2nd Freddie’s Cup

The 2nd Freddie’s Cup held on September 10, 2025 punctuated the successful running of Soberlympics IV, SELF’s signature sporting event featuring a special volleyball match between the Staff and the Residents.
The event was instituted by Founder & President Martin Infante to honor his older brother, a staunch supporter of SELF, who passed away in 2020 during the pandemic.
Freddie was a major force behind the meteoric rise of women’s volleyball in the Philippines as he promoted its grassroots development that led to the discovery of many of today’s superstars. In line with this, he used to bring the upcoming players to SELF for exhibition matches.
The 2nd Freddie’s Cup was won by the Residents who prevailed in two straight sets, evening up the score as the inaugural match on September 7, 2023 was won by the Staff.

SOBERLYMPICS XIV
In celebration of its 33rd Founding Anniversary, SELF held the 14th edition of its trademarked Soberlympics intercolor sports competition from August 20 to September 11.
With the theme Unity in Sports Competition, residents and staff were divided into four teams — Red Monarchs, Green Defenders, Blue Knights, and Golden Warriors — that competed for supremacy in seven events: badminton, basketball, cheering, chess, scrabble, table tennis, and volleyball.
This year the Blue Knights were declared the champions after they edged the Red Monarks in the Cheering event by 0.33 percent and won by the slimmest of margins in the overall competition, 34 – 33.
As always, Soberlympics XIV was quite rewarding. Despite the fierce competition, the spirit of sportsmanship prevailed and the entire TC Community enjoyed having some good, clean fun.
Yes, there were winners and losers, but everyone emerged as champions of sobriety.

The entire SELF Therapeutic Community extends its deepest condolences to the family of CHARI LA Ó BAGATSING who passed away on August 31, 2025 after an extended period of illness. Tita Chari, a member of SELF’s original Board of Trustees, was a staunch supporter and a very generous benefactor who helped to see us through during some very trying times. She was especially interested in the spiritual being of our residents in recovery. To this end, she used to sponsor regular Sunday masses and her son Patrick, a SELF graduate, was responsible for bringing the priest to our facility. We are proud that Patrick now serves as the Assistant Director for the Upper House and take comfort that we can offer him a warm space and some solace in this time of bereavement as his intentional family.

Reviving That TC Feeling.
Thank you very much PENGASIH Malaysia for your warm hospitality. It was very inspiring and fulfilling to be able to sit down with you and learn from each other to help all of us better serve the people under our care seeking healing and recovery. As your Secretary General Roslan Yahya said, we revived the TC feeling that we’ve been missing for quite a while. Once again, Terima kasih banyak-banyak!
