Tac Padilla

May 3, 2011 | 2:10pm

One of the finest marksmen in the country today, Nathaniel “Tac” Padilla is a grizzled veteran in the international shooting scene. Padilla won his first gold medal at the age of 11, topping the Benito Juarez Juniors’ Championship in Mexico. He since racked up a handful of local and international shooting titles.

A Southeast Asian Games mainstay, Padilla has won several gold medals for the Philippines. This November, he will be making his 17th SEA Games appearance in Indonesia since he made his debut in the biennial sportsfest in 1977.

The 46-year-old Padilla is also the general manager of their family-owned Spring Cooking Oil.
