The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
After defeating John Wayne Parr in ONE X last month, Eduard Folayang is set to receive a special bonus from Benguet Congressman Eric Go Yap who pledged half a million pesos to Folayang as incentive should he win.
Yap reportedly went to one of Folayang’s trainings in Baguio before the match and promised Folayang a P500,000 reward should he win the match.
The Team Lakay stalwart showed mastery when he struck Parr in Singapore last March 26, for a unanimous decision.
Team Lakay went on social media to thank Yap for the incentive.
“It is truly a remarkable sight to see our athletes doing their best in their fields and the Province of Benguet able to show their support as well,” wrote Team Lakay.
Three fighters from Team Lakay saw action in ONE X, ONE Championship’s 10th anniversary show in Singapore.
Stephen Loman was another victor, defeating Shoko Sato for a unanimous decision.
Lito Adiwang suffered an injury in his bout against fellow Filipino Jeremy Miado and absorbed a 2nd round TKO loss. According to Team Lakay, Adiwang is awaiting schedule for surgery to right leg which he hurt in a non-contact injury against Miado.
