Saturday, May 9 5th Football Friendlies
Last Saturday, May 9, Brent Baguio hosted the 5th Football Friendlies with 10 participating teams. The event ran from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM and showcased great sportsmanship, teamwork, and determination from all players involved. Despite the rainy weather throughout the afternoon, the athletes continued to compete with heart, resilience, and passion for the game.

We are proud of the effort, discipline, and sportsmanship shown by our student-athletes both on and off the field.
