BAGO CITY, Negros Occidental ? Bago City-hailed Junel Cantancio and Rogen Lagon, who both won gold and silver medals, respectively, in the recently-concluded 28th Southeast Asian Games in Singapore get cash incentives from the City Government of Bago.
Cantancio ruled over Vietnam?s Van Hai Nguyen, 2-0 in the men?s lightweight finals while, Ladon bowed to his Indonesian rival Kornelis Kwangu Langu, 2-1.
The resolution filed by Councilor Donald Alvarez was unanimously approved by the members of the Sangguniang Panlunsod during Thursday?s regular session.
Based on Resolution 15-160, both boxers brought honor and pride to the Bago City and should accordingly recognize and rewarded.
