The meeting between officials of the FESSAP, which was represented by its Secretary General Graham Lim, and the CESAFI, which was represented by CESAFI Board Member Atty. Baldomero C. Estenzo,
Commissioner Felix O. Tiukinhoy and Mr. Danilo Catingub of the University of Cebu, was recently held at the Cebu Golf & Country Club.
Commissioner Tiukinhoy, who is also the FESSAP Assistant Secretary General for Visayas Affairs, has been appointed the Executive Director of the Organizing Committee while Atty. Estenzo has been designated as Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the 1st NSWC competitions.
According to Atty. Estenzo, the early staging of a national weightlifting
championship to determine the men’s and women’s athletes to be sent to the 27th Summer Universiade will be a major advantage.
The Summer Universiade is the counterpart of the Summer Olympic at the university level.
Athletes from the different major cities, such as those from Zamboanga City, Cotabato City, Cagayan De Oro City, Butuan City in Mindanao, and Cebu City, Dumaguete City, Tagbilaran City in the Visayas, have been invited to join the NSWC.
The holding of the 1st NSWC has the full support of PRISAA Executive Director Elbert “Bong” Atilano. “I have been supporting weightlifting for the last three decades and hopefully this will encourage young college athletes to show their skill and gain international recognition for the Philippines with their participation in the 27th Summer Universiade in Russia,” said Atilano, who is also the FESSAP Assistant Secretary General for Mindanao Affairs.
Graham Lim was given a warm welcome by Commissioner Tiukinhoy and Atty. Estenzo during the opening of the 6th CESAFI Partner’s Cup Basketball Championship held at Cebu Coliseum where Lim was again awarded a plague of appreciation by the CESAFI Board for his dedication and support for Cebu sports, particularly basketball.
