Aleia, daughter of Alvin Aguilar—considered as the founding father of Philippine mixed martial arts—made Brazil's Gabriela Vercosa tap out via submission. Bince, who hails from Busac town in Oas municipality in Albay, Bicol, represented the Philippines during the international competition last Nov. 4 to 13. There, he won a trophy and four medals—outplaying 20 other players from different countries in the Under 10 category.
"[W]hile waiting for the plane ticket sponsored by the Philippine Sports Commission, Bince and his father spent three nights at the airport with those benches as their bed," the lawmaker said, adding the Bince had to go to Thailand first without his father.
