OCA-Incheon Vision 2014 Programme

As part of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA)-Incheon Vision 2014 Programme, a total of 7 Philippine National Archers and 1 Philippine National Coach were given the privilege to train under Coach Park, one of the best Archery Coaches in the world. Sponsored by the host country, our Philippine delegates namely: Stephanie Azarias, Carl Buenaventura, Paul Marton Dela Cruz, Arjayson Esturas, Marie Cabral, Florante Matan, Caitlin Miciano and Coach Enriqueta Buenaventura, resided at the Royal Hotel in Incheon city for their month-long training.

The delegates report further that besides the tough training, there was still room for exploration and recreation as they toured the city and parks towards the end of their trip. Upon their return, Philippine Coach Enriqueta "Neneng" Buenaventura relayed both her high praises to the host for their support and her high hopes for the balikbayan trainees. The delegates left for Korea last 7th of October, arriving on the 5th of November 2011 just in time for the 26th Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia.
