Masculino: The Maker of Champions

Do the world’s best coaches live in Cadiz City?

Is Cadiz truly known as the home of champions?

These questions are often raised as local athletes from Cadiz move beyond the city and compete at higher levels of sport, and win.

Within this growing sports culture, swimming has remained one of the city’s most consistent sources of competitive achievement.

At 72, Max Fermales Masculino has spent decades training swimmers who have competed in local, national, and international events.

He began coaching in 1978.

He is affiliated with the Swimming Coaches of Negros Association (SCONA) and serves as an officer of Swim League Philippines (SLP).

He remains active in training young swimmers in Cadiz City.

His athletes have competed at different levels.

In international events, Kendrick Misa and Jayvion Zaldarriaga competed in the Asian Open Swimming Invitational (AOSI) in Thailand, while para-swimmer Zach Lucas Obsioma won a silver medal in Dubai.

At the national level, Josh Klent Magno and Grant Michael Masculino earned medals in the Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA) competitions.

Other swimmers, including Robert Andaya, Dane Ysabelle Burlan, and IllyMari Ceniza, represented Cadiz City in the Palarong Pambansa. Ceniza also earned recognition as Most Outstanding Swimmer in a regional meet.

Masculino’s coaching emphasizes discipline, consistency, and exposure to competition. His athletes have progressed from local programs to national and international stages.

He credits the support of former City Mayor Patrick Escalante and incumbent City Mayor Salvador Escalante Jr., whose sports programs have strengthened athlete development and participation.

Beyond medals and competitions, Masculino’s legacy is seen in the athletes he has trained: young swimmers shaped by discipline and guided through years of preparation.

After decades in coaching, he remains at poolside, observing, correcting, and guiding the next generation.

For him, each swimmer who advances is proof that the work continues, and that Cadiz City continues to produce champions./*
