Students from the Bachelor of Physical Education (BPE) program of UMTC delivered an outstanding performance at the BPED RXI Games 2026, held on May 2, 2026, at the University of Mindanao – Davao. The regional sporting and musical event gathered various colleges and universities across Region XI offering the BPE program, fostering athletic excellence, camaraderie, and sportsmanship among future physical education professionals.

Demonstrating both competitive strength and discipline, the UM Tagum College delegation emerged as one of the top-performing institutions, securing multiple victories and individual recognitions across different sporting events.

In basketball, the UMTC men’s team delivered a dominant performance throughout the tournament, finishing as Champion. Leading the charge was Eduardo Suarez, who was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) for his exceptional leadership and consistent scoring. Supporting him were Kevin Jacob Patalino and Kier Banluta, both of whom earned spots in the prestigious Mythical Five, recognizing them as among the best players in the tournament.

The men’s volleyball team also delivered a strong showing, finishing as 1st Runner-Up (2nd Place). Individual excellence was recognized through Zianlloyd Mirafuentes, who was awarded Best Setter, and Rodrigo Pond, who earned Best Opposite Hitter honors.

Meanwhile, the women’s volleyball team secured 3rd Place, with Clyde Rose Tagaod standing out as Best Opposite Hitter, highlighting the team’s competitive spirit and technical skill.

In dancesport, UMTC athletes demonstrated grace and precision, achieving 2nd Place in the Latin category, further showcasing the program’s versatility beyond traditional sports.

Track and field events also brought pride to the institution. Jan Gilbert Bayang sprinted to victory in the 200-meter men’s dash, while Miahra Tadena secured 2nd Place in the women’s 200-meter dash, adding to the medal tally of UM Tagum College.

The success of the delegation was made possible through the leadership of the BPE Program Head, Dr. Saramie Belleza, alongside the dedicated support and guidance of the faculty members who mentored, trained, and prepared the student-athletes for the competition.

The achievements of the UMTC BPE students underscore the institution’s commitment to excellence in sports and physical education. Their performance not only reflects rigorous training and preparation but also reinforces the role of BPE programs in developing well-rounded, competitive, and resilient individuals.
