The Mark V. Pinggol (MVP) taekwondo gym recently held another promotion test and it was the biggest batch of promoted blackbelters, with 15 students ascending.

In the previous months, the MVP gym held their first promotional test and it was nothing but success for Mr. Pinggol himself, the man behind the MVP gym.

Taekwondo Promotion test is a regular activity of the Philippine Taekwondo Association conducted in every Regional Chapter by the Regional Promotion Board Committee wherein a taekwondo athlete is being assessed for belt upgrading after 3 to 4 months of intensive training in the gym.

For the MVP gym, this may be the last promotion test of the year and they are very proud of the results, with an 8 year-old as the youngest blackbelter in the gym.

Three students were also promoted for 2^nd Dan blackbelts, a degree higher than 1^st Dan blackbelt, they were: Angela Marie Bermejo, Elianna Jamille Comuelo, and Crisgel Castro.
