BAKIT WALANG NAGPAPA-LIGA NG TAKRAW SA LUGAR NAMIN?

We struggled with this same question for years.
Don't get us wrong: private entities have supported Ozamiz City's takraw community over the years by conducting clinics, donating training materials, and organizing mini tournaments to keep the players' morale high after the hype of school athletics season has died down.

But all of us can only watch in awe, as mainstream sports (and games!) get a considerable portion of a barangay's allocated budget for fiestas and special events, while the so-called national sport of the Philippines can't even receive crumbs below the table.

For years, we and our predecessors have lobbied for sepak takraw tournaments to be included in barangay leagues (to the point where we told officials that we will be bringing our own tape, balls, nets, and even NET POSTS to minimize costs) to no avail - until one barangay answered the call with open arms this year. Sangguniang Kabataan ng San Antonio, with many of its members being well-acquainted with sepak takraw (thanks to our veteran Dylmar Basmayor) accepted the request and organized an exhilarating tournament on June 8.

But even with this good news came one hurdle: One rule of compliance for SK-sanctioned sports leagues cited by the officers was that at least one accredited technical official needs to be present (for officiating and paperwork purposes).

A simple requirement, right? Nope!

Compared to the vast number of BAP (basketball) and VOAP/PNVF (volleyball) accredited officials in the Philippines, Pilipinas Sepaktakraw Association Inc.-accredited technical officials are rare gems to find, which makes leagues at the barangay level harder to organize. If sir Cyrus Mark B Rivera wasn't around at that time, the first SK-sanctioned takraw league in Ozamiz City wouldn't have come to fruition.

Ozamiz City is lucky enough to have one resident technical official, but we cannot say the same for other cities and municipalities who have also yearned for government-funded takraw tournaments at the grassroots level, because as with our personal experiences, privately funded takraw events are hard to sustain long-term unless you have connections with the right (and rich) people.

But now is not the time to point fingers and find fall guys. What we need to do is to catch up: show to barangay officials that interest in takraw is at an all-time high, by initiating athletic training and at the barangay level. Use social media and show to the world about takraw flourishing in your area. Many would also greatly appreciate if technical official accreditation was more accessible. And maybe - just maybe - barangays would open up their hearts (and budgets) to sepak takraw.

That's my two cents for today, matutulog na si angkol 😅
