Hello! I'm Lyddel Joy Corro, a passionate enthusiast of music, sitcoms, podcasts, sports, and Wattpad stories. When it comes to Philippine pop culture, I have a special fondness for several areas: 1) P-Pop music, especially groups like SB19 and BINI, who are leading the local music scene with their catchy tunes and powerful performances along with other country's pop music; 2) Sitcoms, such as "Friends", "Modern Family" and "Victorious," which bring joy and laughter to me and my friends who often hangs out on discord; 3) Podcasts, like "Wake Up with Jim & Saab" and "Adulting with Joyce Pring," and my favorite "Sky Podcast" which provide insightful and entertaining content on various topics that I refelect on and try to apply to things that I face; 4) Sports, with a particular interest in archery, and I was once a part of a club here in Mindanao but stopped due to priorities. I also joined other sports like softball and swimming; and 5) Wattpad stories, where I enjoy discovering new writers and engaging in captivating tales, with popular reads like "Azucarera Series" and "University Series" and "College Series" where I can relate to. These interests reflect my love for the vibrant and dynamic landscape of Philippine pop culture.

One aspect of Philippine pop culture I would love to feature in my Padlet is the country's rich sports culture, particularly focusing on the growing popularity of archery. Archery, while traditionally overshadowed by sports like basketball and boxing, has been steadily gaining recognition and enthusiasm among Filipinos. This ancient sport combines skill, precision, and mental fortitude, offering a unique and engaging athletic experience. Featuring archery will highlight the diverse interests of Filipinos and showcase how traditional sports are being embraced by the younger generation. Additionally, sharing stories and achievements of local archery clubs and athletes from Mindanao and other regions can inspire more people to explore and appreciate this sport. This focus will not only celebrate the athleticism but also the dedication and discipline that archery fosters among its practitioners.

Analyzing the rise of archery in the Philippines through the lens of the Uses and Gratifications Theory reveals how this sport satisfies various needs of individuals and the community, leading to significant cultural and social changes. Initially, archery meets the cognitive needs of enthusiasts by providing a platform for learning and skill development. Participants engage in mastering techniques and strategies, which enhances their mental focus and discipline. Socially, it creates a sense of community among archers who share common interests and goals. This sport also addresses emotional needs by offering a form of stress relief and personal satisfaction. Engaging in archery can be a meditative practice, helping individuals achieve a sense of calm and mental clarity.

Moreover, the growing popularity of archery influences broader cultural and social dynamics. By elevating a sport that emphasizes patience, precision, and self-control, it challenges the traditional dominance of more aggressive sports like basketball and boxing. This shift promotes a more diverse sports culture, encouraging inclusivity and the recognition of different forms of athleticism. Archery clubs and events foster community engagement and youth involvement, steering them towards positive and constructive activities. On a larger scale, the sport's rising profile can influence national sports programs and policies, leading to increased support and resources for less mainstream sports. This evolution in the sporting landscape underscores the adaptability and richness of Philippine pop culture, as it embraces and nurtures a wide array of interests and talents.

CEBU CITY - World Archery Philippines president Clint Aranas is hoping the 1st ASEAN Youth Championships that unfolded at the Dynamic Herb Sports Complex here would blaze the trail for the sport to boom in the region.

"We pray that this initial tournament will spark our Southeast Asian and Asian neighbors in organizing more international youth competitions in both the recurve and compound disciplines so we can scout our promising athletes at an early age and keep them in the sport," said Aranas in a statement.

"This event will test the capabilities of our young archers as they prepare for the big international events next year.

"As iron sharpens iron, World Archery Philippines is optimistic that this initiative will hasten the development of our promising young archers in Southeast Asia and Asia, encouraging them to continue and compete in the dynamic sport we all love," he added.

Aranas said the meet, which is supported by the Philippine Sports Commission, Cebu City government and sports commission, should help smoothen the transition of an aspiring archer into a potential world-class talent.

"That close to 300 archers from Chinese-Taipei, India, Indonesia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and the Philippines are here shows the growing need for competitions at the age group level so there can be a smooth transition among our budding archers through the ranks until they reach senior play," said Aranas.

Also gracing the inaugurals were Southeast Asia Archery Federation president Sanguan Kosavinta of Thailand, former World Archery Asia secretary-general Dr. Sungho Um of South Korea, host Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama and councilor Dondon Hontiveros and PSC commissioner Edward Hayco.

The country was spearheaded by Palarong Pambansa six-gold medal winner Naina Dominique Tagle, Miel Cipriano, Jonathan Reaport of recurve and Alon Jucutan and Gwyneth Garcia of compound as action went underway yesterday in the Under-10, U15, U18 and U21 age groups in both boys and girls divisions backed by Benel Archery, Post Science Corp., Tangent and Fair Deal Enterprises.
