ICTSI crowned PSE Futsal
Cup Champion
By Patrick Tovey
International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI),
represented by a gutsy futsal team, recently won its first
Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Futsal Cup championship.
ICTSI stamped its class all throughout the tournament, which
was held at the MVA Gym in Makati City. The team played
consistently well, outscoring all the teams while producing a solid
defensive division on the back end of the court.
ICTSI’s Mickael Cardoso was named Most Valuable Player and
Player with the Most Goals after scoring 13 in the tournament,
while his teammate, Juan Carlos Golez, was the tournament’s Best
Goalkeeper.
The 3rd PSE Futsal Cup brought together 84 players from
various PSE-listed companies. The tournament was divided into
two groups with four teams each. After the elimination round,
two semifinal games were held. The two losing semifinalists
battled in a playoff for third place. Lastly, the finalists competed in
the winner-take-all championship game.
Arthur Tabuena, ICTSI Finance Manager, was the team’s
manager.

ICTSI Foundation supports sports programs of school partners. ICTSI Foundation, Inc. (ICTSI-FI) rolled out its Sports Development
Assistance Program by donating various taekwondo gears and equipment to Tagoloan National High School in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. Among
the items donated were protective head and body shields, kick pads and rubber mats. Before the donation, members of the taekwondo team
suffered injuries due to the lack of proper equipment. Despite this shortage, the Tagoloan National High School taekwondo team still won several
gold medals in various inter-school competitions in the district, regional and national levels. Tagoloan National High School is one of the public
schools near Mindanao International Container Terminal Services Inc. Photo shows (from left) Joy Lapuz, ICTSI-FI Project Officer; Byron Gonda,

ICTSI Oregon sponsors Fil-Am
convention. ICTSI Oregon, Inc. (ICTSI
Oregon) proudly sponsored The Council of
Filipino American Associations of Oregon
and Southwest Washington’s (CFAA) 7th
Biennial Convention, which showcased 15
local Portland Filipino American associations.
The goal of the CFAA and this convention was
to promote understanding and knowledge
of the Philippines and the Filipino-American
community by assisting and advising various
Filipino American organizations on how to
advance the educational, historical, literary,
and cultural aspects of the Philippines and its
people. During the course of this day-long
event, locally owned Filipino businesses and
organizations hosted informational tables,
which highlighted their services and products.
Throughout the day, everyone in attendance
enjoyed the entertainment and educational
programs hosted by various convention
groups. The highlight of the convention was
the dinner-dance featuring delicious Filipino
dishes. It was followed by a dance contest,
which was won by Eric and Vivian Tadeo,
friends and supporters of ICTSI Oregon.
Eric is also the Chairman of the Council of
Filipino American Associations of Oregon
and Southwest Washington whose group has
embraced International Container Terminal
Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) first venture into the
United States in Portland. Both Eric and his
wife Vivian introduced and welcomed ICTSI
Oregon staff to the local Filipino community
who treat them like family and consider them
as true friends. Photo shows Eric (left) and
Vivian Tadeo dancing during the contest.
