HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE! Our very own CALABARZON Heroes (represented by the phenomenal Stallions of the City Schools Division of Antipolo) have officially captured the Secondary Boys Basketball GOLD MEDAL at the Palaro Tu AgSur 2026, dethroning the defending champions, Davao Eagles, in an emphatic 79 - 62 masterclass! 🥇🏀
It wasn't an easy climb to the summit. The Eagles came out soaring, giving our boys a rough Quarter 1. But a Hero’s heart never backs down. With grit, defense, and pure Antipoleño pride, CALABARZON slowly crawled their way back, erased the deficit, and completely took over the hardcourt! From a slow start to an absolute blowout—our boys showed the entire nation what Alab truly means! 🔥
This monumental victory would not have been possible without the unwavering support, guidance, and vision of our dedicated leaders. We extend our deepest gratitude and congratulations to Mayor Jun-Andeng Ynares for his endless support to our local sports programs and youth development. We also salute Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Lerma Flandez, CESO VI, Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Rod Rodriguez Jr., Jr., CESO VI, and Division Sports Officer Dr. Arnel Buena for championing our Atletang Antipoleño and fueling our drive for sports excellence every single step of the way! 🏛️👏
Our heartfelt appreciation also goes out to the driving forces behind our athletes' academic and athletic development. Thank you very much to Ms. Mary Grace Santos, Director of St. John's Wort Integrated School, for her exceptional support, and to the brilliant minds on the sidelines, Coach Jasper Magno and Asst. Coach Rex Panti, for executing a masterpiece of a game plan and steering our boys straight to the top!
To our brave Stallions, thank you for pouring your heart and soul into every second of the game. You didn't just win a championship; you brought immense pride to the entire region and proved that the golden era of Antipolo sports is here to stay! 🦅❌ ➡️ 👑🏀
CALABARZON Heroes! Alab!
TAYO NA, ANTIPOLO! ✊🏆
