The local government of Orani, Bataan on Monday recognized its homegrown athlete Erin Mattea Micor for winning gold in the Open Lady Practical Shooting event of the 2025 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
The recognition was held during the town’s flag ceremony at the Orani covered court.
Mayor Jon Arizapa cited Micor’s achievement as a source of pride for the municipality. “Ngayong Lunes, ating binigyang pagkilala ang natatanging galing na ipinamalas ni Erin Mattea Micor matapos niyang makamit ang gintong medalya sa Open Lady Practical Shooting sa SEA Games 2025,” he said.
(“This Monday, we recognized the exceptional skill shown by Erin Mattea Micor after she won the gold medal in the Open Lady Practical Shooting event at the SEA Games 2025.”)
Arizapa added that Micor’s victory brings honor not only to Orani but also to the country.
Micor, 17, was the youngest competitor in the women’s open practical shooting category at the regional games held in Thailand. She secured the gold medal with a score of 1,399.3154 points, contributing to the Philippines’ four gold medals in practical shooting at the event.
Beyond the SEA Games, Micor also earned medals at the IPSC Handgun World Shoot 2025, where she emerged as Open Lady Shoot-Off Champion, Open Ladies Team gold medalist, and Open Lady silver medalist.
A student of Colegio de San Juan de Letran Bataan, Micor has expressed hopes of competing in more international tournaments in the United States and Europe.
