2019 Southeast Asian Games


The 2019 Asian Southeast Games will be the 30th edition of the Southeast Asian Games. Also known as the 2019 SEA Games, the biennial international multi-sport event will be held in the Philippines from the 30th of November to the 11th of December of 2019.

This will be the first time SEA Games will be decentralized with sports competition venues are spread in (23) twenty-three cities, 4 clusters in Luzon.  CALABARZON Region, specifically Cavite and Laguna, hosts several competitions throughout the two weeks.



Our country is hosting this regional event for the fourth time since 2005. Before this, we had the games on our shores in 1981 and 1991. Take note also that this is the first time e-sports and obstacle course was included in the competitions making this
This edition is most notable for having e-sports and obstacle course as part of the games. 2019 SEA so far, has the highest number of sports in the history of the games, with a total of 56.

This edition also showed us politics showing its head, an ugly and monstrous one, in several instances. First the hosting of events. As early as 2015, there have been several pull-outs from would-be and assigned hosts. First was Brunei Darussalam, citing "financial and logistical reasons”. Then the Philippines but pulled-out in July because of Marawi Seige but had a change of heart in August of the same year 2017.

And then the guys who would be in charge of the games. Several name changes, all in the name of sports (daw!)

As always, Philippine sports reflect the Philippine society as it was, as it is and as it will be. Because I intend to make this post informative and not political, I’d like to share the official webpage for the games and helpful links for you to visit as a guide for the games.

Here they are:

Season 1 Imus Football League

Hey there!

Imus Football League begins this Friday, October 18, 2019 at the Imus City Stadium. Clubs and schools will be fielding in their under 17 teams. It would be interesting to know who is bankrolling this league and the guys doing the legwork. This is ambitious and this is good. We have to dream for something like this to happen and now it is here.


Participating in the first-ever football league in the City are the following:
  • Elizabeth Seton-South
  • ICA-Dasmarinas City
  • The University of Perpetual Help-Binan
  • Imus United Football Club U17
  • Imus Go-for-Gold
  • Southville International School
  • Lyceum University of the Philippines-General Trias 
This is a great step towards football development in the city. Start small and never let go of your vision. 

Good luck!

Dust and Cobwebs on our Blog

Hey there!

It has been months since I last posted here at the Cavite Football Academy blog. So much has happened since July up to this day. So let's round them up and be impressed with what our guys have been accomplishing while I gather these dust and cobwebs on our blog.

PCU-Dasmarinas High School Team. RIFA 2019-2020 Finalist.
PCU-Dasmarinas High School Football Team is playing in the Championship game of the Rizal Football Association (RIFA). RIFA is one of the toughest football tournaments in the country and to play in the finals says a lot about the program in PCU.

Bacoor City Meet Champions. Team UPHSD-Molino 2019-2020. 

Fun times!
In Bacoor City DEPED Sports Meet, the University of Perpetual Help-Molino High School wins the gold and so is the Lyceum University of the General Trias City. In Imus City, Elizabeth Seton-South wins the gold for High School while Governor D.M. Camerino wins their back-to-back championship in the Elementary division. These teams will represent the Cities of Bacoor, General Trias, and Imus respectively, either in the Provincial Meet or straight to the Regionals, STCAA.

In the Season 2 of Speed Regalo-Youth Football League, players from around Metro Manila and neighboring provinces are having the time of their lives as they play for their clubs. Although the scheduling is truly heavy, Sundays and Saturdays have games, YFL has continued to provide the much needed year-round football competitions for our budding athletes.


Meanwhile, Cavite Football Academy, its players, coaches, and parents, visited the Governor's Office and presented their achievements to Governor Jonvic Remulla. Here are some photos I got from our group.

The Local Government of Province of Cavite has one of the most efficient models for football development in the country. Much can be learned from this.

Until then!
