The Need for Electronic Timing after protest filed in Mens 100m at Palaro
Article by Pirie Enzo, with contributions from National 100 and 200m Record Holder Ralph Waldy
Before i continue i would like to refer to a previous article i wrote which differentiates Hand timing and Electronic Timing.
i would like to see a clearer video. Ironically the stupid news writing blocks the view of the last frame of the crossing the line hence ruining the quality of the news video. I can tell due to the closeness of 1 and 2 there is no way that is a .2 difference of 11.1 and 11.3 .2 is around one or two strides.
To be honest the times in the final of the Palaro were a lot slower than the semi finals. Several coaches hand timed the top two athletes at around 10.8 and 10.9. Which begs into question the accuracy of the hand timing of the officials at the Palaro and whether we can really count these performances as certifiable by the IAAF.
Not trying to take anything away from the accomplishments of the athletes as winning a Palaro title (National High school) is still a big achievement for a young athlete. However there may have been cases where an athlete is robbed of a place or an accurate time. I’m not saying that this is an example of this as i need to see a clearer video than the one provided.
I cant make an accurate decision on if Nor actually won without seeing a better video. But what I do know is a lot of countries use electronic timing at HS and even at weekly meets. Its much fairer for the athletes if they have a photo finish in place.
.
We need to introduce Electronic timing and Photo Finish to the Palaro and other meets
That is why hand timing should never be really acknowledged. I mean, we are year 2013 already. Everything is on the technology age – why is it that a national HS competition still uses hand timing instead of electronic timing? Budget issues? Very shallow answer. Someone who’s in authority should lobby that to PSC and PATAFA should strongly push for this too.
Deped is in charge of the palaro not PATAFA or PSC anymore. Deped undoubtedly has the funds to hire an electronic system. I looked into the cost of electronics purchasing the equipment is atleast 60,000 USD. DEPED does have the budget to allocate towards hiring electronics. They just do not understand the importance as they are not as well informed as the PSC or PATAFA on sports.
Electronic Timing system is cheaper than that actually. I have a quotation from finish line coz were supposed to purchase that to support PATAFA events. If PATAFA can commit to us to convince other meets to use the system for at least 20 meets in a year then we can probably reconsider that previous plan. This should be a partnership with PATAFA project.
Palaro – Luzon finally wins the Gold, Avila overcomes heartbreak and De Josef breaks 800 record.
The Palarong Pambansa continued in Dumaguete with some very remarkable stories. A girl who never won an individual medal at the Palaro, a girl who spent three years in a row as the runner up in the 100m, and a first year high school student who broke the Palaro Record.
.
Avila overcomes heart break to become a champion
The True story of the games was NCR Marilyn Avila who after falling in the 100m Hurdles heats, came back to win the Girls 400m Hurdles in 1:04.3. At the expense of defending champion Jealyn Lancita of WV who finished third despite improving her best time from 1:05.6 to 1:05.4.
Rappler has wrote a very good report on Avila

The Bridesmaid finally wins the title
After three years in a row as the bridesmaid Eloisa Luzon of Northern Mindanao finally claimed the Palaro title in the 100m Dash. Luzon who had finished second behind Michelle Loterte, Jenny Rosales and then Maureen Emily Schrijvers qualified by far the fastest in the semi finals with a personal best of 12.2. In the final she secured a heroic victory into a big head wind in 12.6 seconds, ahead of her team mate Glaiza Salcedo. Salcedo who has recently came back to Track and Field after a short stint at Basketball was second in 12.8 seconds. Luzon will attempt to recapture the 200m title she won in 2010 as a first year high school student and secure the sprint double. Luzon performance ensured her selection into the ASEAN Youth Team for the Vietnam meet June 4-7.

14 Year old De Josef Impressive
14 Year old Angelica De Josef was impressive with a win in the girls 800m with a time of 2:17.2 breaking the Palaro Record 2:18.4. De Josef who is in her first year of High school at the Palaro represented the Western Visayas team.
.
Lirazan stops the Nor Express
Local favorite Christopher Lirazan had an upset win in the Boys 100m the times in the final were marred by a strong head wind with Lirazan emerging victorious in 11.1s. This was at the expense of 2011 Champion and PNG Junior Champion Romnick Nor who finished second in 11.3s, NCAA Boys Record Holder Jomar Utdohan was third for NCR in 11.3s also. Utdohan and Nor who have ran 10.7 and 10.6 were not able to cope with the strong wind aswell as Lirazan who has a best time of 10.9.
Lirazan also made it a sprint double winning the 400m in 49.7 beating 16 year old Jaime Mejia 50.1 of NCR. Mejia won the 110 Hurdles in 14.9 and 400 Hurdles in 55.3.

Luzon and Nor qualify fastest to finals on Day One of Palaro
Two promising young sprinters from Mindanao had the fastest qualifying times going into the final of the Palarong Pambansa at Dumaguete today.
Cotobato’s Romnick Nor, the 2011 Palarong Pambansa Champion, had the fastest time (allegedly 10.6 ht in semi finals). Nor, who previously represented ARMM, is looking at making a solid claim on the Palaro Record in the final where he will be up against 16 year old Jomar Udtohan of NCR, the NCAA Record Holder (10.7ht / 10.99et PB).
Meanwhile, after finishing silver in this event three years in a row, NMRAA’s Eloisa Luzon was by far the fastest qualifier to the finals in 12.2 seconds. Luzon, who finished behind Michelle Loterte, Jenny Rosales and then Mau Schrijvers, now looks at finally capturing the title of being the country’s fastest girl in high school.
16 year old Mary Anthony Diesto of Western Visayas won the Girls Triple Jump in a big personal best of 11.61m.

Filipino Track Records in Chaos Part 3: Palaro Records Tertiary Open Mens & Womens (rev 2)
After reviewing, reporting and making various adjustments/ammendments to the National, National Junior, UAAP and NCAA records. The later two still ongoing projects due to limited availability of result data from previous years. I will now be tackling the Palaro Records set by the Department of Education.
I will first be dealing with the Tertiary level Mens Records. It is important to note a few things here.
The BPISAA (Bureau of Public Interschoolastic Athletics Association) a previous incarnation of Department of Education started there Games in 1948 and this became the Palarong Pambansa in 1974. Due to the even scarce availability of data for these early meets I only have a snippet from a secondary source for the 1960 Games and due to the different nature of the games (was mainly an open and collegiate meet even at times serving as a National Championship meet). I will exclude the BPISAA results and begin with the Palaro Records in 1974. Although when i am next in the Philippines I would like to pursue a compilation of BPISAA results which may prove to be a bit of a treasure hunt.

Cebu’s Lindley Navaja tied the 35 year old Record of Aquilinio Onofre in the 100m equalling it with 10.5 (hand-timed)
Also what needs to be noted the Palarong Pambansa from 1984 to 1987 was suspended due to the events leading upto and following the EDSA Revolution. In 1987 the then DEPED Head Aparacio Mequi decided to reset all the Palarong Pambansa records. This was due to the fact that the DEPED board changed the rules, the last games in 1983 and prior allowed National level athletes to participate (such as Elma Muros and Lydia De Vega) who made the national team at the age of 14 and 15 for the SEA Games which meant they were also young enough to play High School level at Palaro. From 1988 onwards athletes of this caliber where no longer allowed to participate at the Palaro. For my listing purposes all Palaro results from 1974 onwards will be included in these lists.
Also to note is that some records were actually tied and reported as broken with only one holder. For the purpose of these lists ties will be considered co-record holders in the events.
Due to somewhat limited data these lists maybe due for amendment.
The first list is going to deal with Tertiary Men. Please note that CHED is also ran by DEPED so this is considered the Tertiary portion of the Palaro, sometimes they are combined. Also i am considering any open age athletes when they had an open age division for these Tertiary records. As Date of Birth is not important for open age due to it being ‘open age’ I have not been so particular on dates of Birth.

*Articles collected from the Manila Standard news reel archive. Articles are by many different writers.

The Palarong Pambansa was cancelled from 1984 to 1987 due to the events leading upto during and preceding the EDSA Revolution. The historic meet was revised in 1988 by then DEPED Head Aparacio Mequi. The 1988 edition was held at Misamis Oriental in Northern Mindanao.
While the results of 1988 where far from impressive compared to the pre 1983 editions, some new talents did emerge. On Day 1 (article above) a 15 year old from NCR named Robert Raquita won the 1500m erasing the 1982 Palaro Record.
The following day on March 16 (Day 2) Ferdinand Quitola wins Boys 3000 Meters.

The winners of the Boys (11.2) and Girls 100m (12.8) Albert Go went onto place fourth in the SEA Games 100m, and Edna Punelas went on to win golds as part of the womens relay teams at SEA Games level.
Host Northern Mindanao won the sprint double with Albert Go. The 16 year old Punelas aching to become Another Lydia De Vega led from start to finish as she took the girls 200 Meter in 26.3 seconds a brilliant followup to her triumph in the 100 meters Thursday.

According to this article Dated November 7. by Marian C. Baring of Sunstar
CEBU City has been producing the bulk of the athletes representing Region 7 (Central Visayas region) in the Palarong Pambansa. And now, Region 7 will be hosting the national meet in 2013.
That is why, in the Cebu City Olympics, set to open tomorrow, Thursday, at the Cebu City Sports Center, the pressure to come up with the best selection mounts.
“We will have the homecourt edge in the Palaro, so it gives us all the more reason to double our efforts to come up with the best team that will finally improve our finish in the Palarong Pambansa,” said Cebu City Schools Division Superintendent Rhea Mar Angtud.

Palaro 2013 in Bacolod Likely (from Visayan Daily Star)
(Aug 16) Bacolod is putting forward its case to hold the 2013 Palaro, citing that it has successfully co-hosted the 2005 SEA Games and was the main host of the 2011 1st PNG Games. The DEPED is 90% sure at this stage Bacolod will win the bid against other bidders Cebu and Dumaguete. Cebu who have got a brand new relaid track oval would also be a good choice after hosting last years National PRISAA. Dumaguete held the 2012 PNG Games and have one of the only 9 lane right around 400m tracks in the country.

Negros hosted four Palarong Pambansa in the past, two at the Panaad Park and Sports Stadium in Barangay Mansilingan in 1998 and 2000, and at the Paglaum Sports Complex in 1974 and 1979.*NAB
