The Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA) began its search for the brightest young talent in the country
Around 1,500 budding taekwondo players participated in the competition, held at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in capital city Manila.
Eight categories - senior men and women, junior men and women, cadet division men and women and school boys and girls - were contested.
The PTA was established in 1976 to promote the Korean martial art in the country.
"This event will highlight the progress of taekwondo in The Philippines and give an opportunity to show and demonstrate their ability in effective techniques and styles," PTA vice-president Sung Chon Hong, said prior to the competition.
