Career
Celestino began skating in 2002. He competed for his native Canada until the 2017–18 season, before switching to representing the Philippines in the following season.[3] Celestino was also an ice dancer.[4]
For Canada, Celestino competed on the ISU Junior Grand Prix three times, with his highest finish being ninth at 2016 JGP Russia. He is the 2016 Autumn Classic International junior champion, after previously finishing fourth in 2015. Celestino is the 2014 Canadian novice national silver medalist, the 2015 Canadian junior national bronze medalist, and the 2016 Canadian junior national silver medalist.[5] At the senior level, he finished 12th in 2017 and 18th in 2018.[5]
2018–2019 season
Celestino won the national title at the 2019 Philippine Championships by over 30 points ahead of Christopher Caluza and Yamato Rowe.[6][7] He did not compete internationally during the season.[3]
2019–2020 season
Celestino debuted for the Philippines and competed internationally for the first time since the 2016–17 season by competing at three Challenger Series events. He finished eighth at the 2019 CS Ice Star and ninth at the 2019 CS Finlandia Trophy and the 2019 CS Autumn Classic International.[3] In November 2019, Celestino finished fourth at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, after placing third in the short program and fourth in the free skating.[8] Despite being nervous for the competition, he told media that he found inspiration "from within [himself] and sheer love and passion for skating."[9]
Celestino qualified to the free skating segment at the 2020 Four Continents Championships, finishing 20th overall. He failed to attain the minimum technical element scores required to compete at the 2020 World Championships in his hometown of Montreal.[10] Celestino would have ended his season at the 2020 Philippine Championships in April; however, the competition was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.[11]
