For 51-year-old Butch Ledesma, playing football is a passion. He enjoys being competitive at his age, sweating it out on the pitch every Sunday afternoon with the Blue Guards club at the Ateneo grounds, wearing a uniform and glitzy football shoes and joining friends for a beer after a match. Football isn’t just a game for Ledesma, it’s a way of life.

So, in the tradition of Anna Kournikova and all her years of heartthrob reign in the court, come these athletes who deserve all the instant replays.

                    [Summary] => Chris Monfort is gone, and the world is a poorer place for it.


I first encountered Chris Monfort in second year high school, when I was still entertaining dreams of becoming a World Cup goalkeeper. He was this smiling, athletic, patient Ilonggo who had an exotic accent and an unusually endearing way of stringing English sentences together. I didn’t know it at the time, but he was still studying at UP, and wanted to start teaching. He made football fun.

Naging maningning ang season na ito ng Ateneo booters matapos na ibulsa ang lima sa RIFA divisions nang manguna sa High School (18-and-under) championship.


Nagwagi rin ang Ateneo sa Aspirants (16-under), Midgets A/B (14-under), Midgets C/D First Division at Second Division (12-under) overall trophies.
