DAGUPAN CITY, May 18 (PNA) -- The Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) has passed a resolution congratulating a young swimmer from the Oakridge International School of Young Leaders who won four medals, including a gold medal, in the recent YMCA Novice Competition, besting swimmers from other parts of the country.

In a resolution authored on Tuesday by Councilor Redford Christian Erfe Mejia,the SP in its very first session after the election congratulated Luke Angelo Aldrich De Vera Gerogalin, a member of the Oakridge Orcas Swimming Team for being a recipient of various awards in that competition.

Aside from his gold medal which he won in 20 x 4 free style, Gerogalin, a Grade III pupil, won silver medal in 20 x 4 breast stroke, and also won bronze medals in 20 x 4 back stroke and 20 x 4 butterfly.

These feats, the resolution stated, brought immense honor not only to the immediate family and friends of Gerogalin but also his coaches, Alexandra T. Corilla and Alexander C. Corilla, and other pupils and faculty members of International School of Young Leaders.
