What can you say as a player of CPU Golden Lions?
Being a Centralian player is such an honor and responsibility. You got to represent CPU, and I am so proud to say that! Our school has been teaching us how to be a good role model, thoughtful, and also God-fearing.

Why did you Choose CPU?
I chose this University for many reasons. First of all, I decided to study here because I know that there are a lot of things to explore like having friends, honing our talents, and skills. I wanted to expose my talent, which is ballroom dancing, and CPU has given me the opportunity to do that. Lastly, CPU has a high academic standard which is good for a student-athlete like me.
