The annual event is part of PTA’s time-tested grassroots program, where the growth and progress gained by every taekwondo jin through the association’s systematic methods of teaching will be put on display.
Interestingly, participants as young as four years old are among the expected 1,000 contestants from various regions who will take part in the one-day event that has the full backing of the Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee and Milo.
