“It was my first time putting my painting technique outdoors and painting this large but I’m happy for the outcome. I hope for more larger projects in the future and continue to improve on painting outdoors-street art.”

The painting featured Team Lakay’s prized warriors bannered by two-time ONE lightweight champion Eduard Folayang, former ONE bantamweight king Kevin Belingon and headmaster Mark Sangiao.

Harold’s brother Honorio, who was the inaugural ONE featherweight champion, along with other ONE champions Joshua Pacio and Geje Eustaquio are also in it.

“Immortalized forever as heroes to the Philippines,” said ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong of the mural.
