Goodbye, hello!

NGAYON ang huling isyu ng inyong pinakamamahal na Inquirer Bandera, ngunit huwag malungkot at manghinayang. Natitiyak ko na malakas ang magiging pagbabalik ng tabloid na umani na ng hindi mabilang na papuri at gumawa ng nakabibinging ingay dahil sa makatotohanang pamamahayag.Nais kong sabihin sa mga utak ng Bandera na sina Dona Policar, Jimmy Alcantara at […]

Adieu Bandera

ITO na ang una at huling kolum na gagawin ko sa Bandera ngayong taon.

Basketball, football teams balik-training na

MALAPIT na ang pagbabalik-aksyon sa basketball at football.  Ito ay matapos na payagan ng pamahalaan ang pagsasagawa ng mga training sessions ng mga basketball at football teams.

Before PBA, there was MICAA

With the stay-at-home policy still in effect for the elderly since March 15, no thanks to the global coronavirus pandemic, allow this battle-scarred dinosaur to continue to turn back the hands of time in the world of Philippine basketball. Most hoop fans worth their salt know something about the professional league Philippine Basketball Association, which […]
