The Cebu Eastern College (CEC) Baby Dragons opened their Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) Season 25 Passerelle Division (15-under) Basketball Tournament with a determined 54–48 victory over the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Baby Jaguars on January 06, 2025, at the University of San Carlos (USC) Main Gymnasium.

The Baby Dragons set the tone early, executing efficiently on offense and applying disciplined pressure on defense to establish control of the game. Their strong start allowed to dictate the pace and build momentum in the opening minutes.

However, the Baby Jaguars refusing to back down, clawed their way back into the game with relentless determination. Their efforts eventually tied the score, sending waves of tension through the crowd. In the crucial final minutes, as the contest tightened, the Baby Dragons made key defensive stops, including a forced turnover that led to a timely basket to seal the win.

Head coach Rodmark Del Rosario said, “𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘺 𝘑𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘺𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”

Today, January 6, Christians around the world celebrate “Epiphany,” a religious feast that commemorates the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles through the visit of the Magi. Traditionally, it is marked by the story of the Three Kings, guided by a star, who journeyed to Bethlehem where the Baby Jesus lay in the manger. There, they offered gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
‎
‎But did you know that “Epiphany” is not just the day the Three Kings visited the infant Jesus—but a celebration of revelation itself?
‎
‎Traditionally celebrated on January 6 in many region, and now observed on Sunday, January 4, Epiphany commemorates the moment Jesus was revealed to the Gentiles through the visit of the Magi, proving that His mission was meant for all nations, not only one people. The word epiphany comes from the Greek “epiphaneia,” meaning “appearance” or “manifestation.”
‎
‎The Three Kings, also known as Wise Men, are not named in the Bible, nor is their number. Tradition later identified them as Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar, representing three continents of the ancient world—Europe, Asia, and Africa—symbolizing that Christ’s light reaches the entire world.
‎
‎Their gifts were also prophetic symbols, not random offerings: Gold was given to a king, acknowledging Jesus’ royalty. Frankincense, used in worship, recognized his divinity. Myrrh, used for burial, foreshadowed his suffering and death—a striking reminder that joy and sacrifice are deeply intertwined in the Christian story.
‎
‎Beyond religion, the word “epiphany” has taken on a broader meaning: a sudden, powerful realization—the kind that changes how a person sees the truth. History even uses the term to describe dark or shocking revelations, proving that epiphanies can be both beautiful and unsettling.
‎
‎In essence, Epiphany reminds us that truth reveals itself in unexpected ways—sometimes through light, sometimes through discomfort—but always with the power to transform.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝘼 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙒𝙖𝙨 𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙚—𝙔𝙚𝙩 𝘼𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙒𝙖𝙨
‎
‎When a year dies,
‎another is born.
‎You stand the same in between.
‎Then change happens the day after.
‎
‎It’s not about what you planned the next 365 days would be.
‎It’s like the fruit salad Mom prepared.
‎You don’t get to pick what to eat
‎and what to leave—it’s all mixed.
‎
‎You don’t get to remove the bad days,
‎you don’t get only the sweet.
‎The perfect year doesn’t exist.
‎The “my year” you are waiting for
‎has neither passed, nor is it yet to come,
‎for it has always been.
‎
‎Every year is yours,
‎just like mango graham is layered.
‎One layer may have more mango than another,
‎yet each is necessary to make it whole.
‎
‎Prosperity and wealth do not come as you please;
‎they are achieved through hard work.
‎Like lechon is made—
‎where sweat meets fire,
‎and hands turn the bamboo for hours
‎to achieve that crunch and juiciness
‎you savor in every bite.
‎So it is with fate—
‎you shape it,
‎you work for it.
‎
‎Apples, oranges, watermelons—
‎round fruits that mirror loops and infinity,
‎remind you that instead of being discouraged,
‎you may see a beginning in every end.
‎
‎Grapes hang from doors and windows,
‎symbols of bond and togetherness—
‎family, friends, acquaintances.
‎As they dry and fall, you begin to understand
‎that they’re not forever together.
‎
‎Then fireworks burst as the clock strikes twelve—
‎bright enough to show hope,
‎loud enough to remind you
‎you are not alone in your wishing.
‎Many of us are tired of saying
‎the same wishes,
‎the same resolutions,
‎but we say them anyway.
‎
‎You may not be who you were last year,
‎but it wasn’t the year that changed you.
‎Do not hate the year.
‎Do not resent change.
‎See the Spaghetti and Pancit: they differ
‎until unrecognizable,
‎yet are still eaten with the same fork.
‎
‎You are not to blame
‎when a year fails to feel “yours,”
‎for a year never had a name.
‎It’s not yours to control,
‎but you still deserve a toast—
‎a full glass of wine.
‎Cheers!
For surviving. For enduring.
‎
‎This year may have been your greatest, or not.
‎It may have been tough and rough—
‎But who is tougher?
‎The one jumping,
‎shaking coins in hand,
‎shouting “Happy New Year!”
‎It was never anyone else’s year.
‎It has always been yours,
‎whether it was the best or not.
‎
