NCF Tigers Sepaktakraw Varsity Team

𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗘𝗗 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗡𝗖𝗙 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗧𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀

There is no heartbreak in sports quite like being defeated before you even step onto the court. But what makes the situation of two of our NCF Tigers Sepaktakraw athletes so utterly infuriating isn't a loss born of a bad call or a superior opponent. No, their defeat came at the hands of paperwork, incompetence, and gross negligence. While we celebrate the triumphs of the tournament, we cannot—and will not—remain silent about a glaring injustice.

During the National PRISAA Games 2026, these two student-athletes were unjustly denied the chance to compete in the Quadrant Event. The reason? Not an injury. Not a violation of code. Simply a failure of the very officials who were supposed to champion them to do their baseline job.

For an athlete, a National tournament isn't just another date on the calendar. It is the culmination of endless, grueling hours of sacrifice. It is waking up before dawn, rehearsing at the middle of an open court with the scorging heat of the sun, pushing through agonizing muscle cramps, balancing demanding academics, and pouring blood, sweat, and tears into every single kick, block, and spike. The NCF Tigers trained to represent not just their school, but the pride of the entire Bicol region.

Yet, all that preparation was rendered meaningless in an instant. Because of a profound lack of diligence and administrative oversight, these two Tigers were left stranded on the sidelines, forced to watch an event they rightfully earned the right to dominate.

To prepare your body and mind for the highest level of competition, only to be disqualified by bureaucratic carelessness, is a soul-crushing betrayal.

Accountability seems to have been completely lost in translation this season. How do you explain to young athletes that their dreams were sidelined because adults couldn't manage registrations, schedules, or technical requirements properly?

This gross negligence dealt a devastating triple blow to the NCF Tigers Sepaktakraw Varsity Team. First and foremost, it robbed these two dedicated athletes of a career-defining opportunity to showcase their hard-earned talents on the national stage. Beyond the individual heartbreak, it deeply demoralized a closely-knit team that relies entirely on the synergy, trust, and presence of every single roster member to function at their best. Ultimately, this administrative failure sabotaged Bicol's chances of bringing home a medal in the Quadrant Event, effectively lowering the entire region's competitive standing out of sheer carelessness.

We often preach to our student-athletes about 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. It is deeply hypocritical that the governing body meant to foster these values displayed the exact opposite. Bureaucratic laziness shouldn't be allowed to sweep the dreams of our youth under the rug.

The NCF Tigers community, the student body, and sports enthusiasts across the region demand more than just a passing apology. We demand absolute accountability! Our athletes gave 100% on the court; the least the officials could have done was give 10% of that effort in the office.

To our two Tigers: Your school sees your worth, even if the system failed to protect it. You deserved to play, you deserved to win, and you deserved so much better than the gross incompetence that kept you from the court.

We demand JUSTICE! We demand ACCOUNTABILITY!

🐯 𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗔𝗔 2026 🥇🥈🥉

Behind every medal that gleams in the light lies a story written in sweat, sacrifice, and unyielding discipline.

The NCF Tigers Sepaktakraw Varsity Team have once again proven that true champions are forged in the fires of hard work. Bringing home an spectacular haul of 🥇15 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗, 🥈4 𝗦𝗜𝗟𝗩𝗘𝗥, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 🥉9 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗭𝗘 medals, our student-athletes have made an unforgettable mark on the PRISAA National stage, earning their rightful spots as part of the Home of the Champions.

As our mantra reminds us: “A man is not finished when he is defeated, he is finished when he quits.” And these Tigers simply do not know how to quit.

While the podium finishes are celebrated in moments of roaring cheers, we want to look beyond the medal and honor their journey and sacrifices. To our student-athletes: we see you. Every single drop of sweat shed on the canvas was a investment into this victory. You did not just play; you fought for the pride of the entire Bicol Region.

This historic achievement belongs to a massive community that stood firmly behind our athletes. We extend our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝗴𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Thank you for your unwavering belief in sports development, institutional support, and for providing the ecosystem where student-athletes can excel both in the classroom and in the arena.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆: Your loud cheers, digital support, and roaring school pride gave our athletes the second wind they needed during the toughest stretches of the tournament.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀—𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Thank you for trusting the program, managing the anxieties of tournament days, and being the ultimate emotional and spiritual anchors for our players. Your sacrifices mirror theirs.

𝗙𝗮𝗻𝘀, 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: To everyone who extended a hand, shared our posts, or offered prayers—you are the silent engine behind this success.

The national chapter is written, but the book is far from finished. With 15 Gold medals leading the charge, our Tigers are gearing up for the next PRISAA season. The fire has been lit, the standard has been set, and the hunt continues.

Bound by one spirit, one goal, and one region.
