THE Philippines may be a tropical country, but Filipinos have shown that they can excel international figure skating. Athletes like Michael Christian Martinez, recognized as the first southeast Asian figure skater to make it to the Winter Olympics, then held in Sochi, Russia back in 2014, and then most recently, 16-year-old Sofia Frank and the pair of Isabella Gamez and Alexander Korovin, are just some of the few names hogging the sports headlines.

Thankfully, this December, you could get the chance to come and watch homegrown elite athletes sparkle and shine on ice!
