ARELLANO KNOCKS ON NCAA DOOR


ARELLANO University has signified its “serious intent” to join the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the country’s oldest collegiate league.

In a two-page letter to NCAA President, Dr. Reynaldo Vea of this year’s host Mapua Institute of Technology, Arellano chairman and chief executive officer Francisco Cayco cited the school’s annual enrolment base of 40,000 students among its six campuses all over Metro Manila.

He likewise underscored Arellano’s active participation in both national and international athletic competitions such as the Palarong Pambansa with its students even representing the country in the Southeast Asian Games in badminton, platform diving, wrestling, taekwondo, table tennis, volleyball, track and field, swimming and basketball.

Cayco pointed out that basketball forms the backbone of the school’s athletic program which won Arellano championships in the Philippine Amateur Basketball League (PABL), now the Philippine Basketball League (PBL), and the National Intercollegiate Championships.

The Arellano executive underscored that the school’s successful basketball program continues to this day.

Only two months ago, Arellano won the men’s basketball title in the highly-competitive Fr. Martin’s Cup Division 1, defending the Chiefs’ title in 2007. Its junior team likewise bagged the Fr. Martin’s Cup Division 2 title last year.

Both the Chiefs and Braves bagged the National Capital Region Athletic Association (NCRAA) seniors and juniors titles, respectively, in November 2006, barely two years after the school revived its basketball program.

“We believe our strong athletics programs from our grade school, high school and collegiate leagues will complement and enhance the quality of competition in the NCAA,” Cayco wrote Vea.

Cayco also noted that Arellano has “the student and alumni population whose love for sports will greatly contribute to the NCAA.”

So far, the NCAA, now on its 84th year, has eight member schools, namely, Mapua, Colegio de San Juan de Letran, Jose Rizal University, College of St. Benilde, Perpetual Help University, Philippine Christian University, San Beda College, and San Sebastian College.

League insiders say that there are at least six other schools interested in joining or re-joining the NCAA. These are former member-school Trinity College, Emilio Aguinaldo College, Lyceum of the Philippines, Manuel L. Quezon University, Las Pinas Colleges and Don Bosco-Makati.

Q & A WITH FRANCISCO PAULINO CAYCO
Posted August 05, 2008

Sports News (Reprinted from the Manila Bulletin, Sunday, July 27, 2008, page P-3)

By WILLIE B. CABALLES


With the collegiate sports competitions heating up, Arellano University is going all out in its sports programs. With this in mind, the university officials made formal their intention of going into wider participation by seeking membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

The Manila Bulletin sought, and was granted, a one-on-one with Arellano University president Francisco Paulino V. Cayco.

MANILA BULLETIN: Why are you seeking membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association?

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY: When we started to reap championship honors in various athletic competitions in both the foreign and national levels after embarking on a comprehensive athletics program five years ago, we felt it was time for us to manifest our readiness to join the bigger leagues such as the NCAA. We produced athletes who won championship honors or competed in the big leagues like the Palarong Pambansa and the Southeast Asian Games in badminton, platform diving, judo, wrestling, volleyball, basketball, taekwondo, table tennis and the martial arts, among others. In 2004 we were second runner-up in basketball in the MBBL Kiko Pangilinan Cup. Two years after we were first runner-up in the 13th season of the NCRAA in both men’s and boy’s basketball. In the same year we became the 14th season NCRAA champions in both men’s and boy’s basketball. In 2007, we became the Summer League men’s basketball champion of the Father Martin’s Cup Division 1 and the boy’s basketball champion of the Father Martin’s Cup Division 2. This year, we became the 15th season NCRAA champion in both men’s and boy’s division and also the Father Martin’s Cup Division 1. Thus, we feel we are now ready to join the bigger leagues.

MB: What do you think could Arellano contribute to strengthen the NCAA?

AU: Our biggest contribution will be our annual enrolment base of 40 thousand students together with an active alumni base in the thousands. Moreover, most members of our Board of Trustees and management were in their younger years athletically inclined if not gifted. Thus, there is very strong inclination, interest and motivation from top management to support athletics and related programs. We also believe we have in place an athletics program that is competitive with the quality and caliber of the NCAA.

MB: What recent successes in the field of sports could you cite which you feel qualifies Arellano University to join the NCAA?

AU: In addition to what has been mentioned previously, we have students who recently participated in the women’s platform diving in China, champion of the High School Boys Division in the 2005 JVC Badminton Tournament, NCRAA badminton champions in 2005, Palarong Pambansa Girls’ Badminton champion in 2006, local tournament champions in taekwondo, karate and table tennis as well as national pool athletes in wrestling.

In men’s basketball, we also were National Intercollegiate Champions in 1983, Philippine Amateur Basketball League (PABL) First Founders Cup champions in 1983, National Student Basketball Metro Manila Champion in 1984, third runner-up in the PABL Challenge to Champion in 1985.

MB: Could you give us a background of Arellano University?

AU: We were founded as a law school 70 years ago in 1938 as the Arellano Law College. That is why the school was named Arellano because as a law college it was named after Cayetano Arellano, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. In 1945, it was one of the first schools to open right after the Second World War where it became Arellano Colleges. In 1947, Arellano Colleges was granted a university status and became Arellano University. Thus, just like the established schools which are currently in the NCAA and UAAP, we have a long history and background to speak of. In those days Arellano University was very active and competitive in sports such as baseball, track and field and basketball. The order of the day then was competing and playing in tournaments in different towns and provinces, especially during fiestas. In 1950, Arellano University was PUAA champion in basketball. It also competed in basketball tournaments in Malaysia and Singapore. The University management decided to quit competitive sports in the late Fifties when games became unwieldy and unmanageable.

MB: The NCAA has stringent rules on school participation in all of its sports events as well as sports facilities. How will Arellano University address these concerns of the NCAA board?

AU: I am very confident we have the resources and the determination to comply and meet these requirements. In terms of athletic facilities, gyms have been built according to acceptable international standards. Complementing our in-house facilities are tie-ups with off-campus facilities such as the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex for other sports.

MB: There are other aspirants for membership in the NCAA. Without naming these schools, what sets Arellano University apart from them?

AU: Our annual student population base of 40,000 is a significant factor that sets us apart from the other schools. Our achievements as a consequence of our sport programs in both local and international levels and a sport-loving top management who has the will to support, push and bring the school to a higher competitive level in sports. Our varsity basketball team has been ranked in the Power Ratings as among the top 13 teams in the country. We are the only non-member of either the NCAA or UAAP in the top 13.

MB: Any more words to the NCAA Board to show just how serious you are in your intent to join the league?

AU: We strongly feel we can add some values to the NCAA by reason of our student and alumni population as well as our track record which speaks for itself. We feel we are adequately prepared to join and meet the standards of the NCAA in competitive sports as well as comply with their requirements. We have always been in good standing in all the leagues we have joined as well as adhered to the dictates of good sportsmanship.

Dati ang name ng varsity team namin ay Flaming Arrows. Yun kasi ang name ng mga dean's lister namin sa law school, Order of the Flaming Arrows. Pinalitan nila sa Chiefs. Medyo may reservations nga ako. Parang mas okey yung flaming arrows kasi conflict sa Beda with their Indian Yell.

Well, we've been doing our best to prove our worth sa NCAA. Sana matangap talaga kami for next season para may cheer naman kaming mga Arelaynista.

NCAA eyes roster of 10 teams in 2010

By June Navarro
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 05:59:00 10/17/2008


MANILA, Philippines—Two seasons from now, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) will have 10 member schools under its wings.

In a marathon six-hour board meeting Thursday, the 84-year-old sports institution agreed to lay down the groundwork for the entry of two more schools in 2010.

The NCAA board officially accepted applications from Emilio Aguinaldo College, Arellano University, Centro Escolar University, Angeles University Foundation and Lyceum of the Philippines University besides getting feelers from Don Bosco Technical College-Mandaluyong and Technological Institute of the Philippines.

NCAA management committee (Mancom) chair Ding Lozano of host Mapua Institute of Technology said the league will pick from among these aspirants the school that will take the slot to be vacated by Philippine Christian University next year.

By 2010, two more schools from the pool of aspirants will be added to the roster, Lozano said.

The PCU Dolphins will take an indefinite leave of absence next season as part of the condition for the school’s reinstatement this year following a suspension slapped by the NCAA for fielding several ineligible players in 2006.

Lozano said PCU will also have to apply along with the other aspiring schools to rejoin the league in 2010 after serving a two-year suspension.

“The target is to maintain the membership of eight schools next year and increase the number by 2010,” said Lozano.

“We will start setting up the criteria for these applicants as soon as practical.”

A reliable source within the NCAA policy board revealed that an applicant needs to cough up P5 million as entry fee.

Once accepted, the school must also participate in the 10 sports calendared by the NCAA for the next three years with entries in the high school and collegiate levels.

Besides basketball, NCAA also holds competition in track and field, beach volleyball, chess, swimming, volleyball, taekwondo, lawn tennis, table tennis and football.

Meanwhile, the joint NCAA policy board and Mancom will still ask Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas executive director Noli Eala to explain in writing the circumstances surrounding the aborted pullout of referees in the recent NCAA Finals.

NCAA to announce new team before year ends
10/16/2008 | 06:21 PM
Email this | Email the Editor | Print | Digg this | Add to del.icio.us
MANILA, Philippines – The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) will announce its new member school before the year ends, the league management committee said Thursday.

According to ManCom chairman Ding Lozano of Mapua, the announcement will be made on December 16.

Emilio Aguinaldo College, Centro Escolar University, Angeles Foundation University, Arellano University and Lyceum of the Philippines are the top candidates to crack the eight-league team and take up the spot left vacant by Philippine Christian University which will take a leave of absence.

Technological University of the Philippines and Don Bosco Mandaluyong are also knocking on the league's door but they have yet to send a letter of intent.

The five schools will have to comply with the requirements which include having a high-school varsity program, participation in all sports events calendared in the NCAA, undergoing a three-year probationary period and the payment of a P5-million membership fee.

Lozano added that the expansion may not stop this year.

"By 2009, we may add two more schools bringing to 10 our members for the 85th NCAA season," Lozano said.

The league's youngest teams are PCU, which joined in 1996, and College of Saint Benilde, which entered the tournament in 1998. - GMANews.TV

But that would mean that the Greywolves (DBTI-Manda) will use DBTI-Makati's HS players for their junior squad. Hmmm, diba may team name na iba ang Makati? By the way, graduate din ako ng DBTI Makati. :D

Pwede ring All Star selection ng Makati, Mandaluyong, Tondo, Pampanga, Cebu at Tarlac yung highschool team ng Don Bosco. Pag nangyare yan..instant juniors dynasty na sa Basketball, Volleyball, Football at Swimming hehehe :D

Far Eastern University B and Arellano University took divergent paths to the FMC Division 2 Finals: FEU B leaned on the steady freethrow shooting of RP Youth pointguard Ryan Roose Garcia in the end game to edge San Beda B 65-57. Arellano displayed game long brilliance to dump Technological Institute of the Philippines 76-57. Both teams wound up the eliminations with identical and immaculate 8-0 records.

The one game Finals shall be on 26 October at the TIP Gymnasium in P Casal, Manila

How old is your main man Daroya?

I remember nasa SBC Team B pa lang sina Ekwe and Escobal playing in the FMC in 2005 and yet Daroya was already considered a "veteran" then.

Given this fact, I am wondering whether your present players are eligible under the more stringent NCAA rules? If AU will be admitted, you may have to start from scratch.

Arellano Chiefs seek NCAA inclusion



Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 02:22:00 11/01/2008


MANILA, Philippines—Arellano University, the back-to-back National Capital Region Athletic Association champion, is ready to join the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Val Cayco, Arellano’s vice president for marketing who personally handles the school’s athletic program, on Friday said the Chiefs are equipped in meeting all the requirements needed to become the 84-year-old NCAA’s eighth member for next year.

“We’re ready,” said Cayco, noting that the Chiefs have been ruling the field not only in the NCRAA, but also in the Fr. Martin Cup as the back-to-back Summer Cup and Division II Cup champions.

Mentored by Leo Isaac, the Legarda-based dribblers walloped UAAP powerhouse Far Eastern University, 64-56, in last week’s finale to clinch their third title in the Fr. Martin Cup.

And credit that to hardworking players like Orlando Daroya, Adrian Celada, Ice Ciriacruz, Jordan Melano, Leonard Anquillo, Jerome Agustin and Rommel del Rosario.

“All we want is respect; I’m sure they’ve started to notice us right now,” said Isaac, a former Ginebra star who coaches the Mapua Cardinals in the NCAA as well.

The NCAA has opened the door for an eighth spot that was vacated by Philippine Christian U, which took an indefinitely leave of absence for next season.

Warriors, Chiefs, UL 5 in big starts

By Jasmine W. Payo
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 03:40:00 11/04/2008


MANILA, Philippines—James Martinez fueled University of the East’s late-game surge and the Warriors turned back the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals, 92-74, at the start Monday of the 2008 Philippine Collegiate Championship zonals at the Makati Coliseum.

Martinez buried back-to-back triples in a 14-2 UE binge with five minutes to go to seal the win that gave the Warriors the lead in Group D play.

Pari Llagas topscored with 23 points and nine rebounds, while Martinez finished with 17 markers for the Warriors, who bucked the absence of stars Marcy Arellano and Hans Thiele.

“We have at least seven players who haven’t been regularly practicing with us because they’re also practicing with their teams in the PBL [Philippine Basketball League],” said UE coach Dindo Pumaren.

Earlier, Orlando Daroya knocked in 22 points as the Arellano University Chiefs overwhelmed Region 1 champ St. Louis University, 82-36, in Group B action.

University of Luzon also gained headway in Group A after tripping Lyceum of Batangas, 79-62.

The top team in each group will earn a berth in the “Sweet 16” finals of the tournament that gathers the top varsity squads in the country.

Backstopped by the lanky Ruel Jabaybay, the Generals mounted repeated comebacks in the second half to wipe out the Warriors’ 15-point edge, 54-39, and move within four at 73-69.

Llagas and Elmer Espiritu, who chipped in 13 points, three steals and two blocks, kept the Warriors on top, before Martinez took over.

Raffy Reyes, son of ex-pro Elmer Reyes, added 10 markers, while Paul Lee delivered an all-around game of six points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals for the Warriors.

UAAP champion Ateneo de Manila University and runner-up De La Salle University and NCAA titlist San Beda College and second placer Jose Rizal University, along with four other varsity champions, clinched outright slots in the Sweet 16.

The winner of the national tournament will represent the country in the Universiade Games in Serbia and bag a P1-million total cash prize.

The scores:

First Game

ARELLANO 82—Daroya 22, Ciriacruz 9, Melaño 9, Del Rosario 8, Apostol 7, Rivera 6, Agustin 6, Virtuolazo 4, Miranda 4, Celada 3, Anquillo 2, Limboy 2.

ST. LOUIS 36—Rosales 8, Alimba 6, Garbonza 6, Jimenez 5, Depuña 5, Torio 4, Ang 2.

Quarters: 21-6, 41-20, 67-31, 82-36

Second Game

UNIV. OF LUZON 79—Ilao 21, Panunciar 18, Sabordo 12, Cubo 11, Santos 5, Cubo 4, Caiña 4, Clores 4.

LYCEUM-BATANGAS 62—Velarde 16, Reyes 14, Katigbac 10, Busamante 8, Bautista 4, Marasigan 4, Caranto 2, Ducay 2, Villanueva 2.

Quarters: 19-15, 34-32, 53-52, 79-62

Third Game

UE 92—Llagas 23, Martinez 19, Espiritu 13, Reyes 10, Bandaying 6, Lee 6, Zamar 5, Acuña 4, Tagarda 2, Noble 2, Etrone 2.

EAC 74—Jabaybay 21, Mendoza 17, Pupos 15, Quiambao 8, Yaya 7, Santos 4, Fotue 2, Cubo 0, Chong 0, Liwag 0.

Chiefs ready to meet 'NC' requirements
Updated November 18, 2008 12:00 AM
philstar.com

The National Collegiate Athletic Association board recently visited applicant Arellano University and found the Legarda-based school ready to meet some, if not all, the necessary requirements needed to be accepted as the league’s newest member.

Members of the NCAA Management Committee chaired by Ding Lozano of Mapua had a positive response on the Chiefs’ readiness to join the oldest, prestigious league in the land today.

“There are some things Arellano would need to improve but we also found many good and positive things about them,” said Lozano.

Val Cayco, Arellano’s marketing chief who is also personally overseeing the school’s athletic program, said they are ready to provide all the requirements needed to join the 84-year-old league.

“Two of the three basic requirements are the entrance fee amounting somewhere around P7 million and the applicants need to have a high school. We both have it,” said Cayco.

The third one, and probably the most important of the requirements, is for the applicant to participate in all 10 sporting events the first three seasons without fail.

“Of the 10 sports, we have existing programs in basketball, volleyball, taekwondo, judo, swimming and chess and we’re in the process of laying the foundation on other events including track and field,” said Cayco.

Arellano, 2 others invited as Season 85 guest teams
Business Mirror Sports
Written by Reuben Terrado / Reporter
Monday, 20 April 2009 21:29

ARELLANO University, Emilio Aguinaldo College and Angeles University Foundation have been invited by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to become guest teams in the league’s 85th season.

Fr. Mat de Jesus, OSB, season president of host San Beda College, however, stressed the invited schools will have to follow the conditions set by the league.

The teams must pay a P1.5-million entrance fee and a P500,000 bond. They must also participate in mandatory sports such as athletics and swimming.

NCAA Management Committee (Mancom) chairman Jose Mari Lacson said the league has given the three schools until Friday to send their replies.

The league opens with the basketball competitions on June 27 at the Araneta Coliseum.

De Jesus clarified that inviting a team does not mean it will be automatically admitted as a regular in the next season.

“It’s a different thing. They still need to apply,” said de Jesus.

If the three schools agree to join the season as guest teams, the number of squads—at least in basketball—will jump to 10. The regular members are San Beda College, Jose Rizal University, Letran, San Sebastian College-Recoletos, University of Perpetual Help, College of Saint Benilde and Mapua. Philippine Christian University has filed an indefinite leave starting this season.

Well, bakit ang San Beda may animo din tulad ng la salle?

Siguro naman walang monopoly ng paggamit ng cheer na Hail di ba?

But I like the Dela Salle Alma Mater Hymn, next to ours of course.

Anyway, kung ano man ang gamitin ng AU, full blast ang support ko sa alma mater ko kahit nag rereview ako now for the bar exams. Sayang nga lang opening pala is on the 27th of June, di ako makakapunta, its my wedding day. BTW, my wife to be is a graduate of San Beda Law. Sana hindi muna maglaban yung mga schools namin sa opening. hehehehe

Hail to the AU Chiefs!!!!!:)

Basta hindi naka patent ang la salle sa hail, me think there's no worry.

Meron daw dalawang African daw tapos wala na si Daroya but the team is relatively the same pa din.

Di ko lang alam kung yung dalawang African can now play sa Season 85. Although malakas daw ang mga katawan nun dalawa, medyo lacking pa skills nila. Nabasa ko din lang sa isang forum itong report na ito.

Yung dalawang Aprikano ba ayos na ang residency nila?

Re Hail: I don't think De La Salle would make a big deal of "hail" as much as other schools would want to make sole claim of their catchphrases.

Three NCAA ‘additions’ flabbergasted

By Beth Celis
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 23:34:00 05/05/2009

Filed Under: Basketball



SHORTLY AFTER guest schools Arellano University, Emilio Aguinaldo College and Angeles University Foundation were assessed P2 million each (P1.5 million for tournament fee, P500,000 for bond), the NCAA management committee informed them that athletes who participated in the last NCRAA (National Capital Region Athletic Association) would not be eligible to play in this season’s tournaments.

According to the committee, an athlete is required a year’s residency if he participated in another major league the previous year like, for example, the NCRAA. The requirement does not apply to freshmen and athletes who did not compete in any organized tournament in the previous year.

The three schools were reportedly flabbergasted. Arellano and EAC, both NCRAA regulars, had agreed to join the NCAA even only as guest teams, based on the premise that the athletes they had trained in the NCRAA will be “elevated” to the NCAA.

Now the league is telling them to scrounge around for new players. They will have to start from scratch. In the case of basketball, they only have two months to form a new team since the opening is set on June 27.

Time constraint is not the only problem. Where will they get their players? A basketball Team B is definitely not competitive, assuming any of the three schools has one.

An all-freshman lineup, on the other hand, will be a pushover.

“For sure, the three newcomers will become the whipping boys of the league—which defeats the purpose of acquiring additional teams, as envisioned by television coveror ABS-CBN,” said an official of one of the schools.

He pointed out that in the case of the College of St. Benilde, the school was allowed to field in their NCRAA athletes when they joined the NCAA some years back.

"Guest teams" nga eh. E di kung ano yung current team nila... yun ang guests na dapat paglaruin. Saan sila kukuha ng players?? Mga intramural players? Eh magsasayang lang tayo ng game days nyan. Every game lalamangan sila ng trenta? No offense meant... pag cellar dwellers nga kalaban, boring na (pero may occasional upsets pa rin), yung pang mga inassemble in 2 hours!

Ang goal daw nila increase sa gate at tv audience.. eh kung taga Pampangga ka at tatambakan ka lang, luluwas ka pa ba ng Maynila? Kung nasa opisina ka at may game ang alma mater mo, magaabala ka pa ba manood ng TV?

Estupido....
