THE Davao FC Aguilas travel a lot. With the 2018 season of the Philippine Football League already under way, the Aguilas having a national carrier as one of their sponsors is a blessing indeed.

General Manager Michael Shaw said the team is very grateful after Cebu Pacific came forward to help as their main sponsor in their coming home-and-away games.

“In terms of the PFL format, the matches are home and away and definitely signing a sponsorship agreement with Cebu Pacific helps,” said Shaw after a signing an agreement with Candice Iyog, Vice President for Marketing and Distribution at the Cebu Pacific’s head office (8007 Domestic Rd in Pasay City).

The Aguilas currently have a 2-2-2 win-draw-loss record and they are close to making it to the AFC Cup Group Stage.

They have games set in Bacolod, Tagum City, Cebu City, Marikina City, Iloilo City and Binan City.

“It’s a privilege to partner with a team that represents Davao. We’ve always been associated with Cebu. And it’s important that we spread our wings and sponsor teams that are from other parts of the country,” said Iyog.

The team’s players include Phil and James Younghusband, goalie Nick O’Donnell, Ronilo Bayan Jr., Matthew Hartmann, Simone Rota, Brad McDonaldo and Jason de Jong.

They also have James Younghusband, Angel Guirado.Harry Sawyer, Phil Youghusband, Takashi Odawara, Jorrel Aristorenas, Josh Grommen, Omar Khan and James Hall, among others.

Ceres of Cebu currently leads the standings with three straight wins.
