Mr. Xedric James A. Faroden

Biography

A young man born in La Trinidad and residing in Baguio City but rooted from the mountainous and beautiful place of Sadanga, Mountain Province. At a young age, Mr. Xedric James Ayyokad Faroden found his passion in sports through Taekwondo. He started his simple interest in Taekwondo and soon became a big part of his life.

With all humility, perseverance, and courage, Mr. Faroden steps on the mats of different places trying to outshine his fears and simply making the shared techniques from his coaches outshine every obstacle to make his pathway from where he is now in sports.

Through rigorous training he learned more than what he expected, grew stronger and most of all he learned to be disciplined as all athletes should be. Through the years, his love for the sport never faded.

Taekwondo became more than just training or competition for him — it became something that shaped who he was. Until now, Mr. Faroden continues to do what he loves, always striving to improve, following his passion for taekwondo and sharing the best to his co-athletes.

Train hard, Train harder and always train for the best because as Ben Franklin said, "If You Fail to Prepare, You are Prepared to Fail."
