Unheralded local bets Billie Blu Mondonedo, Maxene Hayley Uy, Sophie Rose Garra and Liv Abigail Florendo shared the limelight with other Filipino-foreigners on Sunday, Aug. 18, at the close of the Philippine Aquatics, Inc. 50-meter-long course National Trials at the crowded Teofilo Yldefonso Swimming Pool in Malate, Manila.
Mondenedo beat her teammate Arabella Nadeen Taguinota and Asian Age Group Championship campaigner Trixie Ortiguerra of Tarlac Mako to claim her third QTS in the event that served as selection for members of the Philippine Team which is set to participate in international tournaments including the SEA Age Group tilt in December in Bangkok, Thailand.
“It’s a dream come true. One step at a time, until I reach my goal to compete in a high-level competition, hopefully the Olympics in the future,” said Mondonedo.
