PHNOM PENH—Ian Clark Bautista has a vast collection of boxing medals back home, but there's one more piece of hardware that he's dying to acquire for his trophy room. 'I compete in the SEA (Southeast Asian) Games, Asian championships, the Asian Games and even in the world Olympic qualifiers, but I have never been to the Olympics,'' said Bautista after prevailing for the featherweight plum in men's boxing at the 32nd Southeast Asian Games. The 28-year-old pride of Binalbagan, Negros Occidental, claimed his second straight title in these Games and though Bautista remains ecstatic with these victories, an Olympic experience will no doubt complete a life-long dream.
