Fifth-year Civil Engineering student Pia Elizabeth Angela Bidaure, and alumna Phoebe Nicole Amistoso, won a gold medal as a team in the Archery Women’s Team Recurve competition.

Bidaure and Amistoso, both from Dumaguete City, were two of the three archers who represented the Philippines in the Women’s Team Recurve competition. 

Their third teammate, Gabrielle Monica Bidaure, was also from Dumaguete City.

The trio bagged gold after defeating the team representing Vietnam in the finals of the Women’s Team Recurve competition.

The victory is Philippine’s first gold in the women’s recurve category since the 21st SEA Games in 2001 when Purita Joy Mariño, also an SU alumna and currently the Philippine Archery National Team head coach, won in the category.
