6th Baseball Cup set Feb. 11-12
BAGUIO Central Elementary School (BCES) is expected to pose a threat to defending champion Lt. Col. Villafuerte Sr. Elementary School (LCVSES) when the 6th Davao City Baseball Cup tips off at the University of Mindanao (UM) Matina diamond on February 11 to 12.
Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai International School (PNJKIS) school administrator Ines Mallari, secretariat in-charge of the annual event, said Baguio CES just dethroned Villafuerte batters in the Davao City Athletic Association (DCAA) Meet last year.
Because of this, Baguio CES earned the right to represent the city to the Davao Region Athletic Association (Davraa) Meet set on April 10 to 14 in Tagum City and New Bataan, Compostela Valley.
"Baguio Central is a new entry in the Baseball Cup this year and they are coming fresh from a championship. For sure, the Villafuerte team will try to hold on to its Baseball Cup elementary division title if only to avenge their DCAA loss to Baguio Central. Villafuerte is already a five-time champion in this league," Mallari said during the Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn on Thursday.
She said Biao Elementary School is also a new team in the elementary level, while Wangan High School is the lone beginner in the secondary side in the two-day meet that attracted a total of 13 elementary and six High School teams.
DCBA president Joaquin "Boy" Sarabia said it is expected for teams that lost in a particular tournament to bounce back in another tournament.
Baseball Cup High School division reigning champion Calinan National High School will face a similar plight as DCAA Meet tormentor Crossing Bayabas National High School is out to challenge them. CBNHS, a third placer in the Cup last year, also bagged the DCAA title.
The Tokyo Kichijoji Lions Club-backed tournament offers cash prizes, trophies, plaques, medals and baseball equipment to the first three placers in each category.
Division most valuable players (MVPs) will each pocket P1,000 and a medal.
Participating teams will be given transportation subsidy, lunch for two days and a fellowship dinner in the event also sponsored by Nitten Company, Kazuma Sports, Yakult Philippines, Probiotics Inc. and PNJKIS and supported by Coach Hidetoshi Suzuki, Masaaki Uchida, Hiroyuki Komaki, Mindanao Kokusai Daigaku, Mayor Sara Duterte, Department of Education and Dr. Helen Paguican.

Davao's Ambasa, Nerza to join more races, Prisaa meet opens January 21 , HGS run fires off January 30
Davao's Ambasa, Nerza to join more races
CEBU City Marathon 2011 women's champion Monalisa Ambasa and men's fourth-placer Anthony Nerza of Davao City vowed to run more races this year following their recent feats.
Ambasa, the 27-year-old ace from Toril, said she will take a short break before she joins another 42-kilometer race in the Condura Skyway Marathon slated February 6 in Manila.
Greet your friends and families this Sinulog season. Sun.Star covers Sinulog 2011 live!
Ambasa said she won't run any race the next two weeks but she might enter the Holiday Run for Healthy Living on January 30 as a tune-up event for the Condura.
"I am only limiting myself to join three full marathons a year. I had my first in Cebu then Condura as my second. I'm looking forward to race in the National Milo Marathon again for my last 42K. I would then join shorter races in between," Ambasa told members of the Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum during their weekly forum at the Tower Inn Thursday.
Ambasa finished fourth in the National Milo Marathon last year.
Nerza, a varsity trackster from Brokenshire College, said his immediate race will be the Run To Serve for the benefit of the Psoriasis Club of the Southern Philippines Medical Center on January 16. He will also don the city's colors in the National Collegiate Games Regional Meet on January 21 to 23 where he is entered in the men's 5K and 10K events.
"It will be my first time to compete in the regional meet. I hope I'll make it through the nationals and perhaps win a gold," Nerza said.
Nerza, a 2007 Palarong Pambansa gold medalist, placed fifth in the men's 42K event of the 2010 National Milo Marathon held on December 12.
He also said he will continue to join every local race he could get his hands on to keep him fit and ready for future bigger competitions. (MLSA)

Prisaa meet opens January 21
SLOTS to the National Collegiate Games are up for grabs when the Regional Meet unfolds on January 21 to 23 at the University of Mindanao (UM) Matina campus in Davao City.
Region 11 Private Schools Athletic Association (Prisaa) assistant executive director Joaquin "Boy" Sarabia, appearing in Thursday's Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn, said the regional finals serves as a selection process for the national event.
Greet your friends and families this Sinulog season. Sun.Star covers Sinulog 2011 live!
"We will choose the best and top players for every team and for every individual event to boost our chances in the national championship set on February 20 to 26 in Manila." Sarabia said.
He said the annual sportsfest is now called NCG as it covers not just the Prisaa but also the State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (Scuaa) and the Local Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (LCUAA).
But, he said Prisaa still runs the operations of the city and regional qualifying as well as the national finals.
Though defending champion Davao City is expected to dominate most events, Sarabia said Davao del Norte is still the team to beat in boxing and beach volleyball.
"Davao del Norte won for the region the gold medals in boxing and beach volleyball in the National Ched Palaro last year. They are most likely to defend their crowns both in the regional and national meets this year," Sarabia said.
Davao City's men's and women's judo teams from UM and Holy Cross of Davao College, however, are strong forces to reckon with as they too are national defending champions.
The host city, composed of 18 member schools, will also try to keep its reign in men's and women's basketball, men's and women's chess, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's badminton, men's and women's table tennis, men's and women's taekwondo, men's sepak takraw, men's baseball, women's softball and men's football, men's and women's swimming and men's and women's athletics, among others.
Davao del Sur, meanwhile, may put up a good showing in athletics.
Swimming will be held at the DMMA College of Southern Philippines while taekwondo will be played at the NCCC Mall of Davao and the rest of the action will be at UM Matina.
The annual event also features academic and cultural competitions. (Marianne Saberon-Abalayan)
