A young boy, only 16 years old, now a Senior High School as Night High School Dept  at Santa Cruz Institute made it not just on the national event but at a worldwide venue of sports event in USA.

I first met this boy way back  January 2013 for the celebration of 62nd Foundation Day of Santa Cruz Institute after the School Vice President Mr. Joel Pedro introduces Louie Pineda who makes it as 8th placer in Worldwide ranking of Table Tennis Championship game in London.

He returned home with bacon last January after his first tournament in London as rank 8th placer. And such an honor to know that he will back again abroad and in early this July in Las Vegas Nevada for another Championship Match.

At first and it’s true that Louie is a shy boy a very humble student and a lovable son. A religious one as member of Iglesia Ni Kristo here in Santa Cruz Marinduque where he first discovered his talent since this sect is promoting badminton and table tennis for their youth members.

Louie participate Palarong Pambansa last March in Zamboanga City and awarded as Gold Medal on his chosen category same with another SCI Student from Grade 8. They represent Santa Cruz as his home town, Marinduque as his Province and Region IV – MIMAROPA as his Region.

Night High School Head Mr. Romeo Jimenez and Night High School teaching Staff and students, Day High School and College Dept cheers the new athlete after the SCI Brassband made a short parade to the town. Together with Santa Cruz Vice Mayor Ismael Lim and four Municipal Councilor, his Mother and Father (fresh from the church where they are member) and Mrs. Rachel R. Pedro escorted Louie upstairs of the Plaza. 


“Sa mga sumuporta po maraming-maraming salamat po. Sa mga kapwa ko mag-aaral muli po maraming-maraming salamat po” a short message of Louie Pineda.
According to Vice Mayor Lim, while at the event in  Las Vegas Convention Center, Louie requested to his trainor to wear his shirt “SANTA CRUZ, MARINDUQUE” are printed before the event.
As a result of hardwork and trainings he bagged the First Place.
