What can you say as a player of CPU Golden Lions: I am a blessed and thankful athlete because the team has a coach whose understanding is always after the best for us as a team and as an individual. To be a Centralian athlete is something to be thankful for because I get to enjoy the benefits, and it allows me to enhance my skills in playing table tennis.

Why did you choose CPU: I chose CPU because it has a higher than average performance in academics and sports as a school. More than that, what inspired me most in choosing CPU is that it seeks to instill and invest Christian values in students like me.
