“He had a smile on his face” - Carlo Bumina-ang proud to repay coach Mark Sangiao’s trust as Team Lakay’s next-gen talent

30-year-old Filipino firecracker and Team Lakay star Carlo Bumina-Ang of the Philippines registered another explosive finish last weekend when he took out tough Korean grappler Song Min Jong in under a minute.

Bumina-Ang delivered a bomb performance, battering Song to a pulp in the opening minute of their scheduled three-rounder, and the 30-year-old from Baguio City says he is thankful for being in the position he's in.

Speaking to Bangkok Post in a recent interview, Bumina-Ang says he was happy he made his coach, Team Lakay head Mark Sangiao, proud. And that he's even more proud to be leading the charge for the new-look faction.

Bumina-Ang said:

"Yeah, of course. I saw his face, [coach Mark] had a smile on his face."

Bumina-Ang added:

"Absolutely. I’m so happy that I’m the one who’s representing Team Lakay now."
