Career
Hokett de los Santos was mentored by pole vault Olympian EJ Obiena and his father, coach Emerson Obiena. He initially gained recognition in the pole vault, achieving a personal best of 5.15 meters and winning a silver medal in the event at the 2021 SEA Games.

Delos Santos captured the gold medal in the men’s decathlon at the 2025 SEA Games in Bangkok, Thailand, tallying 6,917 points. His victory was especially notable as it reclaimed the title for the Philippines after a six-year drought and was achieved despite a months-long struggle with an adductor strain that hindered his training, a fact he cited in his post-victory comments. Prior to the SEA Games, he gained valuable experience competing against world-class athletes at the Atletang Ayala World Pole Vault Challenge. Delos Santos is considered one of the next generation of track and field athletes poised to carry the torch for the Philippines, demonstrating both versatility and tremendous grit in multi-event competitions.
