WHO’S SLEEPING ?…. City Mayor Angel Alan Celino was dismayed over the continuing efforts by some quarters in blaming him and the city government as one of the “contributors” of why Capiz landed near the tail end of the over-all results of the 2011 WVRAA meet in Iloilo City.
During a media briefing, Mayor Celino aired his “disappointment” over the purported statement of his former school teacher, Capiz Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Eveleth Gamboa, that the “poor performance ” of the Capiz delegation in the regional meet was attributed to the refusal of his administration in providing the money requested by the department as part of the city government’s financial contribution to the delegation’s fund.
Mayor Alan criticized the DepEd for pointing the finger of blame on his administration over the Capiz delegation’s regrettable and lackluster performance in the 2011 WVRAA meet.
Celino on the other hand confirmed that the city gov’t turned down the request of City Schools Division Supt Dr. Jessie Gomez for an additional P 200 thousand, since they weren’t able to justify where and how the money will be spent as part of the WVRAA fund.
The Mayor also emphasized in the media briefing that, "the issue shouldn’t be the money since the city gov’t can even contribute millions of pesos to the WVRAA delegation, but the presence of a good sports program of the province, that can clearly justify for the release of the additional fund."
Dr. Gamboa has been quoted on her radio interview that the debacle of Capiz in the WVRAA is a “wake up call” for everyone but Mayor Celino took a dig at Gamboa by asking ,“who’s sleeping?”
After the planned sports summit to be called by the city government, Celino revealed that he is opting to “adopt a sport and adopt a player” in Roxas City to be funded not by the Local School Board (LSB) fund but from the General Fund (GF).

THE BUCK STOPS AT DEP ED….Capiz Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Eveleth Gamboa is taking the “full responsibility” over the Capiz Athletic delegation’s debacle on the 2011 WVRAA meet.
In an interview with BK News, Dr. Gamboa says, she is accepting the responsibility for the lamentable performance of the Capiz team in the WVRAA and clarifies she is not passing any responsibility to someone else, be it to the city or the provincial governments, but the Dep Ed - Capiz Division since they are on the frontline.
Dr. Gamboa also clarified that she did not blamed City Mayor Alan Celino for the “poor” outcome of Team Capiz following the city government’s failure to contribute some amount as financial help for the delegation’s WVRAA participation .
The answer to the question during a radio interview with regards to the LGU’s who already gave financial contribution to the Dep Ed, excluding the city gov’t , was “taken out of context”, Gamboa added.
The Capiz Division wants to make it clear according to Dr. Gamboa that they are also not pointing the finger of blame to the provincial gov’t since Gov. Victor Tanco, Sr and the SP Capiz are very supportive with the education department’s management on the WVRAA participation.
Dr. Gamboa immediately called a post-evaluation for the 2011 WVRAA participation, attended by coaches, trainers, tournament directors, team managers and officials from the City and Capiz Divisions to determine “what went wrong” during the regional meet that resulted to a 4th place finish of Capiz in the secondary level and 5th place in the elementary level.
The results of the assessment according to Dr. Gamboa will be submitted to Gov. Tanco and to the Capiz School Sports Council for their review and evaluation.

OVERHAUL DEP ED’S SPORTS PROGRAM…The Department of Education-Capiz Division promised to “dig deeper “ and “overhaul” the local sports program of the agency after the lackluster performance of the Capiz athletic delegation in the recently concluded WVRAA meet.
Capiz Schools Division Supt. Dr. Eveleth Gamboa said that they will conduct a “planning session” with her school sports coordinators to determine what are the best solutions to solve the deteriorating performance of Capiz in the regional meet.
Gamboa also admitted that the DepEd’s school sports program is “ almost neglected “, while giving more attention to the school academics.
Included in the possible reforms to be initiated by the Capiz division on its sports program will be the holding of the provincial meet on a fixed date and the possible reduction of the lower meets such as the district and cluster meets.
The Capiz division will also implement a rigorous selection process for the players, longer training period, hiring competent trainers and coaches , more tournament exposures, additional funding request from the LGU’s and the partnership with the private sector.
