Juliana Gomez proved once and for all that she takes after her father, Leyte Rep. Richard Gomez in more ways than one after she won a fencing competition in Thailand recently.
The actor-politician documented Juliana’s winning moments during the Thailand Open through a video compilation that he posted on his Instagram page last Saturday, Nov. 26.
“Congratulations [Juliana Gomez] for winning the Thailand Open Fencing Championship today,” he greeted his daughter. “May you keep on winning and bring more honor to the country.”
Juliana is Gomez and wife, Lucy Torres’ only child. Lucy is currently the mayor of Ormoc City.
Fellow celebrities like Aga Muhlach, Ariella Arida and Ben Chan of fashion label Bench also expressed awe at Juliana’s achievements, sending their congratulatory greetings via the comments section.
Richard himself was a former SEA Games athlete who represented the Philippines in the fencing category. He is currently the president of the Philippine Fencing Association. EDV
