Viper Beach Volleyball club

The Batang Pinoy 2026 Guidelines are finally out. And with that, we are officially preparing to pass on the title of “Batang Pinoy 2025 Girls’ Beach Volleyball Champion” to whoever will rise victorious in this year’s tournament. 🏐🏆
It has been an incredible honor and privilege to represent Bacolod City for two consecutive years and bring home podium finishes—Batang Pinoy 2024 Bronze Medalist and Batang Pinoy 2025 Champion, along with the exclusive plush toy reserved only for the champions. 🥉🏆

As we bid farewell to the tournament, we can’t help but feel a little sad, but also incredibly proud. With the age category changing from 17U to 15U, we will forever hold a special place in Batang Pinoy history as the one and only 17U Girls’ Beach Volleyball Champions of Bacolod City. The last Champion in our age category and Bacolod City will be the last city to hold the crown in the 17U Girls’ Beach Volleyball category. 👑

To our successors who will represent Bacolod City in Batang Pinoy 2026 Girls’ Beach Volleyball—people and we may expect a lot from you, just as they did from us. But always remember: be yourself, trust your team, and give it your best shot. The crown may be passed on, but the pride of representing our city will always be ours to carry. ❤️💙

To the people of the City of Bacolod, Mayor Greg Gasataya, our City Councilors, Atty. “Maninoy” Marty Go, Sir Nico Delfin “Maninoy,” Atty. Rhett Demonteverde “Maninoy,” and the ever-supportive people from OYSD, headed by Sir Adrian Melocoton—thank you for believing in and supporting us.
To our Sports Office Momma Geraldine Montemayor and Sports Office Poppa Jillord Mercado, thank you for always being there for us and for supporting our journey.

To our loving and supportive parents, thank you for every sacrifice, every cheer, every reminder, and every moment you stood behind us. We could not have done this without you.

To Reylin Verayo Our Coach, our tatay, we'll forever be greatful of having you not just as coach but as our father figure as always. To our manong Jason Sequihod Melligen thank you for all the sacrifices.

And above all, to the Almighty God, without You, none of these achievements would have ever been possible. Thank You for guiding us, protecting us, giving us strength when we needed it most, and blessing us throughout this journey. Every victory, every challenge, and every opportunity is a testament to Your grace. All glory and honor belong to You. 🙏❤️
Our time as the 2025 Girls’ Beach Volleyball Champions may soon come to an end, but the memories, friendships, battles, and pride we gained will stay with us forever.

Now, we prepare to sign off and bequeath our sand crowns to the next Batang Pinoy champions this December. 👑🏐

Your 2025 Batang Pinoy Girls’ Beach Volleyball Champions will soon be signing off.

Once champions, always champions. 🏆❤️

Not every get together has to be grand—sometimes, all it takes is good company, great conversations, and time well spent together.

Our Viper Ma and Pa Saturday was one for the books! From coffee and catching up at Sofia's La Salle to sharing a comforting dinner at Del's Batchoy in Mercado, every moment was filled with laughter, stories, beach volleyball talks, and the kind of effortless conversations that remind us why this team is more than just a team.

What started through Beach volleyball has grown into something even more meaningful—a friendship that feels like family.

We missed having Mommy Janine, Daddy Arnie, Daddy Marco, and of course, Coach Don with us. It wasn't quite the same without you, but we'll make sure the next get together is complete.

Until the next Viper Ma and Pa get-together—here's to more memories, more laughs, and many more Saturdays together. ❤️🏐☕🍜

🤍 Happy Birthday to Our Dearest Ms. Carmela Arcolas Gamboa 🎉💚

Today we celebrate so much more than just another year added to your life—we celebrate the beautiful, gentle, incredible impact you have made on every single one of us who has been lucky enough to cross paths with you. You are so much more than someone we know; you are a light, a safe place, a quiet strength, and the kind of soul that makes the world feel warmer, brighter, and more hopeful just by being in it.

We have watched you pour your whole self into everything you love: into the dreams you chase with unshakable passion, into the teams you guide, cheer for, and stand beside through every win and every hard lesson, into the young athletes, friends, and family you lift up even on days when you have little left to give yourself. What makes you so extraordinary, Ms. Carmela, is that your passion never overshadows your kindness—instead, it walks hand in hand with it, perfectly balanced. You love deeply, you listen patiently, you believe in people even when they cannot believe in themselves, and you help others rise without ever asking for anything in return. You do not just “help” people—you truly see them. You see their hidden potential, their quiet struggles, their unspoken hopes, and you stay right there with them until they can finally see it too.

There are so many lives you have touched in ways you may never fully know: the young player who found the courage to keep going because you kept showing up for them, the friend who found comfort because you held space for their tears without judgment, the teammate who felt like they belonged because you went out of your way to make them feel seen. You leave pieces of your goodness everywhere you go—small, precious gifts of kindness, encouragement, and grace that stay with people long after the moment has passed. You make people feel like they matter, like they are never alone, like they are capable of more than they ever imagined—and that is the greatest, most beautiful legacy anyone could ever build.

On this special day, we want you to know: all the love you give so freely, so generously, day after day? It has grown deep roots in all of us, and today it comes flowing right back to you tenfold. Today, we get to be the ones to wrap you in warmth, to remind you how deeply you are cherished, and to cheer for you the way you have always cheered for us. May this new year bring you the same endless kindness you give away: may it bring you rest when your heart and hands are tired, joy that feels like a long, warm hug, dreams that unfold easily and beautifully, and people who love you exactly as fiercely as you love them. May you always remember how bright your light shines, how much you are adored, and how much this world—our community, our teams, our hearts—needs exactly you: passionate, gentle, wonderful you.

Thank you for being you, Ms. Carmela. Thank you for touching our lives, for holding space for our hearts, for leading with such grace, and for making every day feel a little more meaningful just by being here. We love you more than words can say, and we are so, so proud to walk this journey beside you.

Wishing you the happiest, most beautiful birthday—filled with all the good things you deserve, and so much more. 🤍✨
