Locally, Ladon has won at the Filipino National Open Junior Championships at the 46 kg category winning a bronze at the 2008 edition and a gold at the 2009 edition. He won a gold medal at the 2013 Philippine National Games in the 49 kg category. [1] Ladon was the sparring partner of Mark Anthony Barriga for the 2012 Olympics.
