AGUSAN DEL SUR, Philippines – Chrishia Mae Tajarros no longer shed tears, but she remained the same dominant force.
For the second straight year, the Eastern Visayas athletics standout earned the distinction of being the first gold medalist of the Palarong Pambansa after defending her throne in the secondary girls’ 3,000m run at the Datu Lipus Makapandong Gov. Democrito O. Plaza Sports Complex in Prosperidad on Monday, May 25.
Tajarros, an incoming Grade 10 student at Tanauan National High School and a product of the Leyte Sports Academy, led from start to finish and posted a time of 10 minutes and 4.76 seconds as she replicated her feat in the 2025 edition in Ilocos Norte, where she also emerged as the first Palaro champion.
“I’m confident since I trained for almost an entire year because the Palaro comes just once in a lifetime,” said Tajarros.
Tajarros eclipsed her 2025 time of 10:18.6 by nearly 14 seconds as she came close to shattering the Palaro record of 10:03.4 set by Davao Region’s Mea Gey Ninura in 2016.
Eastern Visayas completed a one-two coup, with Angel Lumacang finishing at a distant second with a time of 10:16.24 followed by Davao Region’s Charlen Cos (10:17.20) at third.
Tajarros’ life has changed since her inspired 2025 victory, which saw her run the gamut of emotions.
She now represents the Philippines internationally, clinching the girls’ 3,000m silver in the ASEAN School Games in Brunei in November.
Her next goal is to reach the biggest stage in sports.
“I’m a one hundred percent [hungry]. My dream is to make the Olympics while I’m still young,” said the 14-year-old Tajarros. – Rappler.com

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC
The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
