CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela – The City of Ilagan collected three gold medals at the 4th Brillante International Dancesport Championship held at the Orchard Hotel in Singapore over the weekend.
City General Services Officer and designated sports coordinator Ricky Laggui said the city’s homegrown talents proved that they can excel in international competitions as the team also won five silvers and a bronze to finish fourth in the annual competition.
“The continuing support, love and trust of the local officials to the children has been spurring motivation to bring more honors for the City of Ilagan in the regional, national and international competitions,” said Laggui, who accompanied the team in Singapore.
