It was officially sealed by a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Western Visayas in the secondary football finals at the Borromeo-Dynamic Herb Sports Complex at the close of the annual multi-sports meet for grade school athletes.
The Far Eastern University-Diliman booters came back from two goals down with a three-goal rampage in the second half in winning the crown and the overall championship for NCR with a magnificent 98-gold, 66-silver and 74-bronze medal harvest.When they did, there was just no stopping the NCR juggernaut as it struck from various fronts including gymnastics, swimming, chess, archery and ballgames like football, volleyball and the sport that mattered the most – basketball.
Calabarzon had a strong start and even led NCR for a couple of days but it got buried by the NCR landslide the rest of the way and wound up at distant second with a 57-51-53 haul. Meanwhile, Vice President Sara Duterte declared the weeklong meet closed in extravagant rites that was also attended by Cebu City acting mayor Alvin Garcia and Ilocos Norte Gov.
