Dae Yeong Joo | The Quiet Storm

Dwaentertainment earlier hinted that the timid 28-year-old Korean rider—an unchallenged yellow jersey holder from the Gapyeong Cycling Team and a former competitor (6th overall) in the 2019 Ronda Pilipinas—could pull off a wire-to-wire finish and take home an adjusted prize of one million pesos in the MPTC Tour of Luzon 2025.

Once seen as a strong, potentially game-changing contender, Dae Yeong Joo transformed into the fiercest contender—arguably the “Filipino Executioner” in the final stage—as he stunned the field and edged out Filipino stalwart Jan Paul Morales by just six seconds. His dominant performance secured a wire-to-wire win and shattered the previous record set in 1981, when provincemates Jacinto Sicam (San Manuel) and Fermin Zabala (Bautista) had a tight finish of just 12.56 seconds.

The legend lives again!
