Caligdong says hew will stay with PAF

(This report came out on Sun.Star Cebu on Oct. 20)
ONE OF the country’s leading goal scorer Emilio “Chieffy” Caligdong will remain with the Philippine Air Force despite ongoing negotiations with another club who plans to sign him.

This was after the Philippine Air Force gave him the option to be honorably dismissed from service as a response to the demand of other clubs to hire high-skilled players to boost teams in the United Football League.

“Sa ngayon napagdesisyonan ko muna na manatali sa team kasi sayang naman nasa service na ako tapos bigla lang aalis. Pinaghirapan ko rin naman ito,” said Caligdong.

He was offered to play for a UFL team, which he did not name, before the World Cup Qualifiers against Sri Lanka and Kuwait.

Caligdong has been a sergeant for nine years and said he owes the PAF who had supported his career.

“Malaki talaga utang na loob ko sa kanila,” Caligdong said.

Nope, Queen City didn't make an offer. I think the offer was made pre Kuwait game, so that was before Queen City decided to join UFL Cup

The failed U23 experiment

THE only positive thing that we can take in that loss against Timor Leste was that the U23 squad looked good in blue. And Ebong, too. The Blue-Haired fanatic whose voice we all heard on TV was fantastic. The team? The result? To be perfectly blunt it was a scrappy game from a scrappy team that seemed to treat the SEAG as a vacation, or a chance to gain more Twitter followers. (Yey, I can tweet the team apology first!) Going into the match, almost every fan who paid attention knew that we needed to win. Unfortunately, it seemed the players were operating on a different mindset.

Fair Play: The Devil's Advocate and CFA vs. CAFC

(This is my Fair Play column for Sun.Star Cebu on Feb. 6) I GOT an interesting e-mail the other day about the consequences for teams that withdraw from PFF-organized national tournaments and its corresponding sanctions. I guess, it’s time to play Devil’s Advocate. For PFF-organized events, there are four types of withdrawals—after confirming participation but before grouping or scheduling takes place, after regional finals but before grouping in nationals, after the grouping in the nationals, and in the course of the national competition.
