Protest stops new CFA board from taking post


(This report by Cheska D. Geli came out in Sun.Star Cebu on June 3)
THE newly-elected officers of the Cebu Football Association (CFA) will still have to wait before they officially start their term of office.


An election protest was submitted to the Philippine Football Federation (PFF), forcing the national governing body for football to hold the recognition of the new set of officers.



PFF said in its communication letter to the CFA dated May 28 that they are forced to refer the matter to the membership committee headed by Atty. Anlu Carpio and legal committee head Atty. Edwin Gastanes.


PFF however, did not specify the basis of the protest other than it is “election-related” and also did not mention who filed the protest.


The letter became PFF’s reply after the CFA board sent them the list of the newly-elected board of directors.


“Tungod ani kay dili pa mi ma-recognize. Gusto na unta mi mag turnover to check the financial aspect of the organization,” Glen Quisido.


“For now, we have to wait for the findings of the PFF committee regarding the election,” said Quisido.


But while waiting for the decision, they will continue to plan for their upcoming projects.


As of now, the new board is working on their plan to host a UFL match and an exhibition game against European teams.


"Pero gusto jud namo na kaning activities kay naay blessings sa PFF," said Quisido.

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.
