PAREF Springdale Titans rise again in football scene
The Freeman
|October 19, 2025
When PAREF Springdale School reignited its football program after the global pandemic, it wasn't chasing instant glory - it was rebuilding a legacy.
At the helm stood longtime coach Mario Ceniza, a seasoned tactician with championship pedigree, yet a man in no rush.
He knew better than most: greatness is forged in patience, not haste.
Last year, the school began a quiet revolution - recruiting promising talents to reinforce its “homegrowns”, especially in the secondary division.
Ceniza, despite his decorated past, chose the long road, pushing each Titan to rise, not just play.
And rise they did.
In the new school year, the Titans opened their campaign with back-to-back silver medals at the Copa Cebu 2025 and the Munich Football Invitational Cup.
Then in August, they returned to Bacolod City and clinched bronze once more at the Brazilian Jericho Soccer Academy 11-a-side Invitationals.
But these were just preludes.

BBM weaponizing the ombudsman?
If the nation takes the words of such trapos as Senators Imee Marcos, Bato de la Rosa, or Rodante Marcoleta, we would be led to believe the appointment of Jesus Crispin Remulla as ombudsman would foment political instability.
