The first ever Philippine Delegation to the World Kendo Championships (WKC) ends their campaign on a positive note by earning wins in all categories, though not enough (for the most part) to advance beyond the round-robin stage.

One issue in the lead-up to the 19th WKC was that we could never gather everyone in one place at the same time before going to Milan. That's the problem when our athletes are based in different provinces (and even countries!).

Today, we are honored to share a special message from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in support of the Philippine Kendo Team as we represent our country for the first time at the 19th World Kendo Championships in Milan, Italy today until July 7.
