Manila — Former taekwondo jin Jayke Joson said learning martial arts, such as taekwondo and karate, has a huge help in one’s everyday living.
Joson, a taekwondo and karate practioner since his elementary and high school days in Lourdes School in Quezon City, said martial arts taught him to help and create hope for others.
âBeing passionate about Martial Arts especially karate and taekwondo, youâll learn the way of discipline, to be efficient in work and the importance of word of honor,â Joson said in an interview in Laguna.
Joson added that he lauded the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) frontliners for showing discipline and efficiency in their field since the start of the pandemic.
âI know the everyday struggle of being a Frontliner â not only those working in hospitals but also the police, soldiers and our delivery boys,” said Joson, who is the first nominee of Frontliners partylist.
“Personally, I would like to thank the frontliners for saving the life of my parents last year during the height of the pandemic when they were infected by Covid-19,” he added.
As part of his team’s advocacy, gave a few cellphones, gift certificates, bikes, sack of rice to the Frontliners and their family members as an early Christmas gift to frontliners in Liliw, Laguna.
âFor me, our Frontliners are the true superheroes of our time,” Joson said./PN
