This national recognition is a testament to the athletes’ years of hard work, the commitment of their coaches and support staff, and the collective effort of the Philippine wrestling community.

The Wrestling Association of the Philippines remains committed to developing world-class athletes, strengthening grassroots programs, and supporting our national team as they continue to raise the Philippine flag in international competitions.
Once again, congratulations to our Bayaning Atleta. Your victories inspire the next generation of Filipino wrestlers and remind us all what excellence, sacrifice, and patriotism truly mean.
