On a break
I will be away for a couple of weeks for my annual sabbatical leave. My commentaries on issues of the day will resume on the 6th of June.
Collegiate champions
Over 200 collegiate teams are qualified to participate in this year’s search for the best collegiate basketball team in the country. This was announced by Coach Joe Lipa, National Tournament Director of the Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL), after completing the road show presentation to all the major collegiate leagues in Metro Manila and the provinces.
The first phase of Philippine Collegiate Championship games starts in June when all collegiate teams compete in their respective “mother leagues” to determine the teams that will advance to the second phase – the regional championships.
The existing collegiate leagues in the provinces are grouped into nine regional areas. Each regional area will have a regional champion.
The following are the regional area groupings: Regional area 1 – Ilocos, Pangasinan, Mountain Province; Regional area 2 – Tarlac, Zambales, Pampanga and Bulacan; Regional area 3 – Batangas, Quezon and Bicol provinces; Regional area 4 – Iloilo & Negros provinces; Regional area 5 – Dumaguete and Bohol; Regional area 6 – Leyte, Ormoc and Samar; Regional area 7 – Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, Misamis Oriental and Caraga; Regional 8 – Davao, Socsargen and Maguindanao; and Regional area 9 – Zamboanga (cities and provinces) and Misamis Occidental.
Watch this space for more details as the teams start their journey towards the national collegiate championship.
