WHILE Cebu celebrates the Sinulog weekend, the Cebu Regional Football Association U16 team will compete in the Visayas eliminations of the Philippine Football Federation U16 Boys National Championship on Jan. 17 at San Carlos City Negros, Occidental.
Being able to compete is already an achievement in itself for the team, represented by Don Bosco Boys Home Liloan. Their school was flooded during Typhoon Tino last November, and the team lost most of their equipment and uniform.
The team, made up of Kent Ivan Malazarte, Clark Josol, Joseph Aeron Beralde, Latrell Bonjoc, William Maglasang, Serge Angelo Dingding, Yuan Alexis Perales, Akioh Relator, Juffrey Abrio, Froilan Del Rosario, John Evans Remulta, Aeron Pepito, Gian Edric Alfante, Joseph Joring Jr., Kadin Dee Camilon, Ayn Gabriel Quidlat, Kurt Andre Toledo, Jeve Velasco, Flint Jurie Timbangan, Jeshua Manuel Tadle, Russelito Bucag, Ayn Sebastian Quidlat, and Sean Lao, will be competing against teams from the Iloilo-Guimaras, Eastern Visayas, Negros Oriental-Siquijor, and Negros Occidental RFAs.
