    Limpag: Cesafi linkage to benefit Cebu sports

    I SEE Felix Tiukinhoy so often in Cesafi matches–often without fail–that I sometimes forget the busy businessman is involved in other interests as well as being president and chairman of Virginia Foods Inc. Lately, the Cesafi commissioner was in the news because of another hat he wears, the head of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Cebu, which will send a team for 10 days to come up with linkages with Canada’s businessmen.

    I thought, well, the very busy Tiukinhoy will have 10 days away from Cesafi concerns, but then again, I got a light-bulb moment. What if Cesafi hitches a ride to the Canada mission? (READ MORE)

  • Limpag: Cheating puts everyone under suspicion

    INCREDULOUS. That’s what most of my friends’ reaction was on the news that only the Cebu Eastern College player is behind the tampering of his NSO record and that no one else was aware of it.

    A friend, who has seen his son go through the youngest age group through the men’s open said, that the kid received wrong advise from the wrong people. People with a wrong sense of value and principle. (READ MORE)

    Limpag: Cesafi shows it means business

    THE Cebu Institute of Technology-University basketball teams found out that the Cesafi really meant it when it said players with no ECG tests results won’t be allowed to play. The high school and basketball team lost their first game even without taking a shot after the commissioner had them defaulted against the University of the Visayas.

    For the Cesafi officials, they mean business when it comes to this requirement and I think it’s a rigid rule that should be followed.

  • Community service

    Community service

    ERRING coaches and players will have to deal with more than a suspension and a fine for misconduct in the 20015 Season of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) tournaments.

    If the Cesafi board will approve the measure, coaches, players or team officials will need to do community service as part of the sanction for not behaving properly in the game. (READ MORE)

  • Limpag: A suggestion for Cesafi

    Limpag: A suggestion for Cesafi

    AFTER a pre-season that was marred by a walk-out of one of its biggest teams, the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc., has issued a reminder to coaches, players and officials alike to be mindful of their behavior this season.

    Cesafi commissioner Felix Tiukinhoy reminded the coaches that thing that they often overlook, that they not only represent the school and their team, but a community involving everyone in the school—alumni, teachers, students, staff and owners. (READ MORE)

  • Limpag: Take a bow Cesafi for a great season

    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)

  • Pages: A letter from Boy Tiukinhoy

    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)

  • Limpag: What’s wrong with Cesafi schedule?

    Limpag: What’s wrong with Cesafi schedule?

    FIRST it was the football tournament. Now basketball, too?

    Had the original schedule in football pushed through, the finalists of the Cesafi football tournament would have played back-to-back matches in two days, something that’s uncalled for in a tournament whose members just belong in one area. (READ MORE)

    Sun.Star brings Cesafi caging closer to Cebuanos

    FOR three years now, the Sun.Star website at www.sunstar.com.ph has been streaming live the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) basketball games in both high school and college divisions, taking the hardcourt action closer to its most avid supporters.

    This year, Sun.Star further improves its capabilities to give the viewers a clearer and more comprehensive coverage of the games. (READ MORE)

  • Limpag: Why USC should rally behind their Warriors

    Limpag: Why USC should rally behind their Warriors

    WHEN I was still a correspondent in early 200s, there were basically two questions that would start a long debate among colleagues as no one had a clear cut answer – how long is the UV Green Lancers’ win streak and how long is the USC Warriors losing streak?

    Back then, covering the Cesafi basketball was as interesting as watching paint dry–UV would win all the games and the titles and all the Lancers need to do, it seems, is show up. On the other side of the coin, the USC Warriors would lose all games so badly that it was often suggested that the school drop the Warriors moniker.  (READ MORE)
