The flight arrived an hour late, but Martinez’s fans patiently waited for their idol and gave him a rousing welcome when he emerged from the tube of the plane.

Martinez, 17, brought honor to the country by being the first skater from the Philippines, a tropical zone, and Southeast Asia to qualify for the Olympics.

He made a remarkable 19th place finish, a big jump from his 30th rank upon qualifying for the Olympics among thousands of aspirants.

From the airport, a brief motorcade organized by the Pasay City government and the SM Mall of Asia management was held for Martinez shortly before 6 p.m.

He looks 100% Han Chinese to me. Probably a 2nd generation Hua-ren ?

Christian with his mom! Beautiful family. :)

I was so touched to read that his mother actually mortgaged her house in order to support her son's dream!

:D

Great job, Christian. I am so touched by your dream and aspiration. At your young age of 17, your doors are just opening. Keep up your drive, and your aspirations in this sport and in the professional field.

Good Job, Ondoy! :)
