 SIMEON TORIBIO

FULL NAME: SIMEON GALVEZ TORIBIO

BORN: SEPTEMBER 3, 1905, ZAMBOANGA CITY,
PHILIPPINES
DIED: JUNE 5, 1969 (AGED 63), CARMEN, BOHOL
SPORT: TRACK AND FIELD
EVENT(S): HIGH JUMP

Simeon Galvez Toribio (September 3, 1905 – June 5, 1969) was a Filipino high
jumper. He competed at the 1928, 1932 and 1936 Olympics and won a bronze
medal in 1932. In 1928, he cleared the same height as the silver and bronze
medalists Benjamin Hedges and Claude Ménard, but lost the jump-off and placed
fourth. Toribio served as the flag bearer for the Philippines at the 1936 Games,
where he finished 12th. In 1930 he was awarded the title "Asia’s Greatest Athlete".
Toribio could have won the gold medal, if not only for the "call of nature". It was a
grueling four-hour competition to jump over the bar raised at six feet and six inches
high. Toribio, who once made the jump, failed to overcome it the second time
because he was distressed by call of nature.Toribio studied at Silliman
University,and later became a civil engineer. In 1941, he was elected to the House
of Representatives of the Philippines, representing the Second District of Bohol, and
served until 1953. He settled in Carmen, Bohol and died there in 1969. His
descendants are currently continuing his legacy in Public Service.
 ADRIANO GALANG TORRES JR.

FULL NAME: ADRIANO GALANG TORRES JR.

BORN: 1916
DIED: 11 JANUARY 1997
SPORT: BADMINTON

Looking at the fifty’s Adriano Torres Jr. now won’t betray the fact that during his
heydays, he was the undisputed badminton king-pin in the Philippines. Except for a
handshake that lets you feel a firm grip, you wouldn’t have any idea that Mr. Torres
was an athlete, and still is. He is limping when he walks, a result of rheumatoid
arthritis that forced his retirement after what’s perhaps the most illustrious career
hereabouts in his field. Still, a look at the record books gives proof of what most
everybody doesn’t know. He was the most dominant figure in badminton in the ‘50s,
being the national singles champion for seven years in the period spanning 1949 to
1958. He was the mixed doubles champion with Consuelo G. Paredes in 1953, and
reigned as doubles kingpin with Raymond Bayot from 1954 to 1957. His exploits took
him to such foreign lands as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. The most eloquent
recognition of Torres’ achievements as a player came in 1957, when the Philippine
Sportswriters Association named him as the year’s awardees for badminton, but
nothing perhaps can sum up his eminent record better than the achievement award
he received in the ‘70s. Given in February 1972, the award cited Torres “for being the
best Filipino badminton player ever developed in the Philippines, (becoming) famous
for his ‘fancy‘ strokes and reigning as singles champion from 1949 to 1958 and
doubles champion with Raymond Bayot from 1954 to 1957.”
 IAN LARIBA

FULL NAME: IAN NIETES LARIBA

BORN: OCTOBER 13, 1994, CAGAYAN DE ORO, PHILIPPINES
DIED: SEPTEMBER 2, 2018 (AGED 23), TAGUIG, METRO
MANILA, PHILIPPINES
SPORT: TABLE TENNIS

Lariba was born in Cagayan de Oro on October 13, 1994. She took up table tennis at
age 9 with her parents encouraging her to take up "something new" for the summer.
Prior to taking up the sport, Lariba played badminton at a sports complex in Cagayan
de Oro but found herself to be too small for the sport at that time. At the age of 10,
coach Noel Gonzales of the Philippine national table tennis team discovered Lariba
while playing in the Palarong Pambansa. Just a year after taking up table tennis, she
started to participate in provincial and national competitions. She also played for the
varsity team of the Corpus Christi School. Lariba attended De La Salle University for
her college studies, majoring in management in financial institutions. In May 2017,
Lariba was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and underwent treatment that
month. Her illness reportedly damaged the morale of the Philippine table tennis team.
In January 2018, Lariba was admitted to St. Luke's Medical Center anew after her
vision started to blur and the left side of her body began to weaken. Cancer cells were
assessed to have spread to her brain and spinal cord. She underwent chemotherapy,
multiple laboratory examinations, and blood transfusion. On August 17, 2018, after
her condition relapsed, Lariba was admitted again to St. Luke's Medical Center. She
underwent a 5-day chemotherapy protocol and her brain and spine were observed
through MRI on August 23. She died at the Taguig hospital on September 2, 2018.
 FELICISIMO AMPON

FULL NAME: FELICISIMO HERMOSO AMPON

BORN: OCTOBER 27, 1920 MANILA, PHILIPPINE
ISLANDS (1920-10-27)
DIED: 1998, HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS, UNITED
STATES
SPORT: LAWN TENNIS

He is considered to be the greatest Filipino tennis player in history, and at only 4 foot
11 inches tall, was once considered the best tennis player in the world, pound for
pound. He brought tennis to its highest point in Philippines history! Felicisimo Ampon
was the son of former tennis player Felix Ampon and the brother of Desideria Ampon,
who at her time dominated women's tennis in Asia. Ampon made a good start of his
career in the Far Eastern Games, winning the tennis singles gold medal in the 1934
edition. He twice played in the Philippines Amateur Tennis Championships and was
beaten in the play-offs on both occasions. In 1936, he lost to eventual finalist Juanito
Gavia in the quarterfinals. In 1937, he defeated Sam Ang and Alfredo Diy, and made
it to the finals of the Philippines Championship but lost to Leonardo Gavia Jr. After a
disappointing Philippines Championships campaign, Ampon bounced back. As a
freshman at Far Eastern University, he won the Philippine national collegiate singles
crown in 1938. In 1948, he won an International tournament in Copenhagen,
Denmark, in 1949 he won Welsh Championships singles title and in 1951 he became
the singles champions at the Swedish Hard court Championships on clay after
defeating Deyro on the final.
