Philippines · Age 10 · Level 4
Competitive Artistic Gymnast • International Athlete • Scholar • Artist • Young Communicator • Child of Faith
Before Levi ever stepped onto a gymnastics floor, stood on a podium, or held a Bible to give to another child, her parents waited. They waited 22 years for the child they prayed for.
In 2015 her mother, Jacqueline, made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and experienced what the family considers a miraculous healing. A year later, in 2016, Levi was born. She weighed only 1.7 kilograms and spent 40 days in the NICU.
Her beginning was fragile. But she fought. She grew. She learned. She dreamed. Today that little baby is an international gold medalist in both taekwondo and artistic gymnastics.
The beginning of a life does not determine the limits of that life.
“For nothing will be impossible with God.”Luke 1:37 · the family’s anchor verse
Don’t give up hope.
Every child has a fighting chance. The beginning of a life does not determine the limits of that life.
Levi began competitive gymnastics in March 2025. In two competitive seasons she moved from Level 1 to Level 4, competing on all four women’s apparatus: vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise.
At age 10, Levi took the Level 4 individual overall title and helped her team win the Level 4 team overall championship.
Her record so far, meet by meet. Four of the seven were clean sweeps of all four apparatus.

Levi is preparing to compete internationally in Thailand.
The Philippine national youth games, and her next step in national competition.
Levi trains within the developmental program under the Japan Cultural Grassroots Program. Through it she has trained under Japanese coach Mune, whom the family identifies as having a longstanding coaching connection with two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, and alongside Philippine gymnast Micah Fenina.
Levi’s athletic journey began in taekwondo under two-time Philippine Olympian Donnie Geisler, who helped mold her discipline, confidence and competitive mindset. She competed in poomsae, freestyle and speed kicking, at home and abroad.
That foundation gave her the balance, flexibility, coordination, power, focus and courage she later carried into gymnastics.
Athletic excellence runs through Levi’s family, from an Olympian great-grandfather to parents who played and coached for the country.
Her great-grandfather. An Olympian who represented the Philippines in basketball at the Berlin Olympics.
Her father is a multi-awarded educator and coach at La Salle Greenhills who has served as a Philippine team basketball coach. Her mother is an award-winning educator and former Philippine women’s basketball player.
International medalist in two sports at age 10, and still climbing.
Levi balances school with competitive gymnastics, art, Bible ministry and community service.
A consistent academic Gold Medalist at ETON International School from Preschool through Grade 5. Now in Grade 6, she has received the Gold Award for Academics for the first term.
Earned from Preschool through Grade 5, across areas including visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic and musical intelligence.
Her artwork has been exhibited at Rockwell, Makati and Uptown Mall. Proceeds have supported orphanages in Metro Manila.
She helps children learn Bible stories and Christian values, building skill in public speaking, storytelling, empathy and leadership.
Levi has taken part in bringing more than a thousand Bibles to children in different communities.
Selected to present her vision to First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, she painted an urban farm in Malacañang. The First Family recognized it, and the concept has since moved toward becoming a reality.
For Levi, giving a child a Bible is not simply giving away a book. It is giving that child a message:
She teaches that the Bible is not only a book of stories from the past. It is a message of hope, courage, faith and God’s love for children’s lives today.
Levi welcomes partnerships with brands, schools, media and organisations that share her values of faith, discipline, excellence and service.
Levi is ten years old. All enquiries are handled by her management, Accelerate One Global, in coordination with her parents, Limuel and Jacqueline Tolentino. Each opportunity is weighed against her training and schooling.
