Jasmine discovered her love for badminton when she was in Grade 9.
Through her dedication, she earned the chance to represent Baguio City National High School in the upcoming Cordillera Regional Athletic Association (CARAA) Sports Meet 2025.
With just a week left before the competition, she is in full preparation mode.
The tournament is set to begin this weekend, with this year’s host province being Benguet.
Aside from the students, coaches are also focused on conditioning their athletes.
The provincial government of Benguet has allocated ₱30 million for the event.
A total of 6,200 participants are expected to join the CARAA Sports Meet 2025.
