increasing to 32.37m in 2013. In 2011 only four athletes exceeded 32m, this year it was ten.
.
Hammer
Loralie Sermona
Another veteran dominated this event which is the case in throwing events where athletes can peak into the 30+ age range. 31 year old SEA Games Bronze Medalist Loralie Amahit Sermona improved her national record to 50.23m. Read about it here. She was well clear of UAAP Champion Kenneth Grace Ferrera (FEU) whose 37.79m fell slightly short of the UAAP Record of Annabell Sioson.
The standard for Hammer was 27m in 2012, however it will be raised to 28m in 2013. Eight athletes threw over 29m in 2012 compared to six in 2011.

UAAP Records updated with full UAAP Results link
Firstly i would like to point out that several inaccuracies where present in the results of the UAAP Records attached to the official results. I will cover event by event my amendments and corrections to the list of records.
.
A Note on Hand Timed Performances
The first think to note is in regards to keeping of hand time records. While the UAAP board has decided to keep hand timed performances when electronic system has now been used since 2001 with the exception of 2011 when they reverted to the hand timed system (stop watches). For more information on hand timing protocol please refer to my previous article.
The thing to note is that hand timing is never rounded down so even if the time is .01 it is rounded up to .1 for record and official result keeping purposes.
Now in regards to the UAAP Records, it seems unnecessary to keep hand timed performances together with the electronic equivalent unless they are better than the electronic performance. I firmly believe we should keep Electronic timed records in every event where possible and restrict the number of hand timed performances based on the following criteria.
But what are we going to describe as better?
a) The hand timed performance is better e.g. 400m 54.1 looks better than 54.14.
b) according to the article on hand-timing and the widely accepted rule for track events +.24 is added to hand times in 100 and 200 and for events 400m up .14 is added therefore 54.1 is 54.24 so its not considered better officially. 54.0 would be the equivalent of a 54.14 electronic time.
Also i noticed for some of the records the hand time is being taken when an electronic time is available for that event in the official result. Hand timing when electronic timing is used is to serve up as a backup in case electronics system malfunctions. However the electronic time is the official result hence should not be over ruled by hand timing for record breaking purposes.
Summaries and Stats.
I have posted an amendment of UAAP records the best i can with the resources available to me, this revision project may involve having to access data which is only available to the UAAP Board that decides on records and i acknowledge there may be results i have overlooked. So I will post my amendments and leave it open to comment from the board and the athletic community before posting a review of each event which has an inaccuracy. That will open this subject up for discussion. Please note that this revision is only part way towards finalization.
.
Once again thanks to Coach Roselyn Hamero for providing the full results of the 75th 2012 UAAP, i have combined them all into one file for the statisticians and track nuts pleasure.
