CEBU CITY, Philippines — Dumaguete City athletes on Tuesday delivered three gold medals for Central Visayas in the ongoing Palarong Pambansa 2023 in Marikina City.

This after, Silliman University’s Naina Dominique Tagle ruled the secondary girls 30-meter and 50-m archery events, while Emmanuel Fernandez of West City Elementary School topped the elementary boys 100m breaststroke.

Tagle scored 338 points in the 30m event to win the gold medal, while Region 3’s Ivory Faith Novesteras finished second with 335 points.
