Representing Far Eastern University (FEU), both Niu and Anito played crucial roles in NCR’s strong campaign, ultimately landing as runners-up after a hard-fought battle against CALABARZON. Their performances stood out as among the most consistent and impactful on the pitch, drawing praise from coaches and fans alike.
No strangers to high-level competition, the Davao-born duo has been making waves long before this national spotlight. Earlier this year, they were instrumental in leading FEU to a silver medal finish in the UAAP secondary football tournament — a testament to their growing reputation as rising stars in Philippine football.
Beyond the medals and accolades, Niu and Anito’s journey from the grassroots fields of Cabantian to the national stage is an inspiring tale of perseverance and passion. As key players for the Rovers Football Club and student-athletes at FEU, they continue to blaze a trail for young footballers across Mindanao.
Their achievements are more than just sporting triumphs — they represent a beacon of hope and pride for Davao City, showing that with dedication and drive, local talent can shine brightly on the national stage.
