“We are happy that our young athletes are performing well in this competition. These are the future of Philippine karatedo. We are exposing them in international competitions to further hone their skills for future big tournaments,” pahayag ni Philippine Karatedo Federation Secretary General Raymund Lee Reyes.

Nakasiguro naman ng pilak na medalya si Randy Stefano Padua Jr. sa individual kumite male 76 kgs. junior habang ang tatlo pang tanso ay nai-ambag nina Leigh Angela Cuadra sa female individual kumite junior (59 kgs.), Andrei Mel Dela Cruz sa male individual kumite cadet at Angel Aguilar female individual kumite junior (-53 kgs.).

Sa kabuuan, mayroon nang dalawang ginto, tatlong pilak at apat na tanso ang Pilipinas sa torneong nilahukan din ng Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Macau, Laos at host Vietnam.

Sa unang araw ng kumpetisyon, nakaginto si Jaime Enrique Villegas (male individual kata junior).
