PhilBoxing.com




Cebu's best and brightest athletes who shot to fame and made
headlines last year will formally be feted for their stirring exploits today in the 29th Sportswriters Association of Cebu-San Miguel Corporation (SAC-SMC) All-Cebu Sports Awards at the Ayala Activity Center.

The gala event, which is open to the public for the first time, will promptly start at 3 pm.

Leading the cast of honorees is the 'Athlete of the Year' who will be chosen from among the 17 major awardees in 14 sporting disciplines.

Oustanding sportsmen who have shown unparalleled passion and
invaluable contributions to the development of Cebu sports will also be given their fair share of the spotlight in the annual affair presented by San Miguel Corporation in partnership with Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Smart, Rudy Project, Citigym, Air21 and M. Lhuillier Kwarla Padala.

Football patron Dan Palami, the chief architect behind the Azkals' meteoric rise to stardom anchored on their back-to-back success in the Suzuki Cup and the AFC Challenge Cup that has stirred football re-awakening in the country, will receive the prestigious "Presidential Award."

Longtime chess benefactor Boojie Lim will be hailed as "Sportsman of the Year" for his unflinching support to the popular board game using funds from his own pocket for decades now, while the outspoken Philippine Sports Commission (PSC)-7 director Dr. Danilo G.
