The 13-year-old has been making waves in the tennis scene, winning two golds and one silver at the ITF Asia 14-and-Under Development Championships 2026 for South, Southeast, and East Asia last February.
The Palarong Pambansa is being held in Agusan del Sur — a vision that began 33 years ago, said Governor Santiago Cane Jr.
Winners like Torrecampo will receive cash incentives, as announced by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during the opening ceremony via a video message.
