Karl Jahrel Eldrew Poquiz Yulo remembers his latest competition in Marriott Manila in Pasay City, bagging the bronze medal for the men's floor exercise during the 3rd Artistic Gymnastics Junior World Championships held on November 15 to 26, 2025.

His preparation for the said competition lasted for more than a year—8 months in which he trained in Japan—travelling back-and-fourth rigorously.

“Sobrang hirap, kasi ibang culture, iba [rin] yung facility, rules, and economy,”

Yet the difference in altitude did not hinder his resilience to push through, remembering his four-year-old self falling in love in the sport because of his grandfather that always brings him to gym.

Not forgetting his brother—Carlos Edriel Poquiz Yulo as his biggest inspiration in his career, from being a little kid watching his kuya compete to being the one to take the center stage.

His story continues to inspire many young generations to not conform and make our inspiration a beacon to be resilient in the things we find ourselves also inspiring others to believe.

𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 | 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆

There we stood—the sidelines of a court—cheering, howling, roaring for our cluster’s players as if our lives depended on it. To another’s perspective, it may have even looked a tad foolish, yelling simply because a player managed to gain three points… Perhaps, it may have even looked boastful—for we shouted out nonsensical words to uplift our team’s spirit.

To many others, it looked and sounded silly. But to us, the ones cheering and laughing—it meant so much more. And for just a mere moment, we weren’t just cheering; we were making memories, something we would look back on with a smile—we were making history.

The Intramurals left us all with varying sentiments. That much is true.

To some, it may have left them disappointed—unsatisfied. To many, the season may have left them wanting more. And to the fortunate few, it left them with a heart swollen with pride, for they’ve won the championshop title. Large smiles upon their faces—maybe even reaching their ears—as they leave the court with glowing, gilded medals hung around their necks and a shining trophy in their hands.

Regardless, there is one thing we can all agree upon—one thing that this season has left us, despite being divided by clusters and teams, win or lose, we all received
something more special than a golden cup.

This spirited festival that lasted for a few days left us all with a beaming heart of joy, and mementos that would last a lifetime.

Every January 9, Filipino Catholics gather in Quiapo to celebrate the Feast of the Black Nazarene. Focused on the life of the dark-skinned statue of Jesus Christ carrying the cross, devotees believe that touching the statue can bring luck, blessings, and miracles.

The annual procession, known as the Traslacion, draws a massive crowd to walk from Quirino to Quiapo barefoot. The feast also reflects Filipino culture’s devotion. It’s a reminder of faith, where faith go beyond hardships.
