Filipino-American Ice Skaters Travel Back to the Philippines to Compete



It’s A decision Filipino-American Melissa Bulanhagui certainly doesn’t regret.

A former Team USA skater, Bulanhagui showcased her talent for the first time in the Philippines to capture the senior ladies crown in the National Figure Skating Championship Sunday at the SM Mall of Asia ice skating rink.

“My parents have been begging me to do it,” said Bulanhagui, a 21-year-old Delaware native whose Filipino parents, Alfredo and Lourdes, trace their roots in Bauan, Batangas.

“I’m proud of what I’ve done for Team USA and I’m now ready to do my work for the Philippines.”
