THE Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) has recently been riddled with one of its biggest controversies to date—getting court dates for its rules on residency.
In the 80s, when PBA legend Jojo Lastimosa came to Cebu to try his fate in college ball under Cebu Sports Hall of Famer coach Manuel Baring Sr. in the University of San Jose Recoletos, he also came under fire. (READ MORE)

WILL the lawsuit filed by Scott Aying lead to a deluge of court cases against the Cesafi in the future? For similar cases, god I hope so.
For issues like this, in Cesafi or even in Manila’s UAAP, I hope they all file cases until both leagues will be forced to drop the two-year residency rule. In the case of Manila, that residency rule even covers incoming freshmen and thankfully, the Cesafi hasn’t gone that route. (READ MORE)
