    Limpag: Take a bow Cesafi for a great season

    I MAY disagree a lot with how the Cesafi is run or its policies, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t give credit when it is due. And it is rightfully due to the men and women behind the basketball tournament, which culminated with SWU winning the 2014 title over USC in Game 5.

    Take a bow, ladies and gentlemen, for what transpired this year means next year, and the succeeding years could be a series of “this is the best season yet.” (READ MORE)

    AFTER two months and two weeks, the 2014 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) is now over, with the crowning of the Southwestern University Cobras as the new kings of Cebu.

    Cobras rule anew

    CEBU — The Southwestern University Cobras attacked University of San Carlos Warriors’ weakness – the lack of maturity and experience–to win the deciding Game 5, 64-49, and the 2014 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) College Basketball title in the Cebu Coliseum Sunday night.

  • One more to go!

    One more to go!

    INSTEAD of his usual starters, Southwestern University Cobras coach Raul Alcoseba tweaked his starting line-up to gain the momentum early as the small but faster lineup caught the University of San Carlos Warriors, 60-49, to move a win away from clinching the 2014 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) College basketball title.

    Meanwhile, the University of the Visayas Green Lancers beat the University of San Jose-Recoletos Jaguars, 56-55, win to grab the Vis-Min Qualifier slot to the 2014 Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL) Elite Eight on Nov. 13-17 in Cebu City. (READ MORE)

    Pages: A letter from Boy Tiukinhoy

    I RECEIVED an email at 1:44 p.m. yesterday. The sender? He’s the CEO of Virginia Farms, Inc. But his message did not pertain to The Pork Shop (their retail store) or how VFI can supply us with quality meat; it was all basketball talk.

    Felix Tiukinhoy, Jr. is the commissioner of Cesafi. Spelled in full, that’s the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. Since the league started in 2001, one man has stood on top of the organization, receiving neither large salary nor high praises in this thankless job. In full, I reprint Tiukinhoy’s letter: (READ MORE)
