These were the words of DAVRAA 2023 gold medalist Pietro Dominic N. Requiza of Davao City National High School as he bagged three gold medals for various swimming events.

“I am very happy because I got the gold medals. I am very proud of my performance even though I made a mistake. Yet, I still want to encourage the other Davao durian athletes by saying just train more, do the proper things in your training and listen to your coach,” the swimming champ shared in glee in an interview.
