by Kattryn Erryc Sayo BULACAN STATE UNIVERISTY - The College of Industrial Technology (CIT) Stingers once again proved their eminence and superiority in softball men’s division, bagging home the championship title in the recent BulSU Intamurals 2012.
The CIT softball men team battled against the lineup of Sarmiento Campus for the championship title at the Marcelo H. del Pilar Sports Complex yesterday. The CIT Stingers easily slaughtered Sarmiento Stars’ chance of bringing home the cup as the team dominated the game with the score of 14-1.
Having claimed lopsided victories with other BulSU colleges and campuses, CIT softball and baseball coach Charlie Cano believes that the softball men’s team has not yet encountered its most powerful opponent.
“Actually sa general evaluation ko, kung talagang totohanan ang sasabihin, wala. Any team, kayang i-beat. Kaya lang, syempre, hindi pa rin kami nagpapakasigurado. Ang medyo mabigat na kalaban namin dito is ‘yong COPERS, and then ‘yong Sarmiento Campus. Kaya lang sa nakita naming laro ng Sarmiento Campus kahapon, with the score of 14-1, masyadong malayo ang pagitan ng score at ng players,” said Cano.
Cano also shared the guarantee he felt that his softball team will win the title even before the final game started.
“Hindi naman sa kompyansa ako, pero nakita ko na sa kasi ‘yong klase ng laro ng kalaban. At saka mga manlalaro na ang nagdidikta ng laro. Hindi lang naman puro palakihan at palakasan ang softball eh, ginagamit din ang utak,” added Cano.
The Stingers’ softball and baseball coach also said that his team’s force increased when athletes from COPERS transferred to CIT. Cano disclosed that was one of the reasons why COPERS’ softball and baseball teams’ force somehow declined.
“’Yong tatlong trainee ng COPERS ay nakuha ko, nag-transfer sila sa CIT. ‘Yong lakas dati ng COPERS, nailipat ngayon sa CIT,” Cano uttered.
Owning the title this year is the 5th straight triumph of the CIT Stingers softball men, dating back from its very first trophy in 2008.

“No'ng tinawag kaming 1st runner up ok lang samin, tanggap namin. Kuntento kami sa nakuha namin no hard feelings,” Frias said.
“Siguro sa linis ng routine kami nagkulang kasi nalaglag yung isa sa'min during stunts. Siguro lilinisin pa namin 'yong routine namin at dadamihan pa namin 'yong flyer na iti-train para sa isang taon,” Frias added.
Five colleges joined the competition. They were the College of Home Economics (CHE) which won the title, College of Business Administration (CBA) which got the 1st runner up, and College of Education (CoEd) which was the 2nd runner up.

Meanwhile ,the College of Information and Communications Technology (CICT) PEP Squad were not allowed by their college Dean Fausto Hillario to join the competition due to last year's incident when one of their members fell during a stunt and was sent to the hospital.
“Syempre nakakalungkot kasi balak talaga naming bumawi kaso hindi talaga kami pinayagan ni dean. Nakakapanghinayang gusto pa naman naming sumali,” said August Bryan Simora, CICT PEP and Firefox Leader.
" Next intrams, ipu-push talaga namin 'yong pagsali sa cheer dance. Pipilitin talaga namin si dean, tsaka last year ko na, graduating na kasi 'ko next school year,” ended Simora.

Completing the group with five representatives was hard for Kenneth Taguinod, the group leader od the Hip Hop category.
“Kaming dalawa lang ni Arraine. Kahit sa Jazz kami sumali wala pa rin kaming members, dalawa lang kami,” Kenneth said.
After having the complete set of five, the group find it hard to have time for rehearsals due to schedule conflicts. They only practiced for two hours a day within two weeks.
As the group leader, Kenneth decided to color their hair with Yellow flames to be unique during the competition. They also had a hard time convincing the mother of Coleen, one of the members, to join them in the competition.
“Three years s'ang nahinto sa pagsasayaw kasi ayaw ng nanay nya. Iniyakan pa nga n'ya nanay n'ya para lang payagan s'yang sumali at magpakulay,” said Arraine Shantal Cruz.
“Ayaw din pumayag ni dean. Kailangan after ng contest magpaitim na ulit kami ng buhok kaso 'yong iba may sugat pa sa ulo kasi nasunog kaya hindi pa pwedeng kulayan ulit,” Arraine added.
Despite of these problems, Flames did not let the fire down. Because of the support of their college together with their coach Rowell Castro and with their dedication to win, they put up the fire on the dance floor and won.
“Mixed emotions. Shocked. Happiness. Masayang Masaya! Hindi nga kami makapaniwala no'ng una. Naiyak pa nga coach namin kasi ngayon lang nanalo college namin sa Hip Hop, laging sa Jazz. Masaya na kaming umabot sa top 3, pero mas masaya kasi kami 'yong champion. Hindi namin in-e-expect,” Arraine said.

By Dahren Sta. Ana Bulacan State University (BSU) is now preparing for the yearly Intramurals with this year's theme “Tatag ng Kalooban, Liksi ng Katawan, Talas ng Isipan at Pagkakapatiran, Lakas ng BulSuan sa taunang Intramural” in which all the colleges including the four satellite campuses of the university will show off their talents and abilities in sports, occurring on August 27 to 31.
The BulSU Intramurals 2012 will be hosted by the College of Physical Education, Recreation and Sports (COPERS). According to Dean Raquel Mendoza, it is always a work of the COPERS every year. Being in the college of PE and Sports, they are the ones tasked to prepare it.
The event will start with a parade at 7am on August 27, all the way from the Bulacan Sports Complex. It will be joined by the BSU Calm Riders Motorcycle Association Inc., Marshall, Colors, BulSU Officials, Officiating Official, BulSU Brass band, Bustos campus, Hagonoy Campus, Meneses Campus, Sarmiento Campus and different Colleges in the main campus.
“Intramurals is a very big event that Bulacan State University is really preparing for it. It is a scenario and regular activity of any school for the very beginning even during the time that BSU's name is still BCAT. It is almost a century. From the time since this school was built, Intramurals is a regular activity in the school,” said Dean Mendoza.
The event is sponsored by some volunteers and by athe BulSU administration. It is through the athletic fees that the students pay in their miscellaneous fee that is why the university has a fund for this kind of activity.
“There are some volunteers, I don’t know what they are going to give but in the Beauty Pageant I understand there are a number of sponsors that they could give, small prizes, but the major prizes will be coming from the administration. In the whole Intrams we’re getting it from the athletic fee,” Mendoza added.
Mendoza gave her outlook and reasons in this yearly intramurals in which every student will be given a chance to show their hidden abilities and to strengthen their self-confidence.
“Primarily, this could be a good break for a very monopoly academic endeavor. Another, it is also a way of scouting athletes for our varsity team and then, of course this is a break for everyone, to those who cannot participate in the varsity,” she ended.
by Reina Beatriz Peralta and Deliza Maye Fernandez After having a flawless victory in Central Luzon Football league (CLFL), the pride of Bulacan, Futbulakenyos, are now back to regular training and eyeing for some tournaments like the Alaska Cup that will be held in Alabang on November.
Futbulakenyos coach Emmanuel Robles said that they expect to face around 300 teams from different places and regions in the Philippines.
“Malaking competition 'yon kasi national competition 'yon eh. Alaska nga ang major sponsor nun kaya maraming sumasali,” said coach Robles.
The said game will only last for two days. It will be a seven-a-side football with different aged groups crashing. The winner will receive trophy, medals, certificates and gifts coming from the major sponsor, Alaska.
Members of Futbulakenyos that are students of Bulacan State University (BSU) are also preparing for the State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) meet. They will represent BSU, and compete with other State Universities and Colleges (SUC) in Ramon Magsaysay Technological University, Zambales on December.
Aside from Alaska Cup and SCUAA, Futbulakenyos also attempts to join other leagues outside Bulacan. For now, they are still asking for the permission of BSU if they can use the name of the university, but if the university will not allow them, then they will carry again the name “Futbulakenyos” and try to ask for financial support from the local government or groups.

Proving their abilities in Region III by being the first ever champion of the Central Luzon Football League (CLFL), Futbulakenyos are ready to face more battles, this time, representing thier alma mater Bulacan State University.
Now that their efficiency started to echo from place to place, many hopes to see this unbeatable football team to play and be on the next SCUAA Olympics, to show once again how incredible they are inside the field.
Roberto Lopez Jr., their Assistant Coach cleared that Futbulakenyos are not going to SUC Olympics as Futbulakenyos, instead they will go there to create a football team carrying the flag of Bulacan State University.
"We'll play as BSU football team not as Futbulakenyos, kasi kapag ganung SUC Olympics III, ang dinadala ay ang pangalan ng University," Lopez explained.
Majority of the members of Futbulakenyos are varsity players representing BulSU in the said Olympics. Team BulSU was reigned as football champion in the last SCUAA competition held at San Pablo Recreational Park in Tarlac City with Emmanuel Robles as their head coach. According to Assistant Coach Lopez, the game was played in a round robin way and Nueva Ecija was their closest rival.
For BulSU Intramurals, Assistant Coach expounded that once a varsity player had already joined and played the SCUAA Olympics, he’s prohibited to participate the University Intramurals. This is done to let other students from different colleges of the University to showcase their talents in football playing and somehow, Futbulakenyos can recruit and train new players from them.
“Sa Intrams hindi pwedeng maglaro ang mga varsity d'on maliban na lang d'on sa mga freshmen na ngayon pa lang nag-te-training. Pwede silang maglaro kasi kapag nakapaglaro ka na ng SUC Olympics, hindi ka na pwedeng maglaro ng Intrams. Para lang yun sa ibang estudyante na interesadong maglaro ng football,” he said.
For SCUAA, the goal of the football hunks is to bring honor to Bulacan State University. Lopez said that they keep practicing and conditioning their bodies for them to be prepared for the coming SCUAA Olympics.
“Sa training namin, pinaghahandaanan talaga namin. Talagang pinag-iisipan yung bawat gagawin. Yungstamina, agility, pampabilis ng paa, binti, hita. Halos lahat pampalakas ng katawan. Nag-ba-body weights rin kami para naman tumigas yung mga muscles.”
The Futbulakenyos are improving themselves physically well to be ready enough as they face another set of football battles and attend the SUC Olympics on January 2013 to be held at Iba, Zambales with the Ramon Magsaysay Technological University as the year’s next host.
