Ian Villegas , Princess Mamparo , Rina Kawano and John Talite , Ron Mena , Dara Leopardas , Hannah Balangan , Jair Lynn Mangubat , Arjay Libosada are just a few of the many outstanding athletes who were recently recognized in the “Agila Awards” organized by the University Student-Athletes’ Organization of the University of Southeastern Philippines .
The “Agila Awards” made me curious after learning about it because we all know that being a student-athlete at a government-funded university is not a walk in the park. These students have first to conquer the academic challenges and then, second, train hard for sports competition. Third na ang mga love life noh? Or basi, wala na, for the meantime ba, LoL.USeP is also into team sports like futsal, esports, dancesport, badminton, table tennis, lawn tennis and sepak takraw.
Student-athletes have been a source of athletes for the Davao City contingent in the national games for many years. Asa man di ay mo hulam ug athletes ang City Hall? Kon dili sa mga schools. If not for the sports program that has been in place by the schools, Davao City could not have a good representation to the national championships.
City Hall’s sports division does not feed the student-athletes, does not train them, does not even take care of them when they get injured. City Hall sports is a funding agency.Just imagine if the school athletes decided not to play for Davao City, can the City sanction them? City Hall cannot do anything.
