GMA pinayagan magpyansa

Lord, haplusin N’yo ng mapagpala N’yong mga ka-

may ang lahat ng mga anak N’yong may karamdaman. Hawakan

N’yo po sila at alisin ang sakit na nagpapahirap sa kanila. Bigyan

N’yo po sila ng malakas na katawan at matatag na kalusugan

upang maipagpatuloy nila ang paglilingkod sa Inyo sa pamamagitan

ng pagbabahagi ng Inyong kabutihan at pagmamahal. Amen

M ALAYA siyang nakalabas mula sa walongbuwang pagkakapiit noong Miyerkulesmakaraang pagbigyan ng hukuman ang

piyansa niya dahil mahina raw ang kaso ng pananabo-tahe sa halalan na sinampa laban sa kanya.

“Thank God,” sinabi ng da-ting Pangulo at ngayon ay Pam-panga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-

Arroyo, 65, bago nakipagyaka-pan sa isang maliit na pangkatng mga kamag-anak at kaibiganna nagtipon sa silid niya sa Vet-

erans Memorial Medical Center(VMMC) sa Quezon City.Ngunit ilang senador ang

nagsabing maaaring mulingmapiit si Arroyo para sa walang-piyansang kaso ng pandaram-bong na hinain nitong buwankaugnay sa maling paggamit sapondo ng Philippine Charity Sweepstake Office (PCSO).

“Once the Sandiganbayan is-sues another warrant of arrestin relation to the plunder case,she will go back to prison,” aniSen. Francis Escudero, chair ng

justice committee.Nagbiro pa si Senate Presi-

dent Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada na dapat iniwan na ni

Arroyo ang mga damit nito sa VMMC. “She might be back very soon,” aniya.

Sinabi ni Sen. TeofistoGuingona III, chair ng blue rib-

bon committee, na “very strong” ang ebidensyangnalikom ng lupon niya sa pag-dinig sa P366-milyong pondong PCSO na nawala sa pa-nunungkulan ni Arroyo.”

“We must remember that she

has never denied her participa-tion in the approval (of the re-lease) of huge amounts of mon-ey. Her marginal notes of ap-proval are on record, clearly af-firmed and testified to by RosarioUriarte, former general managerof the PCSO,” ani Guingona.

Hinala ng mga senador ngadministrasyon, na nakiisa saimbestigasyon, na ginamit angpondo sa pangangampanya ngmga kandidato ng Lakas-Kampisa halalan ng 2010.

Ayon sa Pasay Regional TrialCourt, na dumidinig sa kaso,mahina ang kaso laban kay Ar-royo at dapat itong mapalaya sapiyansang P1 milyon.

Para kay Ferdinand Topacio,abogado ni Arroyo, isang “tri-umph of justice and a resound-ing denial of dictatorship” angpasya ng hukuman.

Ilang barko ng Tsina lalo

Ni Redempto D. Anda ng Inquirer Southern Luzon

PUERTO Princesa City—Lumapit sa pulo ng Pag-asa saWest Philippine Sea ang isang pulutong ng mgabangkang Tsino, kasama ang hindi bababa sadalawang barkong pandigma, bagay na pinanini-walaang lalong magpapataas ng tensyon sa teritoryona pinag-aagawan ng Tsina at Pilipinas.

Sinabi ng matataas na sourcesa Armed Forces of the Philip-pines na hindi bababa sa 20bangkang Tsino ang nasa 9 kilo-metro mula sa Pag-asa simulanoong Martes.

Binabantayan ang mga ito ngdalawang frigate ng People’s Lib-eration Army ng Tsina, ayon sasource na humiling huwag pan-galanan dahil walang kapang-

yarihang magsalita kaugnay nito.Kinumpirma ni Col. Neil Es-

trella, tagapagsalita ng WesternCommand, ang paglapit ng mga

Tsino sa Pag-asa ngunit tumang-ging magbigay ng detalye.

Ani Esrella, ang Departmentof Foreign Affairs (DFA) ang ba-hala sa pinakahuling pangyayarisa pinag-aagawang teritoryo.

Ang pulo ng Pag-asa, na may lawak na 32.7 ektarya, ay 480km mula sa Palawan. Pinaka-malaki ito sa mga pulo at bahu-ra na bahagi ng bayan ngKalayaan na itinatag noong1970s. Mayroon itong 1.3-kmpaliparan.

Sa independently-produceddrama na Lihis, sa panulat niRicky Lee, ka-pareha namanniya angsinasabing kasin-tahan na niya nasi Jake Cuenca.

Pero ayon kay Lovi, hindi silanagpapaapektosa mga tsismis.

“It’s expectedthat there will beall sorts of talk.But we’re notletting thesethings affect ourrelationship—onand off the set,”sabi ni Lovi. “We

want to keep ourfriendship intactin spite of the in-trigues.”

Dalawang mundo ni Lovi PoeNi Bayani San Diego Jr.

K ASALUKUYANG nami-miss ng GMA 7 actress nasi Lovi Poe ang pagganap sa telebisyon.

Pero pagdating sa big screen,baka si Lovi ang isa sa mgapinakamaraming ginagawangpelikula—lima ang nakapilaniyang proyekto.

Para sa kanyang mga gi-nagampanang papel sa pelikula,

walang kahirap-hirap na naga-gawa ni Lovi na mamangka sadalawang ilong ng indie atmainstream.

Sa katunayan, dalawangmakabagong pelikula ang kata-tapos niya: ang indie drama naThy Womb ni Brillante Mendozaat ang pelikulang horror ni Erik Matti na pinamagatang Tiktik:The Aswang Chronicles.

Tatlong pelikula pa angkanyang ginagawa: ang Guni-Guni na thriller ni Tara Illen-berger, ang adult romance niJoel Lamangan na The Brideand the Lover at ang kakaibangdrama na Lihis.

Sinabi ni Lovi na isang sari- wang karanasan ang dinala sakanya ng Tiktik. “It was totally different. We shot the film en-tirely in a warehouse inParañaque … the entire place

was converted into a studio. Weshot in front of a green screenand all the effects were addedin post-production.”

Aniya, maaaring magingbreakthrough ang Tiktik salokal an industriya. “I’m so

proud to be part of thisfilm.”Wala siyang masabi

kundi puro papuri para saleading man niya sa Tiktikna si Dingdong Dantes.“He’s a gentleman. Every actress dreams of acting

with him. I’m happy that Igot to work with him.”

Ang isa pang dream-come-true para kay Lovi ay ang Thy Womb kung saannakasama niya angdalawang maverick ng pe-likula: si Director Mendozaat ang aktres na si Nora

Aunor.“I saw the teaser of our

film at the Sineng Pam-bansa festival in Davao,”kuwento ni Lovi. “I wasamazed at how stunningthe shots were. To think,Direk Brillante didn’t usestudio lights and only re-lied on available light.”

JRU’s detoNate-tor

buries theoppositionBy Alexx Esponga

BEFORE Jose Rizal University sets foot into thecombat zone, Coach Vergel Meneses makessure that his platoon leader is not only ready

to lead the pack of Heavy Bombers but also prime toexplode whenever they need him.

BOOM!

Minutes later, he wouldleave the battlefield strewn

with carnage, evidence of his massive blast, never fail-ing his team in fighting an-other epic battle. He al-

ways comes in timeto only do onething— detoNate.

“I’m one of theteam leaders and Iknow my role,”said Nate. “JRU is ateam and we willplay with unity allthroughout the sea-son.”

On his fourth year inthe National Collegiate

Athletic Association,Nate Matute is farmore than ready tospearhead the Heavy Bombers in snatchingthe championshiponce again and endJRU’s four-decadelong title drought.

“We prepared well, focused andmade sacrifices forthis. I believe in

myself and in thisteam. I see abright season andI feel that we cango to the FinalFour and hopeful-ly, the finals,” headded.FIRST STEPS

Nate’s jour-ney to the oldestcollegiate leaguein the Philip-pines started on-

ly a year after he movedin to the country fromthe United States whenhe was 20 years old. He

was first recruited by the DLSU Green Archers

but fate had better

plans for this young blood.

“I had to wait two years before I

could play for La Salle,”

said Matute.“Then, I was

practicing at agym in Libertad when I met theHeavy Bombers

and they askedme if I wanted totry-out for theirteam.”

He only hadto wait a year forresidency to play

for JRU and so,he grabbed thechance. It wasgood news for himsince he was really

eager to play bas-

ketball and wants toplay pro-ball in thefuture.

“I like playing formy school and the

team. At first, I had toadjust but now, I’m

having so much fun,”quipped the 24-year oldMatute.

And when asked who was his closestbuds in the team heanswered, “Brandon

(Porter) and Israel (Camasura)because they’re also Fil-Am’s.”

KILLER

MOVES

Even though Nate’s first loveis basketball, he also tried othersports when he was younger. “Idid boxing and little martialarts back then but nothing beatsbasketball,” he shared.

Aside from his killer movesinside the court, he also has thiskiller smile that makes the girlsgo crazy and there is a bit of

sad news for those who arecrushing over this Heavy Bomber sharpshooter.

“I have a girlfriend and hername is Rica Joy Dela Cruz,”admitted the Fil-Am Matute

with smiles all over his face.Nate also loves reading the

“Hunger Games” during hisspare time and isn’t afraid toadmit that he’s the kind of guy that listens to smooth music es-pecially “Someone Like You” by

Adele. He also adores Japanese

cuisines and enjoys watchingfilms like “The Departed.”

Although he has a long way to run, Nate is optimistic aboutthe outcomes of the decisionshe made and the things he isfacing in and out the court.

After all, it is not winning orlosing a single battle that countsbut how the war ends and forMatute, he has his secret bomb

weapons to throw to whoevergets in his way and a whole set of Heavy Bombers to back him up.

Schools just wanna have funText and photosby Ruth L. Navarra

IT’S always fun to wear yourschool pride. The halftimeuniforms of cheering squadsare no exception. There areteams who opt to stay tradi-tional in their get-ups butthere are those who try tohave fun every year. Here aresome of them.

• YOUTHFUL, VIBRANT,FUN. The Adamson Universi-

ty is celebrating its 80th year.Their Pep Squad chose tohonor it with uniforms colorsthat scream happy and fresh.The combination of neonblue and orange lines was

very eye-catching on and off the court. We were told thatthe golden stars on theirchests also stand for the “A”in AdU. The uniforms were

designed by coach JosephMascariñas.

•HALTER STOPPER. TheUST Salinggawi DanceTroupe ditched the one-shouldered cut last year for aflattering halter cut. It wasembellished with a gold fab-ric—one that they hope

would not easily fade. Thismade the dancers glitter dur-ing their performance. The

team brainstormed for thisdesign.

•LOOSE AND EASY. TheUP Pep Squad kept thingsnice and easy with a varsity-inspired uniform. If one looksclosely, it appears more like abasketball jersey instead of cheerleading uniform. It wasa nice break from the figure-hugging uniforms that cheer-leaders often wear. Theiralumni designed the uniform.

DLSU’S SWIMMING ACE JOHANSEN AGUILAR

By Patrick Leonard Mayo

STUDENT FIRST, ATHLETE SECOND. Those words perfectly describe the UAAPSeason 74’s Athlete of the Year, Johansen Benedict Aguilar of the De La SalleUniversity Green Tankers. Much can be said about this 19-year-old phenom as

he has proven once more that the UAAP is more than just basketball and that being astudent-athlete in its strict definition is really possible.

Aguilar, who is a consistent Dean’s Lister,considers discipline, sacrifice and time ma-nagement as the keys to excelling both in aca-demics and in sports at the same time. “Eversince when I was in grade school and high

school, I’ve really taught myself to balance my time well. I really allot time to study aftertraining before going to sleep. I also sacrificedgoing to late-night parties and give up thosethings for a greater good which is studies andswimming.”

EARLY INTRODUCTION

The 4th Year Applied Economics and Ap-plied Corporate Management major got intro-duced to swimming at a very young age whichserved as a solid foundation in honing hisskills. “My mom enrolled me in a learn-to-swim class when I was seven and I really en-

joyed it and by the time I reached 11, I wasable to qualify for my first international com-petition which was the Southeast Asia Age-Group in Vietnam.”

His love for swimming got deeper and deep-er when he reached high school where he alsoswam for the varsity team of the MGC NewLife Christian Academy in Taguig and by thetime he graduated, he was primed and ready for the competition in the UAAP. “Since highschool, we had regular competitions whichhelped me prepare for the UAAP and made melook forward to the experience. And as a re-

sult, most of my best times are in the UAAP,” headded.

MAKING WAVES

Aguilar didn’t just become last season’s Athlete of the Year without making a huge impact in the league

as some of his achievements and milestones are of historic proportions. Not only was he hailed as oneof the league’s Athlete Scholars, he also took homeseven individual gold medals in the UAAP wars andbroke the existing Philippine record for the men’s 50meters backstroke, logging 27.52 seconds. He laterimproved this to 27.29 seconds in the SEA Games inPalembang, Indonesia last November.

“All of the achievements that I got are all specialto me but the Athlete of the Year is one of thoseawards that is really hard to get since it involves notonly the athletes in swimming but all the othersports as well and it’s something that is hard toachieve again. For the SEA Games naman, I’m really proud to represent the Philippines abroad,” he said.

BIGGER THINGS

“I think every swimmer wants to be in theOlympics. I wasn’t able to make it in the upcomingone but I was able to join the Olympic trials in Si-ngapore last month. Qualifying is very hard so I haveto train more for 2016,” he said.

But as far as this year is concerned, he has noother goal but to help the DLSU Green Tankers re-peat as champions. “We really need to work togetheras a team and I believe I have a big role to play inorder for us to win again,” he added.

BOBBY Ray Parks Jr. made a very nice gesture during the NationalUniversity Bulldog’s first game. He

wore a white “I heart Maan” shirtbefore the game. The shirt referredto former UAAP courtside reporterand UP Fighting Maroon volleyball

player Maan Panganiban. She wasthe girlfriend of Rayray. She died of Lymphoma earlier this year at theage of 25.

HHHHH

Cheerdance fans could not help wonder why multi-titled choreogra-pher Ryan Silva of the UST Saling-gawi Dance Troupe (SDT) was letgo. Officially, his contract ended onMarch 31. However, it seems thatSilva expected it to be renewed. Sil-

va is one of the winningest cheer-

dance coaches in the UAAP.On his Facebook status, Silva saidthat even when his contract endedhe continued to train with the teamthe whole summer without receivingany pay. He said that he had already started conceptualizing for this

year’s UAAP Cheerdance Competi-tion.

He continued with their trainingeven when he received a “thank youletter” from a party which he simply referred to as “The Office.” It seemsthat he got the official word througha phone call and that pissed off a lot

of his supporters.“If they no longer needed his ser-

vice that’s fine but they could’ve atleast told him that face to face,” aformer SDT member who requestedanonymity said.

Stories of taking Silva out of the

team have been hanging in the airfor months. Some diehard fans weresurprised with the move while oth-ers welcomed it especially after thelackluster performances of the teamin the past few years.

SDT announced that they have a

new coach last week. It remains tobe seen whether the changes inleadership would bring in cham-pionships.

HHHHH

UST’s Jeric Teng was spottedcheering for his younger brother in

DLSU’s two games. At both times,he sat with the rest of his family. Weasked their dad Alvin whom he willroot for when his two sons face eachother in the upcoming UST-DLSUgame on August 4. He sheepishly answered, “hati!”

RAFA has been with the UP Pepfor three years. It’s her job tolift the spirits of her school-mates especially during the

games but she couldtake breaks duringtimeouts. Yet, wespotted her tirelessly dancing even at thistime. That’s a yay forschool spirit!

QUADRICENTENNIAL PAVILION

UST unveils state

of the art coliseum“international sportingevents.”

Outside the basketballcourt are the IPEA adminis-trative office and IPEA facul-ty rooms. Also two coaches’lounges and two lockerrooms are located near thebasketball court.

At the third floor is an in-door track oval with a coupleof drinking fountains situated

on every turn. Its windowsalso hold posters of memo-rable sporting events inThomasian history.

To reinforce the QPav se-curity, closed-circuit televi-sion (CCTV) cameras are in-stalled in every corner of thePavilion.

Despite its innovationsand advancements, Sam-buang said that the comple-tion of the whole Pavilion

will take almost a year and

new facilities will be installed within a time frame.

“Right now it’s almostnearing completion with fin-ishing touches in the electri-cal and paint jobs needing tobe attended to,” said Sam-buang.

“The athletes are already training here and we havetransferred our offices here,and maybe, if the priests

would have it, a wall-climbing

facility can be installed here”

A FTER its 39-year supremacy in the 85-year-old University Athletic Association of thePhilippines, the University of Santo Tomas

has upped the ante with its newest sporting Valhalla.

Situated on 11, 784.33square-meters of land, theQuadricentennial Pavilion(QPav) is the new home of the UAAP’s striped competi-

tors, and is considered themost advanced school facility among Philippine universities.

“By far, compared to otherschools and colleges of theUAAP, the QPav is the mostadvanced facility,” said Assis-tant Professor Rodrigo I. Sam-buang, UST Institute of Physi-cal Education and Athletics

Athletics Moderator. “Not only is it a sporting facility, it’s amulti-purpose building that

can host other events, andeven international conven-tions.”

Last November, the QPav hosted the 8th QuacquarelliSymonds-Asia Pacific Profes-sional Leaders in Education(QS-Apple) conference andexhibition, an internationalconvention of school officialsabout scholastic concerns.

Located on the first floor of the Pavilion are trainingrooms for UST’s champion

teams of judo, taekwondo,table tennis, fencing, bad-minton, and a dancing hallfor the Salinggawi DanceTroupe. The first floor also

houses a two-level fitnessgym, a gymnastics room andfive lecture rooms for IPEA classes.

A steel masterpiece is alsolocated on the lobby facingEspaña Boulevard, “Campe-one” by Thomasian artist JoeDatuin. The sculpture won inthe Olympic CommitteeSports and Arts contest in2008.

At the heart of the QPav ,

is the parquet basketballcourt which Sambuang saidis the “crowning glory of the

whole pavilion.” An NBA-standard hardcourt adorned

with black-gold-white tigerstripes and a hand-paintedtiger’s head in the center cap-tures the Thomasian’s sport-ing intensity.

With 5,000 seats sur-rounding the parquet floor,Sambuang said that thePavilion is capable of holding

ATENEO VS. LA SALLE SEASON 75

Early Reckoning

The four-time defendingchampion Blue Eagles, the prog-nosticators’ favorite to win it allagain this season, demolishedthe Adamson Falcons, 73-57, intheir first game and thendropped a heartbreaking andeasily winnable game to theUniversity of Santo TomasGrowling Tigers by a solitary point, 71-70. Bouncing back inmighty fashion however, theBlue Eagles flattened title con-

tender National University Bull-dogs 89-95. After their wake-upcall against UST, the Ateneansmust be brimming with confi-dence heading into their face-off with their bitter rivals.

Waiting for them will be adangerous De La Salle squad.

After fending off a late Universi-ty of the Philippines challengein their opening game toemerge victorious, 73-68, theGreen Archers ran rings aroundthe University of the East Red

Warriors, 67-59, to pull away asearly league leaders. But a reso-lute Far Eastern University quin-tet shocked the Taft dribblers inthe endgame with a defense-dominated ballgame, 48-46.The Green Archers look forwardto possible redemption againstthe Loyola squad.

A lot of attention has beenfocused on the two teams asidefrom the dual predictions thatboth shall make the final four

this year if they play up to ex-pectations. But there’s a lot go-ing on behind the lines, espe-cially with regards to the coach-ing situations on both sides.

The Ateneo’s multiple-titledcoach, Norman Black has al-ready announced that he isleaving the team after this

year’s reach for that rare fifthstraight championship. Even asthe team tries to defend itscrown on the floor, a much-

scrutinized search for Black’s

successor is going on away fromthe games.

What is clear is that this is theend of an era for the Blue Eagles,and what an era, with the Ateneoperched atop the UAAP basketballstandings since 2008.

After failing to reach the finalfour last season, the Green

Archers started a new era of theirown, with long-time mentorFranz Pumaren exiting. In hisplace is bright Gelacio “Gee”

Abanilla, charged with the man-date of making over the De LaSalle squad in his image. The DL-SU fans look forward to whatshould be a solid run under anew coach, hopefully as enduringas Pumaren’s run with the team.

The Blue Eagles will lean ontheir potent starters, featuringreigning rookie of the year KieferRavena, smooth swingman NicoSalva and the hulking presence of 7-foot Greg Slaughter. A nascentaddition has been point guard

Juami Tiongson, who has orches-trated the team’s offense withpoise while scoring at willand—most notably—turning theball over only once so far this sea-son. Defensive-minded jitterbugTonino Gonzaga or energetic andlong Oping Sumalinog fill out thestarters. When this unit is clicking,

with Slaughter executing the in-out offense with the outsideshooters, the Ateneo is hard tobeat.

The De La Salle offense is in-stead run out of the backcourt

with fierce LA Revilla and thisseason’s designated gunslinger,star rookie Jeron Teng headlin-ing a penetration-and-pass sys-tem. Teng has already provedhe can lead the DLSU attack,and athletic big men NorbertTorres and Arnold Van Opstalprovide ceiling and those all-im-portant offensive rebounds.Emerging as the designated

stopper is Jed Manguera.

While the Blue Eagles have asuperior starting unit, the Green

Archers have a more depend-able bench unit. The Blue Ea-gles can dominate right off thebat but when it comes time tosit Slaughter and Ravena, the

Ateneo reserves have proven in-consistent. It will fall to centerJustin Chua and the come-back-ing forward Ryan Buenafe tofind buckets while the startersrest. Their recent performancespromise much and may provethe key to their title defense.

On the other hand, the LaSallians jump off the bench

with more energy, p articularly with gifted scoring guards Al-mond Vosotros and JarelanTampus hard-working JovetMendoza plus veterans JoshuaWebb and Yutien Andrada. Even

as Abanilla breaks in freshmanpoint man Mark Tallo, theGreen Archers have less of agap heading into substitutions.

Both teams are likely tothrow zones at each other andchallenge the other to beatthem from the perimeter, some-thing that isn’t automatic withthis year’s incarnation of thetwo teams. This is particularly important for the Green Archers

who will need this to neutralize

Slaughter’s defensive presencein the paint. Another elementthe Green Archers have to pay attention to is their free-throwshooting, which has been disap-pointing so far. The Blue Eaglesneed to focus on execution, par-ticularly out of their two-mangame, with Slaughter needingto pass out of double-teams andothers making the extra pass

when the defense bites.From a scheduling stand-

point, the Eagles face an easierfuture, with games against UPand UE up next before an antic-ipated match-up with losing2011 finalist FEU at round’send. DLSU, on the other hand,

will meet tougher competition with the upset-minded USTTigers, AdU Falcons and the

wounded NU Bulldogs comingup. In that sense, DLSU needsthis win more with no easy

wins left in the remainder of their schedule.

A S it always has been, the Ateneo Blue Eaglesand the De La Salle Green Archers find eachother at a standoff, but this time very early in

the 75th season of the UAAP. With just three games un-der their belts, the two teams boast identical 2-1 win-loss records and got there in similar fashion.

With identicalrecords,

archrivalsAteneo BlueEagles andDe La Salle

GreenArchers faceoff in a new

era of theUAAP with

much toplay for

THE CLASH JULY 28

(Mall of Asia Arena)

2 p.m.-UST vs NU

4 p.m.-DLSU vs Ateneo

Looking at the long-term im-

plications, these two squads caneasily find themselves clashingagain, either in the final four ormaybe even the season 75 finals.

One expects the two teams tobe at full attention this Saturday ready, as always, to play theircross-town rivals. History is in thefavor of the Blue Eagles, as the

Ateneans are a combined 9-1against the Archers in the UAAPat the Smart Araneta Coliseumsince the Ateneo four-peat com-

menced in 2008. But the Green Archers are hungry to start theirnew era with a resonant winagainst the Blue Eagles in the

very first Ateneo-La Salle classicto be played at the brand newMall of Asia Arena. Everyone likesto say that the wins and lossesdon’t matter when these two sto-ried sides meet, and that’s why

Ateneo-La Salle remains the mostcompelling draw in Philippinesports, regardless of records andseasons.
