Wednesday
THIS is something that happens regularly especially on social media although the feedbacks from the usual Monday quarterbacks depends on the results, either good or bad. I refer to the ongoing FIBA World Cup in China where Gilas Pilipinas lost by routs against world No. 13 Italy (67-126) and No. 4 Serbia (62-108) and lost […]
NOW it has come to pass after six straight conference finals between F2 Logistics and Petron in the Philippine Superliga (PSL) but then the matchup between Cignal and F2 Logistics is certainly a fitting finale too for the ongoing All-Filipino Conference. Most volleyball fans assumed though that the two regular protagonists would meet for the […]
IF he was another sports official wanting to score pogi points by predicting his targeted gold medal output in the coming Southeast Asian Games, I would not give much credence to the bold prediction of winning four out of six golds, even as high as a sweep of all six gold medals at stake in […]
IT was the very first time that the Philippine SuperLiga has brought women’s volleyball action in Cagayan de Oro City with a doubleheader featuring the game between PLDT Home Fibr against F2 Logistics and the main event between Petron and Foton. Believe me, it proved to be a very long night for me, the players […]
THIS has been a personal conclusion for me for a long time now, politics is indeed a permanent bane on Philippine sports, sorry to those who will feel alluded to, but it is intended. What do I mean by this? I have been an observer of Philippine sports, part time chronicler too, for more than […]
IT is out of the question to expect the Philippine women’s team to duplicate what the men’s team recently accomplished in the Jones Cup in Taipei, Taiwan. The PH men’s team emerged champion with a perfect 8-0 record, practically all by big margins except against runner-up South Korea, the only team to give a semblance […]
MANNY Pacquiao describes his title bout against undefeated super welterweight champion Keith Thurman as the most important fight in his career. The match, which will take place in Las Vegas this Sunday morning (PH time) is indeed Manny’s most important one in more ways than one. I am sure there will be a big sized […]
IT was my wife Marissa’s birthday last Tuesday and there was no way for me to make it to the Foton-Cignal game in Bacoor that night. The personal risk to my life would have been too much for me had I told her that I will leave the house that night just to watch a […]
THIS is my honest opinion. It’s F2 Logistics and not the defending champion Petron that is the team to beat in the Philippine Super Liga All-Filipino Conference. The two met already and F2 Logistics beat Petron in a four-setter. It is not just how this game went that makes me think F2 should be the […]
ONE of the most interesting NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors versus the Toronto Raptors is over and done. And the Raptors just made a liar out of me by winning the series, 4-2, against my prediction of the Warriors repeating as NBA champions. No excuses, Toronto deserved the win. They have developed that championship […]
I BELIEVE that in the past, I have been mentioning the fact that I conduct team building not just for corporate groups but also for sports teams with Mt. Banahaw in Dolores, Quezon as my favorite venue because of my personal experience of how this mystical mountain can affect a change in people’s thinking. And […]
