A Symbol of ‘Tibay at Tatag’
Representing the Philippines under the banner of “Tibay at Tatag,” Aranzado’s achievement is a testament to the rigorous training and unwavering spirit of Filipino student-athletes. Despite the pressure of international competition and the demands of her academic studies, she has brought immense honor to the university and the nation.
Her silver medal finish contributes to the Philippines’ strong showing in the Modern Pentathlon, solidifying the country’s position as a powerhouse in the sport.
