Kurt Cobain Dogol-gogol vowed to redeem himself after his first loss, 11-4, 13-11 in the City Meet Table Tennis Singles A Boys to Roland Hechanova of Bayan Luma 2 held at Imus Pilot Elementary School on August 20. But on their next and final encounter, Dogol-dogol’s valiant effort bore no fruition, 11-7, 11-9 as he succumbed to Hechanova’s quick counters and on-point paddlings.
“Babawi na lang ako next year. Grade 4 pa lang naman ako. Natalo ko na nga sya sa Game 2 eh,” promised the Uno paddler in an interview. Dogol-dogol’s successful first encounter with Hechanova, 10-12, 13-15 gave the Alapeño his much-needed confidence for a comeback bid.
“Kurt showed a very promising game. Next year he’ll be a stronger competitor. Hard work lang. I always tell my athletes ‘Hard work works better than luck’,” said Ariel Espartero, Covain’s coach. Dogol-dogol short stature may not have hindered his paddling prowess but this proved insufficient as his 3-2 record fell short for a Regional Sports Competition slot.

Perhaps the most pressing challenges the school faces are that of ensuring that all learners become competent readers. Learners who experienced problems in reading quickly fall behind their more skilled classmates in their ability to decode and comprehend text. The initiative is in response to the rapidly changing learning environment of present and future learners and will introduce aggressive reforms to globalize the quality of basic education in the Philippines.
