Congratulations to Markus Cezar S. Tongco (DLSZ 2016) for winning the Bronze medal in Boxing under the 92-kg heavyweight division at the 2023 South East Asian (SEA) Games last May 11, 2023 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Markus was a member of the Junior Archers team during the UAAP Season ’78.

After DLSZ, he studied at DLSZ-College of St. Benilde then went back home to Cagayan de Oro and played basketball for the Xavier-Ateneo de Cagayan University, while earning his degree in Business Administration. During the pandemic, to get himself in shape after an injury, he turned to boxing.

Markus who stands 6 feet 5 inches, made history as the first Filipino athlete to represent the country in the SEA Games men’s boxing 92-kg heavyweight division, according to Mr. Elmer Pamisa, head coach of the CDO Amateur Boxing team, in a Philippine Star interview.

Your DLSZ Family is proud of you, Markus! Animo La Salle!
