He captured two bronze medals in the middleweight division at the Southeast Asian Games (2001 and 2003), and later represented the Philippines at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Throughout his sporting career, Camat has been training as an elite athlete for Team Caltex Boxing Club under his head coach and mentor Nolito Velasco. ==Early life== Born and raised in Pangasinan, Camat emigrated to the United States at the age of ten. His father Eduardo left the nation alone for California in 1979, until he petitioned for his wife Mercedes and their three children (including Camat) to join and accompany him. Lasted for two years, Camat's father was deported back to Manila, when the U.S. immigration authorities discovered that he misrepresented his petition. While his father started a new family in Manila, Camat managed to remain in the United States with his mother and sisters despite of their allegations over the deportation case. Camat studied at Morro Bay High School in San Luis Obispo, California, where he lettered and excelled in boxing, basketball, football, and track and field. He trained in the Police Athletic League under his coach Pat Murphy, and eventually brought home numerous trophies in local tournaments, moving him up to second in the U.S. amateur boxing standings for the middleweight class. After graduating from high school, Camat offered a boxing scholarship at Northern Michigan University, but later deferred it because of his impending deportation.〔 Admittedly, Camat resided in San Francisco, California where he worked as a furniture salesman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christopher Camat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
