She was the acknowledged Philippine queen of the long jump. She has struck SEA Games gold since the 2005 Manila Games. But for the 30year old Negros oriental native, this SEA Games would give her a taste of even brighter glory.

Marestella Torres started off the Philippine campaign on the right foot by jumping to a gold medal, a personal best, a Philippine best and a SEA Games best.
