Sportswriters Association of Cebu (SAC)

Yesterday (Jan. 29), the group of men and women whose stories you read about in the newspaper Sports Section met to deliberate on the winners for the upcoming SAC-SMC All-Cebu Sports Awards, an annual gathering where top athletes, coaches, individuals and teams are honored. I don’t have the final listing yet of awardees and will post them very soon. But for now, here are our photos from yesterday’s lunch at Cafe Laguna, courtesy of San Miguel Corp. and one of their top honchos, Girlie Garces.

I've been a sports columnist since 1994. First, in The Freeman newspaper under "Tennis Is My Game." Then, starting in 2003, with Sun.Star Cebu under the name "Match Point." Happy reading!

  2. Hi there,
    Is there an archive of previous winners of the SAC SMB winners? In my youth, circa 1982, I was awarded the Sportswriters award for Archery. I lost all documentation and the award when my ancestral home in Mandaue burned down. I migrated to the US in ’91 but would like to know if there is an archive I can show my kids!
    Thanks,
    Rodney
