Brazil-bound Homeless WCup RP

Negrenses Leopoldo Aragon, Tonie Mark Arenal and Michael Quinlat, along with the other members of the Philippine Team that will see action in the 2010 Homeless World Cup this September in Brazil will visit Bacolod City on July 15.

Aragon is from Brgy. Banago in Bacolod while Arenal and Quinlat are from Talisay City. They were tapped to join the team by the national Homeless World Cup committee headed by Leopoldo Arnaiz.

Each member of the team was chosen by the committee based not only on their football skills but also their personal backgrounds, data from the team stated.

Aragon, 19, is a high school drop-out who used to engage in vices. His transformation into a more responsible teenager started after he joined Homeless World Cup team.

Twenty-three year-old Quinlat is the youngest of four siblings who never had a permanent home after his parents separated. He tried to find a job but failed to land on a stable one until the Homeless World Cup team “discovered” him.

While he sees the Homeless team as his chance of getting a better life, Quinlat is determined to give his best to make the country proud.

Arenal, 23, considers the Homeless World Cup as his stepping stone into going back to school. A championship for the RP Team in the Brazil competition this September will give him the opportunity to realize his dream and help his family.

Aside from helping the players reach their potential and develop their football skills, Arnaiz said the Homeless World Cup paves the way for the members of the competing squad to improve their lives and become better citizens of the community.*NAB

Davao Football - Medvil FC hopes to sustain form in Acer bootfest

MEDVIL Football Club coach Ramonito "Lalas" Carreon is taking one game at a time as his team remains in contention for a title-retention bid in the Acer Cup Under-23 Football Tournament.

"We are still a long way off. We still have eight remaining games. We have won our past two games so far. We hope to keep our winning streak," said Carreon, who steered Davao Region to a gold medal finish in the 2010 Palarong Pambansa in Tarlac.

Medvil opened its campaign with a 3-1 victory over Columbia on opening day then crushed Ebocci, 11-0, just over the weekend at the Tionko football grounds.

Carreon lauded his players' determination in their past two outings.

"Everybody else was doing his job and team work was very evident. That's what made us win our first two matches," Carreon said in the vernacular.

Medvil will next meet struggling Ateneo de Davao University on Sunday in the meet presented by Acer Computer Philippines in coordination with the Davao Football Association (DFA) and Columbia Computer Center.
