Congratulations to every athlete who had the courage to perform, every coach and parent who stood behind them, and every organizer and volunteer who made the recently concluded Manila Open DanceSport Competition 2026 possible.

Thank you to my brother, Emmanuel Reyes, and wife, Carmi Reyes, for allowing me to be part of this incredible event. It was an honor to witness your dedication and love for DanceSport. Congratulations to everyone, and I look forward to seeing you all on the dance floor again soon.
