CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — After kicking his way as a double gold medalist in the recent 2011-2012 National Karate Championship, Bryan Fontillas of the famed Fernandino Karate Kids is now the youngest member of the Philippine Karate Team or the Philippine “Typhoons.”
Bryan is the second in a brood of five siblings – Marimar, Christian Jonathan, Jasper and China-all national karatedo champions who have brought honor and glory to the city with their moves.
Bryan just arrived last Thursday from Busan, Korea, where he bagged the silver and bronze medals in the International Karatedo Junior, Cadet and Children Game tournament hosted by the Korea Karatedo Federation on August 20 and 21.
“We are very happy and proud that Bryan proved his worth in the Korea Karate 1 World Cup in Busan as the youngest member of the Philippine Typhoons. He is actually the first Fernandino to become a member of the Philippine Karate Team,” said Bryan’s father Deo Fontillas.
He said that Bryan’s sister Marimar is also foreseen to make it to the women’s team and see action in similar international tournaments.
“We just hope that our cabalens would support our Kapampangan Karate Kids as they continuously bring honor not only to the city and Pampanga , but the whole country as well,” said Fontillas.

Pineda noted that drainage facilities in the town are too narrow and most of them are not even functional.
“Mababa na ang tubig sa ilog, pero yung tubig sa Barangay Pasig ay hindi pa rin umaalis,” she said.
It was learned that Marisol Guevarra Briones, officer-in-charge of a rice mill in Barangay Pasig, called the attention of barangay chairman Celestino Magpayo about the problem.
Magpayo admitted that the waterways could no longer contain the volume of water as some of them are already blocked by mud deposits, including garbage.
However, he promised to clean them using the small budget of the barangay.
“Apektado na ang lahat dito, estudyante, manggagawa, kawani ng gobyero at maliliit na negosyante kaya dapat tumulong na rin dito ang munisipyo,” a concerned resident here said.
