The 1st ever CDUAA Sports fest kicked off last July 10, 2010.
The Basketball league consisted of College of Nursing, College of
Medicine, Department of Radiologic Technology, Department of Medical
Technology, College of Arts and Sciences and College of Dentistry. The
opening day was highlighted with the parade around the Campus, different
team colours and uniforms accompanied by their muse, with drum and
bugle chord spearheading the parade. The parade was followed by a
short opening program at the CDU gymnasium with muses flaunting
their beauty & smarts. The event was graced by our alumni President Dr.
Mc Arthur Salonga (2008-2010). The basketball games were held in the
CDU gymnasium and Mandaue Sports Complex in different schedules
making it hard for the teams to adjust to the environment of the different
venues. With the games played almost daily, it turned out to be a stiff
and gruelling competition. The top 4 teams then advanced to the semifinals;
College of Nursing, College of Dentistry, Department of Medical
Technology and Department of Radiologic Technology, it ended up to be
a championship game for the College of Nursing against the College of
Radiologic Technology and College of Medical Technology against College
of Dentistry for the 3rd placer. The 1st CDUAA Basketball league was
won by the College of Nursing as they were the younger and they have the
complete arsenal at their disposal, Department of Radiologic Technology
got 2nd place followed by Department of Medical Technology at 3rd place.
The tournament ended with the two exciting games last July 23, 2010.

On the other hand, there was a volleyball game for the
women. Graduate School and College of Nursing were battling with
rallies and dives. They played a best of three series as these were
the only teams competing in the said event. College of Nursing was
hailed the winner after spiking their way to the crown.

Last April 2011, the much awaited 2nd season of the CDUAA
Sports fest was again on its way. As the news spread, more colleges
were trying to organize their teams to prepare another battle in the
basketball court. This time, with the College of Rehabilitative Sciences
in the mix, the competition was made tougher. Each College had their
new players and new alumnus to add to their teams. The opening day
was graced by our CDUAA president Dr. Alex Magalona (2010-2012).
This time, 7 teams compete for the crown. Teams were fighting
tooth and nail to earn a slot into the final four Semi-finals. The teams
that advanced were spearheaded by the College of Nursing followed
by the Department of Medical Technology, College of Dentistry and
College of Arts and Sciences. It seemed like every game was its last
as the four teams were tested physically and mentally. College of
Nursing cruised to the finals as the mightily favoured team. On the
other hand the College of Medical Technology survived the physical
toughness of the College of Arts and Sciences. It was an intense
game where the physically tougher and mentally stronger would go
ahead as the victor in the Championship game. The winner was not
clear until the last buzzer of the game. College of Nursing again went
out victorious as the champions, Department of Medical Technology
came up short with the final score of 66 – 58. The College of Arts
and Sciences bagged 3rd place with the score of 67-62 against the
College of Dentistry.

It was another good season for the CDUAA Sports fest
successfully ended, from nail biting wins to adrenaline pumping
excitement. Next season is just around the corner as teams can’t wait
to gear up for the fun and exciting competitions ahead.
