Oroquieta City, Misamis Occidental— Governor Oaminal: “This is the spirit of One Asenso Misamis Occidental—united, resilient, unstoppable.”

In a stunning and emotional triumph that will be etched into the province’s history books, Misamis Occidental has officially clinched its first-ever overall championship title in the 2025 Northern Mindanao Regional Athletic Association (NMRAA) Meet—an unprecedented feat that captured the heart of the region and ignited a new era of pride and unity.

With a staggering 94 gold, 77 silver, and 59 bronze medals, Team Misamis Occidental delivered a performance for the ages—one that shattered records, exceeded expectations, and transformed dreams into reality.

A Victory of a Lifetime

“This is more than just a win. This is a defining moment—a testament to the strength of our youth, the power of unity, and the unstoppable spirit of Misamis Occidental,” declared Governor Henry S. Oaminal during a powerful post-victory speech. “This triumph is not only about medals; it is about believing in ourselves and rising together.”

The Governor lauded the relentless determination of every athlete, coach, and supporter behind the One Asenso Misamis Occidental team, calling them “champions not only of the field, but of the province’s future.”

A United Front Behind the Win

Governor Oaminal extended heartfelt thanks to the key leaders who stood as pillars of this milestone, including Congressman Jason P. Almonte of the 1st District, Congressman Sancho Fernando F. Oaminal of the 2nd District, Vice Governor Rowena L. Gutierrez, the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, city and municipal mayors, as well as the DepEd leaders, coaches, trainers, and the NMRAA 2025 working committees whose collective efforts helped turn this dream into a reality.

He emphasized that the win reflects the realization of the province’s 5Ms Vision: Misamisnon Magpuyong Malinawon, Malambuon, ug Malipayon. Sports, he said, is not merely about competition—it's about building character, teaching resilience, and inspiring leadership.

You Carried the Spirit of Misamis Occidental

In a deeply moving tribute, the Governor honored every young athlete who wore the province’s name with pride. “To our athletes—you did not just win medals. You carried the dreams of your communities, the hopes of your families, and the spirit of Misamis Occidental. Matinahuron, matinud-anon, matinabangon, ug mahigugmaon—these values carried you across the finish line.”

Eyes Set on Palarong Pambansa 2025

With eyes now turned to Palarong Pambansa 2025 in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Governor Oaminal rallied the champions to carry forward the same discipline, courage, and unity that led to this monumental victory.

“Our journey does not end here. We will continue to rise. And as we step onto the national stage, we carry not only our name—but our vision, our heart, and our purpose." (SN/PGMO)
