Cesafi, Prisaa member schools urged to help relief drive for quake victims

THE CEBU SCHOOLS Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) and the Private Schools Athletic Association (Prisaa) Region VII are calling out their member schools to donate relief goods for the earthquake victims in Bohol Province.

Bernard Ricablanca, the athletic director of University of Cebu (UC), said Cesafi and Prisaa Region VII has an ongoing relief campaign for the victims of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake last Tuesday that heavily damaged Bohol and Cebu province.

According to Ricablanca, Prisaa Region VII’s member schools in Bohol are in dire need of relief goods after major roads and bridges were damaged by the quake.

“I think it’s time to extend our helping hand to our member schools and athletes in Bohol who are in great need,” said Ricablanca. “So I am calling out all of the member schools of Cesafi and Prisaa to voluntarily donate relief goods.”

The drop off center is located at the Cebu Coliseum. Ricablanca said Prisaa Region VII President Fr. Vic Uy will be the one to deliver the relief goods to the Boholano members of Prisaa VII.

Ricablanca added that he and Cesafi Commissioner Felix Tiukinhoy have already been coordinating for the relief campaign. He said that he advised athletes and coaches of UC to spread the relief campaign through text messages.

The cut-off for donating relief goods will be at 12 noon tomorrow. /CORRESPONDENT DALE G. ROSAL
