PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF STATE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES-REGION VIII
State Colleges and University Athletic Association-Region VIII
Eastern Visayas
PROPOSED PASUC-SCUAA R8 MANUAL OF OPERATIONS
Guiding Principles
The PASUC-SCUAA R8 Games are an avenue for every individual in the academe
to promote the culture of PEACE and UNITY, may every participant in this competition will
remember and take into heart the meaning of these words of a famous athlete;
“Opponents in SPORTS are not enemies……If anything; athletic opponents are
brothers in a universal sense. They compete in a contest to express something about men
in the face of challenges…opponents reflect ultimately a cooperation in the form of
competition. Even the words “compete” and “contest implies togetherness rather than
separateness. Compete literally means to “seek together,” and contest, to “bear witness
together!”
I.

RATIONALE

providing services to all stakeholders, through participation in sports competition aimed at
maximizing the full potential of athletes. Students/athletes need the support of those in the
position to be able to create balance in their daily activities that would help them develop

their talents and skills, learn more skills, improve on their weakness in order to gain an
advantage over other athletes, and in excelling in their craft. Ultimately, the purpose is to
bring home the bacon and be given due recognition for all the hard work, and likewise, give
honor and prestige to the institution where they belong.
History of SCUAA 8
The birth and development of the Region 8 State Colleges and Universities Athletic
Association (SCUAA) into what is now the think tank and prime mover of consolidated
athletic activities of state universities and colleges (SUCs) in Eastern Visayas enfolds a
colorful and meaningful story. The idea of organizing the Region 8 SCUAA initially took
shape in the 1980s when Dr. Fernando A. Bernardo, the first President of the then Visayas
State College of Agriculture (ViSCA)—now Visayas State University (VSU)—realized the
need to strengthen ViSCA’s camaraderie with the University of the Philippines College
Tacloban (UPCT). This is because he and most of the newly recruited ViSCA faculty were
graduates of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).
Dr. Bernardo tasked the Department of Physical Education (DPE) staff to initiate
activities which would strengthen the bond between the two schools. One of the moves
considered by DPE under the leadership of the late Mr. Elmer Espina was to foster closer
relationship between ViSCA and UPTC through sports. After the brainstorming among the
DPE staff, namely: Mr. E. Espina, Mrs. Remedios Russel, Mr. Eliseo Pastrano, Mrs. Lilia
Duatin, Miss Thelma Zafra, Mr. Vicente Antipaso, and Mr. Amelito Borneo, The VISCAUPCT Dual Athletic Meet was conceptualized and eventually held on February 5-6, 1982
at the ViSCA Campus in Baybay, Leyte.
In 1983, UPCT hosted the sports joust and ViSCA played host again the following
year. When ViSCA’s Vice President for Administration, Dr. Samuel S. Go, was designated
as Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of the Palompon Institute of Technology in 1984, PIT was added
as another participant in the said meet.
In a meeting among Physical Education representatives from the different state
universities and colleges (SUCs) of Region 8 on October 10, 1984 held at UPCT Canteen,
the group realized the importance of having sports activities among the SUCs in Region 8
after knowing that other regions in the Philippines hold similar activities. The group decided
to form an association called State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA)
whose name was suggested by Mr. Manuel Adlawan and unanimously voted upon by the
participants. As suggested by Mr. A. Borneo, the SCUAA Meet was conducted for a
maximum of three days which was participated in not only by the college students, but as
well as the faculty and staff. The Association aimed to promote physical fitness among
faculty, employees and students through sports development, promote camaraderie among
the participating SUCs in Region 8 through sports, and develop potential athletes in Region
8 in preparation for higher meets.
The first meeting among Physical Education staff of Eastern Visayas was
participated in by the following: Ms. Erlinda Mateo of UPCT as the presiding chairwoman;
Mr. Angel Sudario of UPCT; Mr. Amelito Borneo representing ViSCA and PIT; Mr. Norberto
Canada of ViSCA as recording secretary; Mr. Diosdado Torrecampo of ViSCA; Mr. Manuel
Adlawan of the Leyte Institute of Technology (now Eastern Visayas State University); Mr.
Edilberto Moron of the Leyte State College (now Leyte Normal University); and Mr.
Alejandro Flores of the University of Eastern Philippines.
The first SCUAA Meet was held on February 27-March 2, 1985 in Tacloban City
hosted by UPCT, LIT and LSC. The competition was so successful such that the DPE staff
of ViSCA, namely: Mr. V. Antipaso, Mr. A. Borneo and Miss T. Zafra visited the different
SUCs in Samar, Eastern Samar, and Northern Samar to campaign for membership in the
second SCUAA Meet. Since then, the number of member-institutions has continuously
increased (By Jesus Freddy M. Baldos, Visayas State University, Visca, Baybay City,
Leyte).
Previously there were 13 institutions in Region 8 are regular members of the
association, namely: Easter Samar State College (ESSC), Leyte Institute of Technology

XIII. POOL OF SUC R8 SPORTS DIRECTORS, COACHES, TRAINORS AND
OFFICIATING OFFICIALS
1. It is a general policy in the PASUC-SCUAA R8 Games that the officiating officials
and judges coming from the Region 8 Non SUC’s, the transportation cost to and
from the venue of the competition will be shouldered by the Host institution. Meals
and snacks of all Regional SCUAA games officiating officials and judges will be
shouldered by host institution to include a Free identified billeting venue.
2. Prioritize Sports Directors, Coaches, Trainers, and SUC R8 identified Officiating
Official to serve and officiate in their specialized event during SCUAA and NONSCUAA Competitions.
3. Attend seminars and workshops for upgrading and updating of the ground rules of
their assigned/specialized sport/event.
XIV. OFFICIATING OFFICIALS CODE OF CONDUCT
1. This Rules and Regulations for Referees is applicable for Regional SCUAA -8 game
competitions. All Referees must be prepared to fulfil their duties in the best physical
and psychological condition. It is very important that all Referees, especially the
New Referees, understand the significance and importance of their performance
while officiating any event or match.
2. SCUAA-8 Regional Games Management Committee requires that all Referees
officiating in major events are to thoroughly study all Sports Rules & Regulations for
the games, as well as this Rules and Regulations for Referees in order to ensure
that the matches are run both professionally and efficiently so as to avoid any
interruptions.
3. SCUAA-8 Regional Games Management Committee requires all Referees to master
and be able to apply the Official Rules relating to matches while officiating his/her
sports discipline.
Therefore it is necessary for Referees to know and fully
understand all the meanings and implication relating to the details of the Tournament
Rules as well as the Rules & Regulation for the Games held in the tournament
4. This document is prepared and addressed not only to Licensed Referees, but also
to all New Referees including national and local level Referees. All Referees are
therefore required to read and study its content in detail.
5. It must be noted that refereeing a match is not merely the application of the Rules &
Regulations of the Games as the basis for all decisions. This is because, there are
numerous situations in a match where a contingency may arise when the Referee
cannot merely apply the Rules of the Games without giving due consideration for
the need to properly analyze the situation to ensure that a fair decision is reached.
6. This means that a considerable amount of competence is required of a Referee
when officiating a match which can come with constant learning and accumulative
experience. Such competence is acquired through individual, personal experience,
and trainings.
7. The Referee must always realize that he or she is not an outsider but an integral
part of the game. Therefore, he or she cannot carry out his or her tasks by just
looking for faults in the teams’ and players’ techniques or behavior and from it apply
the corresponding sanctions. This would be a very incorrect way of refereeing. On
the contrary, he or she must be an experts as well as a fair and benevolent judge
who is working for the game and doing this with the players. Only if it is absolutely
necessary, should he or she make a negative decision.
8. A referee should never put him or herself forward in the match, but must remain in
the background of the match, intervening only when necessary. Such behavior is
particularly necessary in today’s SCUAA Regional Games matches. The goals of
SCUAA is to encourage a spectacular way of playing Sports, by producing an
excellent show for the spectators especially through the mass media, where the
game can reach many fans. Today’s high level Sports is not played just for the
satisfaction of players in a small hall, with no spectators, but transmitted all over the
region, country, and the world. The spectators will not like to hear unnecessary
referee’s call each time they watch a match, but they will want to see an excellent
athletic show with individual and team contests in each rally for the victory.
9. A good Referee helps in this context, by remaining in the background. The bad
Referee hampers this show by wanting to play a leading role in the match and this
is against SCUAA objectives. A referee must reward the players and teams for
spectacular and exciting actions which are in keeping with the spirit of the Rules.
Moreover, it is essential that officiating officials/Referee maintains an excellent
relationship with the player coaches, etc. and a referee’s behavior must in all cases
be exemplary
10. During the match, the Referee must be able to distinguish between normal human
expressions of feelings made under the stress of the match and real conscious
unsportsmanlike behavior.
A Referee should never punish such spontaneous
expressions of feelings so that the matches are played in a good atmosphere of
sportsmanship; the teams’ reasonable and proper expressions of feeling should be
allowed, such as standing up to cheer for excellent play actions or for
encouragement, etc.
However, conscious negative expressions or incorrect
gestures to the opponent or protest against the referee’s decision are strictly
forbidden and a Referee’s duty is to tactfully convey official disapproval of such bad
sporting behavior to the offending players or officials.
