Mascot |

Fondly called “
Cary
”, which is short for carabao, our country’s
beast of burden. The carabao is known to be a
strong animal that can pull heavy loads. The POF
as symbolized by the “
Cary
” can also pull a “heavy load” such as a
talent identification program, long-term
athletes’ development program, etc. |
