The Cebu City Niños emerged as the top performer among the Cebu delegations in the recently concluded Batang Pinoy 2025 in General Santos City.

After the week-long action in the Philippine Youth Games at the country's Tuna Capital, the Niños landed at ninth place overall with a total of 115 medals broken down into 31 golds, 32 silvers, and 52 bronzes.

Team Cebu City who returned home on the eve of the typhoon, led Cebu's campaign with an unofficial tally of 30 golds, 35 silvers, and 48 bronzes. The Philippine Sports Commission has yet to release the official medal count though the weeklong event has already ended.
