CEAP MINDANAO GAMES Updated Manual May 2023

RATIONALE
DECLARATION ON CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

from GRAVISSIMUM EDUCATIONIS
Proclaimed by His Holiness Pope Paul VI on October 28, 1965
All men of every race, condition and age, since they enjoy the
dignity of a human being, have an inalienable right to an education that is
in keeping with their ultimate goal, their ability, their sex, and the culture
and tradition of their country, and also in harmony with their fraternal
association with other peoples in the fostering of true unity and peace on
earth. For a true education aims at the formation of the human person in
the pursuit of his ultimate end and of the good of the societies of which, as
man, he is a member, and in whose obligations, as an adult, he will share.
Therefore children and young people must be helped, with the aid
of the latest advances in psychology and the arts and science of teaching,
to develop harmoniously their physical, moral and intellectual
endowments so that they may gradually acquire a mature sense of
responsibility in striving endlessly to form their own lives properly and in
pursuing true freedom as they surmount the vicissitudes of life with
courage and constancy. Let them be given also, as they advance in years, a
positive and prudent sexual education. Moreover, they should be so
trained to take their part in social life that properly instructed in the
necessary and opportune skills they can become actively involved in
various community organizations, open to discourse with others and
willing to do their best to promote the common good.

CHRISTUS VIVIT
(Post-Synodal Exhortation of Pope Francis on Young People,
April 2019)
Section #227. “Equally significant is the emphasis that young people

place on sports; the Church should not underestimate the potential of
sports for education and formation, but instead maintain a strong
presence there. The world of sport needs to be helped to overcome
some of its problematic aspects, such as the idolization of champions,
subservience to commercial interests and the ideology of success at
any cost.”
SPORT FOR ALL (The Declaration, Vatican, September 30,

2022)
“The internal goods of sport have to do with the enjoyment of meeting

challenges, of going beyond where we were previously, of playing on a
team. They are available to every person, regardless of age or skill level.
The values experienced while playing on a team, particularly point to
the importance of sport being made available to all as part of our
commitment to the common good. Our team, in the most fundamental
sense, is the human family.
Sport is not an absolute good, however, its value depends on the context in
which it is promoted and the purposes it pursues. If it is accessible and
inclusive and remains anchored in sound educational processes, and
fosters a commitment to common good, sport can fully express its
potential to improve people and the world.
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 16 | Page CEAP MINDANAO GAMES

Human beings are always looking for what is beyond and above themselves
and ordinary life, and sport can give voice to this deep desire for
transcendence, beauty and happiness in a peaceful way uniting people of
every race, culture and religion. A strong dimension of sport as an
expression of human transcendence emerges in its following aspects: in
play which aims at enjoyment of physical exercise and playing together
without ulterior motives, in competition which leads one to give the best of
oneself; in its pursuit of happiness which aspires to achieve goals leading to
true fulfillment.”
LEGAL BASIS
1987 PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE II – DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES AND STATE POLICIES

and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and

BACKGROUND
Mindanao is home to close to four hundred fifty (450) Catholic
schools, colleges and universities out of the 1,500 institutions that are
members of the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines
(CEAP).
Situated in the six (6) Regions comprising Mindanao (Region 9

which administrative center is Pagadian City; Region 10 which
administrative center is Cagayan de Oro City; Region XI which center is
MERGEFORMAT 17
Davao City; Region 12 which administrative center is Marbel City;
Region 13 which administrative center is Surigao City and BARMM
(Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao)) the CEAP
schools need to establish linkage and partnership to be able to promote the
shared mission of Catholic education.
Sometime in 2005, many heads from CEAP colleges and

universities in Mindanao have expressed desire to align with a sports
program that takes into account the nature and core values of private
Catholic education institutions. Thus, during the 2 nd CEAP Mindanao
Summit and the 1st Bishops-CEAP Mindanao conference held on August
19-20, 2012 at the University of the Immaculate Conception in Davao
City, the CEAP Regional Directors in Mindanao together with other
school heads discussed the need to strengthen the CEAP Regional level
sports program and eventually to organize a Mindanao level sports
program to bring together the six (6) CEAP Regions of Mindanao.
Sports development is an area where CEAP schools can effectively

promote dynamic partnership and healthy collaboration among them.
Thus the CEAP Mindanao Games was conceptualized - an integrated, all-
CEAP, Mindanao-based, Mindanao-oriented sports development
program.
In the 5th CEAP Mindanao Conference held in August 10-11,

2012 in Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro, the assembly together with
the CEAP Regional Trustees then present including Fr. Antonio F.
Moreno, SJ, CEAP Region 9; Fr. Aureo A. Pati-an, CEAP Region 10;
Fr. Danny C. Montaňa, RCJ, CEAP Region 11; Fr. Eduardo G.
Tanudtanud, OMI., CEAP Region 12; Fr. Florio R. Falcon, CEAP
Region 13 and Bro. Eugene Pius Tajo, FMS, CEAP ARMM,
supported and voted on the idea of a CEAP Mindanao Sports Conference.
CEAP Region XI, through the Davao Association of Catholic

Schools (DACS) Secretariat was requested to spearhead the planning and
hosting of the 2013 CEAP Mindanao Games. To help in formulating the
guidelines of the program the following Regional Sports Coordinators
volunteered to be part of the core group: Mr. Jimmie-Loe P. dela Vega,
DACS Executive Director; Mr. Billy T. Cruzada, DACS Sports
Consultant; Mr. Rommel A. Cuaresma, College Sports Director, Ateneo
de Zamboanga University; Mr. Erwin G. Pelayo, Basic Ed. Sports
Coordinator, Ateneo de Zamboanga University; Mr. Rogelio G.
Buenvenida, Athletics Coordinator, Ateneo de Zamboanga University;
Mr. Arvin Vincent L. Padilla, Sports Director, Ateneo de Cagayan
(Xavier University); Ms. Lilibeth N. Boligor, Sports Director, Fr.
Saturnino Urios University; and Mr. Antonio V. Lim Jr., Sports &
Socio-Cultural Dev. Coordinator, Notre Dame University.
In the conduct of the 2013 and 2014 CEAP Mindanao Games in

Davao City, the guidelines and protocols were first adopted. The initial
evaluation of the participating Regions and schools was very encouraging.
The CEAP Mindanao Games presented itself as an alternative sports
program for athletes from CEAP members in Mindanao. Soon a scheme
for rotating the hosting was proposed to share the responsibility of
sustaining the sports program and to develop the capacity of each region
to organize a sports event. The 5 th CEAP Mindanao Games was held in
Fr. Saturnino Urios University in Butuan City from January 27-30,
2016.
During the 6th CEAP Mindanao Games in the Ateneo de

Zamboanga University from January 4-8, 2017, a meeting was convened
by Br. Wilfredo E. Lubrico, FMS (+), CEAP Regional Trustee-XII, as
recommended by the CEAP National Board of Trustees. In this meeting, it
was agreed that the CEAP Mindanao Games would be sustained by
encouraging participation by other CEAP members in MIndanao. Those
in attendance were Fr. Karel S. San Juan, SJ - CEAP Regional Trustee-
IX; Fr. Romeo S. Saniel, OMI - CEAP Regional Trustee-ARMM; Fr.
John Christian U. Young - CEAP Regional Trustee-XIII; Msgr. David
M. Alonzo - CEAP Regional Council-IX; Br. Wilfredo E. Lubrico,
FMS; Mr. Emmanuel Rene S. Ayo - Representative of Fr. Joel E.
Tabora, SJ - President of the Ateneo de Davao University and President
of the CEAP National Board; Mr. Rommel A. Cuaresma - Athletic
