Villacin also said they are asking UFL to help them look for a sponsor.
“I told them to help us find a sponsor and we could go on with
our participation basta naa ra silay ikahatag para namo,” said Villacin.
“They are in the better position to look for sponsors because
they take charge of banners and marketing materials that can be put in
the field.”

Last season, CQCU spent P5 million on airfare alone for 25 games.
This year it is expected to spend P4 million.
VIllacin said that as much as the club wants to spend for its UFL stint,
they are more inclined to fund other projects, especially in the
grassroots.

by the UFL but said that even P1 million in support would be enough for
them to play nine games in Manila.

Tingnan niyo itong mga bisakol na ito. Paghanap ng sponsor inaasa pa sa iba. Lalong nagkakatotoo ang mga claims ni Weiss na mga tamad at batugan itong mga bisaya. Lakas ng loob sumali wala pala pondo. Baka pag magkaroon ng home games ang mga animal na ito manghingi pa ng libreng tickets para makanood ang mga inutil na supporters nila mga pobre mga dukha.
ReplyDeletewow! Slow clap for your regionalistic attitude!
DeleteIts not a regionalistic attitude. The poster is only telling it like it is. This article made me laugh. I wonder what Mike Limpag is going to say about this?
DeleteCQCU lng ang may issue wag' mong lahatin lahat ng bisaya dahil baka balikan ka ng mga ito at ikaw ang magiging pobre sa mga sinasabi mo. And btw, inggit lng mga players na taga manila sa mga bisaya dahil halos lahat ng school sa Metro ay may varsity players na bisaya at yan ang realidad Anonymous11 February 2013 02:37
DeleteNasa Maynila ang mga bisaya na yan kasi ang mga university sa bisayas ay mga walang kalidad. Yan ang reality kaibigan ko.
DeleteAt ano naman ang gagawin ng mga bisaya sa akin at maghihirap ako? Nanakawan nila ako? Ay oo tama ka dapat nga akong mag ingat.
@anonymous 06:49, im refering to the comment of anonymous 03:27...such words like "bisakol"and statement like "home games ang mga animal" have no place in this world! below the belt and tasteless na comment...classic example of how racist ang pinoy sa kapwa pinoy..
DeleteAnonymous11 February 2013 09:16 kung walang kaledad ang mga unibersidad ng visayas bakit nag top ang mga ito sa mga board at bar exams? lahing unggoy ka yata eh at utak talangka na hindi marunong maglaro kaya panay banat mo sa mga taong magagaling maglaro ng football. Mga taong ganyan ang banat ay frustrated footballer yan nung bata pa. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin nawawala ang inggit mo sa kapwa Pilipino na magaling sa futbol kaysa sayo.. Kawawang nilalang ka.
Deletetagalogs are weak in football. way weaker than the bisaya players. fuck u as hell to say were lazy u tagalog dickhead. u think bisaya people are lower than u tagalogs? hell fuck you when majority of this country's population are bisaya. come play ur football over here and we'll let u know how a pobreng dukha football field taste like when we grind ur face on it
Deletebumoo nalang ng visayan leg pabayaan na yang ufl na yan wala namang kwenta taga maynila lang binibigyan nila ng halaga...minamaliit nila mga taga probinsya wala namang mga marunong mag laro dyan sa maynila pang basketball lang yan pag wala mga ilongo saka visaya dyan walang mga player yan puro foreigner....mga bwesit mga mayaman na yan mga mata pobre...pwehhhhhh.
ReplyDeleteYeah good idea. Create your own league, and take your Visayan referees with you. They are so biased. Especially that Bermejo guy. What a douche. And dont forget to take the crappy Ilonggos in the PFF, you know the ones who are influential and decides who gets called up. The friends of Gener, Margarse, Araneta. The reason why the three idiots still get called up. Why these idiots embarrassed the national beach soccer team. Yeah take them with you now. The PFF needs to be cleansed of these demons.
DeleteI like that Anonymous 9:22! Dont forget Carmona! The useless under 23 coach. Hes not doing anything at the moment, the under 23 team is in the kangkongan somewhere, instead of practicing. But I still see Carmona in the PFF House at Pasig. He still reports maybe to play cards or exchange pleasantries with his western visayan amigos at the PFF. But nowhere near the pitch. Wow. Take him too!
DeleteSana kahit sa UFL Cup makasali sila.
ReplyDeleteAng issue dito. Pag nag bigay ng tulong ang UFL sa CQC. Eh pano na yun mga ibang club na medyo kapos din sa budget? Mangyayari dito e lahat nalang ng club pwede e harass UFL . Pag di kayo nag bigay then di kami maglalalro.
ReplyDeleteYeah magkakaroon ng precedent. Mali ang CQCU dito. Trabaho nila at responsibility nila ang maghanap ng sponsor. Bakit UFL pa ang aasikaso niyan para sa kanila? Anong klase ang manager ng club na yan? Ano akala nila sa UFL mga taga bundok? Sila mga CQCU parang mga taga bundok!
DeleteGuys, UFL gives money to the clubs coming from the proceeds of tournament sponsorships. :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe Cebu did not get their share being a Div2 team.
“I told them to help us find a sponsor and we could go on with
ReplyDeleteour participation..
The clubs should be the one really looking for their own sponsor, a logical solution would be to seek out a Cebu based organization i.e Aboitiz (Power)or Lhuiller (Jewellery or M.L Padala Yung etc.. Marami naman siguro who I believe would like to take the opportunity to market/advertise their business in a broader spectrum. It'll be a good fit for the identity and origin of the team dahil sa iisang lugar lang sila.
pinahiya ng cqcu ang sarili nila.
ReplyDeleteIf CQCU can find a sponsor, what can they offer in return? If you check the schedule there are no more televised games in division 2, I think UGL also does not allow to put up advertisement boards on the fiield, so the only the names of sponsors on their jersey is possible, and who can see that? Do you think that's worth the millions they will invest? I guess the point of CQCU is to ask the assistance of UFL in finding a sponsor since they are in sa better position to offer benefits in terms of exposure tI the sponsor. The difference between CQCU and the other division 2 teams, as stated in the newspaper is 5 million. CQCU will throw away that much just for travel expenses alone, so we have to also to respect CQCU since they are asking only a token sum compared to the real expense, I guess they just want to know how far is the commitment of UFL to CQCU and the other future provincial teams.
ReplyDeleteSabi nga ng coach ng Ceres. before daw sila sasali sa UFL kailagan talaga nila pag isipan ng mabuti. Kasi pag sumali na sila dapat pang matagalan na.
DeleteAs a professional club. Ganito dapat magisip. Hindi yun pabigla bigla. Kahit sino pa ang may kasalanan sa nangyari . Sa pinakita ng CQC eh kakahiha talaga. Sila yun talo dito. Hindi naman inter color eto sa barangay. Kahit nga sa inter color yun mga nag proprotesta at nagwa walkout eh nakakahiya. Parang mga walang pinagaralan.
Sana konteng respeto naman kahit papano.
Blame also the guys behind UFL. They had the whole season last year to know the financial health of CQCU. There were signs already but UFL turned a blind eye.
DeleteWhat a shame UFL organizers!
Talaga UFL pa rin is to blame for CQCU financial woes? The UFL did not force CQCU to join. And the club knows better than the league organisers about their financial capability. It is CQCU's fault why they're in the situation they are in now.
DeleteLet me ask you had the UFL known their financial situation and decided to drop CQCU, would you say that it was the right decision? Or would you say that it's a pangaapi of promdis and probinsyano?
Blame UFL organizers. They are using Cebu to show a semblance of representation from Visayas. But they are not willing to help. One sided.
DeleteCeres, be careful.
I don't think it's QCU's lone fault. UFL organizers should also know the financial considerations when joining their league. The arrangement asked by QCU is for me fair enough. If they can spend P5.0M for airfare alone, why can't other clubs do the same? why can't UFL spend also?
DeleteThe main problem is the organization. Maybe because the decision makers are not the stakeholders themselves but only a few who consider themselves football Gods of the Philippines.
UFL organizers do not know football. They only want to do business.
DeleteThe UFL is doing everything they can to help football grow. It is not true what you say that they only want to do business. The games are for free.
Deleteyung stallion team wala naman problema na magpunta sa manila para maglaro...
ReplyDeleteIt shows that Stallion (representing Iloilo) are better than Cebu QCU in logistics, among others.
DeleteJust ask Stallions if they also spent P5.0M for airfare alone. Easily they would say NO and even No way! that's because most of their players are based in Manila, you dimwit! before you comment, know the story first!
Deletehoy bobo! ang manila based lang ng stallions before si lozano, anak ni tomas lozano yung nag simula ng makati football school pati si rufo and yung kasama niyang spanish defender at dejong pati clarino. lahat ng players na ilonggo pati koreano taga iloilo!
Deleteulul! bat di mo sagutin tanong ko. did they spend P5.0M for airfare too? i know some of the Koreans relocated to Manila to study. ikaw ang bobo at walang alam!
DeleteRelocated? That is a sign that Stallion know logistics management. They are really better among other things.
Deletemas bobo ka! kapag nasa manila kasi mga players naka hotel sila pati may bahay na nirentahan! so ang cebu hindi nagiisip! malamang mas makakamura ang stallions sa ginagawa nila! BOBO MO TANGA
DeleteWhat do u expect from some promdis? Dadayo sa manila mag squatter. Buti nga makakatapak cla sa emperador stadium. San b me ganyqn sa probinsy@?
ReplyDeletedeym!!! crab mentality at its finest...such arrogance and discrimination...
DeleteBakit? cgurado k bang hindi galing ang mga magulang mo sa probinsya o lolo at lola mo? Humarap ka muna sa salamin Anonymous 12 February 2013 05:29
DeleteCebu QCU could have showed up for the first game , further talks regarding their request could have been negotiated, that is the 9 games in Cebu 9 games in Manila. This 1 game could have been their share of the nine and there are 8 more. But it turned out they did not show up obviously as a form of Protest or Boycott. The method they use to get a result is a big issue , some may think of it as fair , democratic and legal , but i think of it is foul , dictatorial and illegal. The end result should not always justify the means. There is what we call " Ethics" in sports,UFL should not permit such actions without the necessary consequences.
ReplyDeleteThe Visayan Clubs and Players are good if not the best , and belonging to a club , may it be on the 1st or 2nd and even the 3rd division , should foster that sense of responsibility and professionalism.
UFL should also show professionalism. The organizers still need to learn a lot.
DeleteIt seems they do not know football :-)
DeleteWhat the hell are you talking about? If CQCU are really as professional as you say they are, then they should not be asking the UFL TO LOOK FOR SPONSORS FOR THEM, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TURNED UP FOR THEIR OPENING GAME.
DeleteStop pointing your fingers at the UFL. The UFL is trying to run a club and they are doing a great job. The CQCU should get their acts together, find a sponsor and get on with it.
They can start by asking Aboitiz to be their sponsor since they are Cebu based. Now that is only if they are as professional as you claim them to be.
You are entitled to your own opinion, even if wrong.
DeleteUFL organizers really need to improve more on transparency, logistics, etc.
Almost all the clubs have their own share of expenses to maintain a team. Some Clubs sold their shares or partner with big companies so as to keep up with ever rising cost for playing on a league or cup . Add on to the demands of salaries and high maintenance of the new generation players. Almost all the club owners have their own woes and torment, and asking UFL to help a club because they were not able to get their own sponsors is not fair for everybody.CQCU thinks and presume that people will blame UFL for their decision of not showing up.But the boat turned around against them because of this unprofessional act. They could have gotten more sympathy if they backed-out before the start of the league due to their financial standing. The point here is they demand UFL to act on their problem (which every has), and practically solved the problem by boycotting a scheduled game so that UFL will be forced to heed to what they want. In my opinion this is very unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe that UFL needs room for improvement , but it takes one step at a time. They are not close to perfect like any other organizing body around the world, but for sure with the cooperation of the Clubs and a firm stand , they will get there.
For me UFL had contributed a lot for the promotion of football in the Philippines, and I highly commend them for that.
This is my opinion and you are entitled to your own
If CQFU have known their status from the very start , they could have done something
"UFL should also show professionalism. The organizers still need to learn a lot"
ReplyDeleteANY SUGGESTIONS , I THINK UFL IS OPEN FOR THAT. JUST BE SURE YOUR NOT FROM CQCU BAKA MAG-WALK-OUT KA RIN KUNG HINDI MASUNOD ANG GUSTO MO.
It seems they do not know football :-)
HINDI LANG PURO FOOTBALL YAN, YOU NEED ALL THE CONNECTION AND SPONSORS YOU CAN GET , TO ORGANIZE THE EVENT
IKAW KAYA ANG MAG-ORGANIZE NG UFL , AT MAG FOOTBALL KA MAG-ISA , EH BAKA SA KANGKUNGAN TAYO LAHAT PULUTIN .
SIYANGA PALA , ANONG DIVISION BA ANG TEAM MO , O BAKA NAMAN KASALI KA SA SUBTRACTION.
WTF is happening? We are becoming an Annabel Rama side show. Ano dong?
