Ang CESAFI sa ika-onse

-

CEBU, Philippines - Karong Domingo, Agosto 7, buksan ang dugay nang gikahinaman nga ika-11 nga season sa Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI), ang labing dako ug bugtong school-based tournament diha sa Cebu Coliseum diin magdasok na sab ang kaliboan ka mga basketball fans.

Ang CESAFI maoy labing inila nga torneyo nga gisalmotan og mga tunghaan dinhi sa tibuok Visayas ug Mindanao. Gikan sa ngalan nga CAAA, nahimo kining CESAFI nga padayong nagkakusog ug nagkanindot matag tuig. Kini maoy tugbang sa Sugbo sa UAAP ug NCAA didto sa Manila ug kung duna’y Ateneo-La Salle rivalry sa UAAP ug San Beda-San Sebastian sa NCAA, duna sab kita’y higpit nga rivalry tali sa UC ug UV nga padayong naglingaw sa katawhan. Sulod sa miaging duha ka dekada, kanunay mag-abot ang UC ug UV sa high school championship apan naputol kini sa labing unang higayon sa miaging tuig diin maoy midaog sa korona ang Cebu Eastern College (CEC) Dragons batok sa Sacred Heart-Ateneo de Cebu Blue Eaglets nga parehong nahimong usa ka school records sa tagsa-tagsa nilan ka tunghaan.

Dili man tinuod matag tuig mo-abante ang UC Webmasters nga maoy defending champions, interesado kaayong mosaksi ang mga CESAFI fans matag championship series diin upat pa lang ka teams ang nahimong kaatbang sa UV sulod sa miaging napulo ka tuig ug kini mao ang CIT, USJR, USC ug UC apan bugtong ang Webmasters lang maoy milampos sa pagputol sa siyam ka tuig nga pagdominar sa UV Green Lancers.

Karong tuiga, gustong bawion sa UV ang ilang korona nga gipahuwaman nila sa UC apan samtang anaa ang 6-9 nga higanteng sentro nga si Junemar Fajardo dili kini sayon nga tahas alang sa Lancers. Pag-ingon pa “it’s easier said than done.”

Dili pa lang dugay, akong nahinabi ang team manager sa Webmasters nga si Atty. Baldomero Estenzo atol sa ilang practice isip pagpangandam sa ilang pagsalmot sa 26th Universiade didto sa Shenzhen, China karong Agosto 12-23. Masaligon kaayo si Atty. Estenzo nga dako gihapon og purohan nga ilang madepensa-an ang ilang korona.

Sa tanang mga players, coaches ug team managers sa CESAFI, good luck sa inyong kampanya sa korona.

May the best team wins.

AN EVENING WITH THE GENERAL. After so many years, I met again my former classmate at the USPF-Lahug Brig. Gen. Ernesto R. Aradanas, AFP who is currently assigned at the Office of Strategic and Special Studies of the Department of National Defense. A math wizard in our class during our high school days, Gen. Aradanas is a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in 1979 Class Matapat and upon his graduation, he was among the officers who was trained with the Green Beret special forces at the Fort Bennings, Georgia and Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He sometimes play golf and tennis during free time. It came to me as surprise when Gen. Aradanas sent me a text message inviting me to a simple dinner at their residence last Sunday, July 24 which actually turned out to be the birthday of her mommy Ana. Together with his amiable wife Armie and brother Laureano Aradanas, Jr., only two other former classmates were present and they were Elemelech “Nonoy” Parcon and Mario Castrodes whose wife Mary Jane celebrated her birthday last July 25. The last time I met Erning was when he was still a captain assigned at the Upper Kalarian, Zamboanga del Norte.

MISCELLANEOUS. Congratulations to Judge Raphael Yrastorza for his election as the University of San Carlos (USC) South Campus PTCA executive board president. The other members of the executive board are Cesar Ortega as vice president:; Mai Lagumbay, secretary; Mrs. Dominica Nacua, treasurer; Mrs. Melianita Quirante, auditor and PIO’s Allan Dinampo and yours truly. Congrats also to all homerooms presidents and to the faculty members who helped in facilitating the elections. Belated 78th birthday to my relative Romeo G. Malagar of Consolacion, Cebu last July 22, greetings coming from your loving daughter Dr. Vilma M. Lastimosa, an OB-Gyne and from your son-in-law Dr. Roy Lastimosa.  - BANAT NEWS
