Central Luzon, Western Visayas bets break Palaro records in secondary boys' 400m race, discus throw
ILOCOS NORTE - Two more meet records have been shattered after rising athletes from Central Luzon and Western Visayas flaunted record-breaking performances in the 2025 Palarong Pambansa in Ilocos Norte. Central Luzon's Alfred Talplacido set the record in the secondary boys' 400m race after clocking in 48.10 seconds to break the previous 48.7 mark set by Jomar Udtohan in 2014. Talplacido also bested John Clinton Abetong of Region IV-A (CALABARZON) and Kian Labar, who bagged the silver and bronze medals after registering 48.61 and 48.92 seconds, respectively. Meanwhile, another athletics ace in Josh Gabriel Salcedo of Western Visayas-Antique likewise broke the record in the secondary boys' discus throw after posting a throw of 45.52m. Salcedo broke the 42.86m-finish of Airex Gabriel Villanueva in 2023. Silver medalist Zachary Lawig of Baguio had actually broken the previous record as well after posting 43.92m, but fell short of Salcedo winning mark. Samar's Rolando Tingzon captured the bronze with a 41.99m finish. Earlier, Bacolod bet Mico Villaran eclipsed a 15-year-old record in the secondary boys' 110m hurdles after finishing the race in 14.00 seconds. —JMB, GMA Integrated News
