Lord, salamat po sawala Ninyong sawang pagtulong

sa amin. Turuan Nyo po kaming

maging halimbawa ng ganitonggawain. Lubos po sana naming

maunawaan na ang pagtulong sa

kapwa ay hindi dapat bigyan ng

hangganan o limitasyon pagkat

Ikaw mismo ay walang limitasyon

sa pagtulong, pagpapatawad, pag-

unawa at pagbibiyaya sa amin.

wise, ani Santiago.Binigay ng senadora ang

pangalawa at pangatlong baha-gi ng kanyang talumpati hinggilsa RH bill kahapon ng hapon.Noong isang buwan binigay angunang bahagi na nakatuon sapaliwanag na pang-teolohiya bi-lang suporta sa panukala.

Dahil maraming Pilipinang

mahihirap at salat sa edukas-yon, sinabi ni Santiago na dapatlumikha ang mga mambabatasng batas na titiyak na magigingmalusog ang pagbubuntis nila.

The right of the mother toprotect herself and her babyfrom death-dealing poverty is aliberty protected under the dueprocess clause, aniya, dinagdag

na: Similarly, the right of themother in the lowest social classis equal to the right of themother in the highest socialclass, when both rights pertainto freedom of information.

NAGTATALUMPATI si apl.de.ap sa harap ng mga mag-aaral ng opisyal

ng Sapangbato National High School sa Pampanga. JIM GUIAO PUNZALAN

Gloria di kritikal ang lagayWALA sa kritikal na kalagayanang dating pangulo at ngayon

ay Pampanga Rep. Gloria Maca-pagal-Arroyo na sasailalim sapangatlong operasyon sa isanglinggo, ayon sa kanyang mgamanggagamot kahapon.

Sinabi ni Dr. Juliet Gopez-Cer-vantes, pangunahing mangaga-mot ni Arroyo, na pansamanta-lang nakatakda ang pangatlongoperasyon sa Martes.

Inoperahan si Arroyo at ni-lagyan ng titanium implants sabuto sa kanyang leeg noongHulyo 29 sa St. Lukes MedicalCenter in Taguig City.

Sumailalim siya sa isa pangoperasyon noong Agosto 1 0nang matanggal ang mga im-plant dahil sa impeksyon.

Ngunit sinabi ni Cervantes nainherent bone problem ni Ar-

royo ang sanhi ng problema athindi mismo ang impeksyon.The infection was just sec-

ondary, aniya, sinabing mahinaang buto ni Arroyo kaya natang-gal ang mga implant. TG Santos

Nagreklamo sa MMDA binayarandaw ng kumpanya ng sigarilyoSINABI ng isang gwardya nahumingi siya ng temporary re-

straining order (TRO) sa kortelaban sa smoking ban matapossiyang pangakuan ng pera ngkumpanya ng sigarilyo na pinag-trabahuhan niya noon.

Opo, sagot ng guwardiyanang tanungin sa telebisyonkung may gantimpalang naghi-hintay sa kanya mula sa kum-panya ng sigarilyo.

Tinanong ang gwardya saisang panggabing programa sa

ABS-CBN nitong Martes.Inilabas ng Mandaluyong Re-

gional Trial Court ang TROnoong Agosto 15 sa hiling ngdalawang gwardya na pinag-multa ng tig-P500 ng Metropoli-tan Manila Development Au-thority (MMDA) dahil sa panini-garilyo sa bangketa sa Cubao.

Pinaglagak ng hukuman sinaAntony Clemente at Vrianne

Lamson ng P1 0 0 ,00 0 bilangkatiyakan para sa mga pinsalangmaaaring mangyari sakalingpumabor sa MMDA ang hulingpasya sa kaso.

U m a n i a n g p a g - a m i n n ggwardia ng batikos mula sa mgapangkat na pabor sa pagkontrolsa bentahan ng tabako.

The admission of the com-plainant that the case was fabri-cated should appall Filipinos tono end, ani Dr. Jaime Galvez-Tan, isang dating health secretary,para sa pangkat na HealthJustice.

The tobacco industry is obvi-ously pulling out all stops toblock laudable public healthmeasures like the MMDAs en-forcement campaign, aniya.

Pandaraya sa halalanng 2004 pinagtakpanNi Gil C. Cabacungan Jr.NALINIS man ng Mayuga Report ang mga heneral saHello Garci sa pandaraya sa halalang pampangulong 2004, ngunit cover-up ang sigaw ng mga ki-natawan ng Bayan Muna na sina Teodoro Casio atNeri Javier Colmenares makaraang makakuha ng 10-pulgadang-kapal na papeles isang araw makaraanitong i-declassify ng militar noong Martes.

Sinabi ni Casio na hindisinalamin sa ulat ang tunay nanatuklasan sa mga salaysay ngmga opisyal ng militar, sundalo,

at sibilyan na may kinalaman sahalalan ng 2004.

The report was watereddown to a collection of generalstatements and inconclusivefindings. This is nothing lessthan a cover-up. A more de-tailed review of the annexes

will reveal more sordid detailsof the [Armed Forces] role inthe 2004 election fraud, aniya.

Sinabi ni Colmenares na lum-

abas sa paglutang ng MayugaReport kung bakit ito inipit ngnoon ay Pangulong Gloria Maca-pagal-Arroyo mula nang pinasa

ito noong Enero 26, 2006.I browsed through the sum-

mary of the testimonies in theMayuga Report and it dawnedon me that certain military offi-cers like [Brig. Gen. Raymundo]Ferrer, [Lt. Gen. Rodolfo C.]Garcia, and [Lt. Col. Victoriano]Pimentel practically admitted toirregularities and fraud in the2004 elections, ani Col-menares.

ang nanay namin,humina na rin angtindahang kinuha nilasa akin hanggangmagsara ito. Ngayon,

nakikiusap ang mgakapatid ko na kuninko sila sa akingkarinderia at paalisinko na raw yong mgahindi naman naminkamag-anak. Hindiako pumayag dahilkatulong ko sa pagla-ki ng aking negosyoang mga tinatawagnilang hindi naminkamag-anak. Nagalit

NAKAKATAWA angbuhay, pati na angating mga kamag-anak,ano? Kung papayaganlang silang kumabig ngkumabig, iyon at iyonna lang ang talagang

gagawin nila!

DEAR Emily,Siyam kaming magkakapatid perodalawa lang kaming babae. Gitna akoat bunso naman ang isa pa. Mahiraplang kami kaya mulat sapul pa,parang ako na ang ginawang katulongng mga magulang namin pati na mgakapatid kong lalaki.

Lalonggrumabre ang

kalagayan konang ipan-ganak angbunso namingbabae. Ma-puti siya attalagang ma-ganda,samantalang ako aymukhang lalaki atmaitim pa. Talaganginapi nila ako.

Hindi akomasyadong nakapag-aral dahil na nga sakahirapan namin kayanapilitan akong mag-negosyo sa sarili ko.Nagsimula akongmagtinda-tinda ngkung anu-ano hangangnagkaroon ako ngpuhunang magkaroonng maliit na puwestosa palengke.

Nang makita ng

nanay kong malakasang kita ko araw-araw,unti-unti silang suma-ma sa akin nang hindiman lang nagpaalamat ilang buwan pa, silana ang halos nag-patakbo ng tindahangiyon. Ang ginawa ko,umalis na lang ako atpinabayaan ko na siladoon.

Nagsimula namanakong magnegosyo ngpagkain gaya ng bar-beque at goto sa gilidng palengke. Napak-abait ng kapalaran.Nang lumaki ito,

Upang hindi ka nilaguluhin paratangangkang madamot, kungkaya mo naman, bi-

gyan mo sila ngkonting puhunan up-ang makapagsimuladin sila ng kanilangnegosyo. Oo nga at

sinayang halos nilaang puhunan mo sauna mong tindahan sa

palengke, pero kalimu-tan mo na dahil taposna yon. Kung papayagkang bigyang sila muling pera, gumawa kang kasulatan nanagpapatunay na bini-

gyan mo sila ngperadahil kailangang maliwanag naito ay utang na baba-

Curious siyaGustong malaman ni Sea-

soned Star kung ano ang mgakaganapan sa loob ng isang

gay bar. Kasama ang isangkaibigan, pumunta si SS saisang sleazy night spot upangmanood sa mga gumigiling namacho dancer.

At nag-table pa si SS ngisang guwapito, na umasangmakakatanggap ng isangmalaking tip!

Ang kaso, hindi nagdala ngganun karaming pera si SS.

Ang kawawang macho dancerhindi man lang nakakita ni

singkong duling sa magdamagniyang pag-aaliw kay SS.Ang sweet

Hindi pa kinukumpirma niPretty Star ang kanyang re-lasyon kay Handsome Rockerngunit ilang beses na rinsilang nakitang magkasama.

Sa isang mall, nakita si HRna bitbit pa ang shoppingbags ni PSplural ha! Howsweet!

At ito pa: lumipad diumanosi HR palabas ng bansa ng tat-long beses upang dalawin siPS, na may mga assignmentdoon. How sweeter.

Pera o bayong?Siguro totoo na talaga ang

tsismis. Nakita si Hunky Actorsa isang coffee shop sa harapng isang malaking venue.Nagkataon lang ba na may-roong gig si Gay Celebritydoon sa big venue ng gabingiyon? Hinihintay ba ni HA siGC na matapos sa trabaho up-

ang magkaroon sila ng date

later? O kailangan lang ba niHA ng pera? Na naman?

Late kung lateNaalala niyo ba si Sexy Ac-

tress na hindi sumipot saisang malaking event? Atlumalabas na si Sweet Star, nakasama sa kumpanya ni SA,ay dalawang oras namang latepara sa isa ring mahalagangpagtitipon.

Sa araw din kasi ng affair,nagtrabaho daw kasi ng mag-damag si SS hanggang madal-ing araw at naka-schedulepang mag-dub nang arawding yon.

Kasalanan yan ng mga stu-dio na sinasagad sa trabahoang mga artista. Dapat ire-speto ng mga talent handlerang panahon ng mga taonginiimbita nilang dumalo samga event na pupuntahan ng

Dennis Trillo, nangtanungin kung handa naniyang makatrabaho ang exna si Jennylyn Mercado:

Jolina Magdangal sakanyang papalapit na kasal:Wala pang definite date.Were aiming sana this year.

Pero ang pinaka-goal namin,eh huwag magmadali athuwag ma-stress! (May senseka talaga as always.)

Hot RR alwayskeeps his coolBy Celest R. Flores

WEVE seen him shoot the lights out, dish outthat fancy pass, score by loads and lift histeam past precarious stretches for the last

three years in the UAAPs but one thing we havent

witnesses is his temper flaring up.Thats Ryan Roose Garcia,

Far Eastern Universitys starguard with the gorgeous look-ing jumpshot and a calm andcollected demeanor.

Ive never been in a fight[on the court], said Garcia.Ako lagi ang taga-awat.

And even on a gut-wrench-ing shooting night, you wont

catch him lashing out on any-one--which happens a lot in

the cutthroat scene of col-lege ball.Most of the players

are my friends. I dontreally get frustratedeven if I couldntshoot against them,said the third-year

guard. I only getpissed at the ref-

erees,some-times.

So its nosuprise thatthe Tama-raws, who are

seeking a differ-ent ending after a meltdown inlast years finals, turn to level-headed Garcia when the goinggets tough.

And this season, its happen-ing more than often for FEU.

I think these losses will helpus more, said Garcia. FEUsports a 4-4 win-loss record atthe end of the first round of

competitions in Season 73.But even as the chance of

Garcia chalking up a secondMVP award is fairly realistic.

I wouldnt be able to erasemy being MVP, but its useless if

we dont win it this year,shared Garcia.

But as big as his dreams arefor his school, it was actuallyGarcias own doing that broughthim to the doors of FEU.

I wasnt scouted. I was just

a walk-in. I tried out for so

Ive never

been in afight [on thecourt],

said GarciaAko

lagi angtaga-awat.

many other schools, said Gar-cia, whose decision to play forthe Tamaraws could be tracedto where he first learned how toplay ball at Zamboanga City.

We got addicted to basket-ball at a young age [in ourprovince.] Some of my team-mates now, I already got to play

with in high school thats why Ipicked FEU.

Indeed, Garcia is one of the

best guards in the UAAP and itscoolest, too.

But make no mistake aboutit, if you provoke Garcia, he willstrike back maybe not with aclose-fisted punch, but a cold-blooded trey right in your face.

didnt know whatcontracts were or

what play-for-paymeant; all we caredabout was the colorof our school, the pas-sion by which we pur-sued victories and,personally, the inher-ent animosity we hadfor opponents in

What you probablydidnt see was theflooding. Yeah,

there was a floodof memories thatrushed through mymind with everystep I took.

I remember giv-ing it everything I hadin every second that Igot fielded in andhow mush it was all

worth it when as a

And then justwhen you felt like vic-tory couldnt tastesweeter, we cameback next year andhammered out aback-to-back. Thistime, we did it

against La Salle. Icant even start to de-scribe how good thatone felt.

Nowadays, youllprobably catch mesomewhere in the au-dience, at the faredge of the crowd,

watching the gamesas inconspicuously aspossible. More thanthe passion I stillhave for UAAP bas-ketball, my job doesdemand that I look at

young hoop prodigiesin action to see if theycan be called up torepresent the country.

You see, I have anew calling now.

As you may haveread, I am the headcoach of the EnergenPilipinas team, thecountrys national

youth squad. We re-cently won the irstSoutheast Asian

Basketball Associa-tion (Seaba) U16for Men in BantingCity, Malaysia.

Scouting for tal-ents comes with my

job description andits something that Itake really seriously.Besides, it gives me areason to return to anold, familiar play-ground and soak in

the nostalgia.And guess what? Ihave UAAP players inmy Energen Pilipinasroster too! Ateneos

Tomas Ramos andNUs Prince Riveroare two players hop-

ing to serve flag andcountry throughhoops.

I hope more andmore UAAP playersstep up and try to

wear the national col-ors. Representing thecountry brings a dif-ferent kind of pride.

And I hope schoolscontinue to put thecountrys interests

ahead of their ownand keep lending usplayers for importantinternational meets.

As far as the UAAP

is concerned, I reallyam looking forward tobigger and more excit-

ing games ahead. Ev-ery time the collegeseason comes around,theres nothing betterto do than sit back andenjoy basketball actionin its purest form. Impretty sure youll loveevery second of thecompetition.

As for me? Well,the Blue Eagles areon a roll and have

won the first round oftheir annual derbyagainst the Green

Archers. Whats not tolove?

PEOPLE crack jokesabout my stint astorch-bearer of the

I just smile andshrug. Sure, the rainand the mud definite-ly caught me offguard. But for somereason, I did enjoy

myself out there dur-ing the opening cere-monies. Every step inthe rainevery sloshin the mudthat Itook before finallylighting the UAAPflame brought backseveral memories ofmy college years.

As you all know bynow, I have just re-tired from the PBA. If

you ask me to lookback at a career that Iconsider myself luckyto have experiencedand pick a favoritesnapshot, I would behard-pressed to do so.

Understand that Inever considered my-self superstar materi-al. I always thoughtof myself as some kid

who picked up a bas-ketball and loved the

game too much thathe decided to make acareer out of it. Afterspending my peak

years quarterbackingthe countrys moststoried PBA franchise,San Miguel Beer, hav-ing stints with the na-tional team, baskingin championship cele-brations and achiev-ing individual awards

and milestones, pick-ing a special snapshotfrom a treasure chestfull of memories

would be really diffi-cult.

Birds of preyBy Ruth L. Navarra

THE ADAMSONSoaring Falconscan challenge any

team this season. It iseasy to see that the sys-tem head coach Leo Aus-tria implemented fouryears ago resulted in thecurrent solid lineup. Youfeel the trust in the ballmovements. You see thefearlessness in their shots.

The veterans step up whenjitters close in on the youngerplayers. Lester Alvarez and AlexNuyles have ruffled feathersfrom the battles of the previousseasons. However, it makesthem more determined to keepsoaring until they alone domi-nate the sky.

Sweet SpotLester Andrew AlvarezLester Alvarez has found his

sweet spot. Beyond the perime-ter is where he strikes fear intothe hearts of his opponents.

Hes so good in makingthrees, said Alvarez gushingfan and third year nursing stu-dent Mariel Regalado.

Indeed, the 5-foot-9 Adam-son pointguard, who is now on

his fifth and last playing year,makes it appear so easy, as ifthere is no effort involved in ex-tending his arms to make thoseoh-so-exciting shots. But Alvarezreveals that he shoots 300-400three-point shots per practiceday so that it will come natural-ly to him when game day ar-rives.

Coach Leo Austria admiresthe discipline and work ethics ofhis starting playmaker. Austriasays the personality and looks of

Alvarez are very deceiving.Hes soft-spoken and small

but very wise. Lester plays acrucial part in my team,

Alvarez knows when toscore and when to pass.

Actually, Alvarez is halfof the pointguard tandemthat some even touts as thebest in the league. JerickCaada is an able alternate dur-ing crunch time and momentsof uncertainty.

But the team obviously de-pends on his experience and

leadership to guide them.On their match against

De La Salle GreenArchers, they were

mostly in control forthe most part. But onthe minutes when the

Archers seem to recov-er, Alvarez keeps his cool.

When his teammates lose

their composure, he sinks somethrees to reassure them.I always tell my teammates

that they can contribute. Even ifthey are not fielded, they cancheer for the team, said Al-

varez, who never fails to correctthe mistakes his fellow Falcons.

Originally from Colegio deSan Juan de Letran HighSchool, Alvarez suited up for

Adamson. He was on his sopho-more year when coach Austriaintroduced a new system to the

basketball program.We are improving over the

years, said Alvarez.Though observers are saying

that the Falcons are favored tomake the finals, Alvarez wouldrather think about making theFinal Four.

Making it to the first twospots is our priority, Alvarezconcluded.

Biggest headache Alexander Nuyles

He is the biggest headachethe other team always worriesabout.

If a team successfully de-fends against Alex Nuyles, it

would leave his teammatesopen to fill in the void he left. Ifhe goes unchecked, he will leadhis team in scoring.

Hes a very talented playerand our top scorer. Our oppo-nents have to work hard to stop

him, says Adamson coach LeoAustria of the fourth year busi-ness management student.

The 6-foot-2 Nuyles saw ac-tion for the Dominican Schoolin Camalig. A priest referredNuyles to Austria.

But it wasnt easy for Nuyles,who toiled with Adamsons TeamB before making it to Team A inSeason 71. He also rode thebench most of the time.

Nuyles is a scorer and if he

feels free to make the shot, he

would unabashedly wave hishand for the ball. Yet, hecouldnt help himself from

wincing if a teammate doesntgive it to him when hes ready.He would, as quickly, refocus onthe game again and do his bestto shake off his defenders.

Alex how has maturity in his

game.He is no longer forcinghis shots, noted Alvarez.

Austria says Nuyles likes tostay in shape and can keeppacewith the running game.

If we dont have practice,you can seen him jogging at theRizal Stadium, says Austria. Hetakes each game personallyeven blaming himself for a set-back. You can see his sincerity.

Nuyles is proud of his teamand is thankful for the system

that Austria brought to the Fal-

cons.Before the entry of coach

Leo, the team was divided. To-day, we are united, saysNuyles.

Nuyles says he works hard toprepare for each game. This in-cluded having a proper mentalframework.

This season Nuyles is gettinglots of fans for his sterlingplays. A lot of fans would gocrazy with their screams assoon as he steps on the court.

After a game, a group of gig-gling fans would patiently waitfor him to have a picture taken

with him.Nuyles can shock and

awe.He can score and rebound.He packs lots of surprise, saidavid fan and third year nursing

student, Ram Javier.

Players of Attention

NO WON-DER, theyhave themakings offuture bas-

ketball super-stars. Runningthrough theirveins are theblood of their il-lustrious elders,who once regaledthe hoop domewith their game-long brilliances.

Backcourt ace CarloLastimosa of the Col-

lege of St.Benilde isnephew of PBA stal-wart Jojo Lastimosa,while the spitfirishRavena is the son offormer University ofthe East and Talk NText swingman Ferdi-nand Ravena.

With their headyplays, the 5-foot-11Ravena and Lastimosanever fails to catch at-tention among thefans and opposingteams as well.

They were the re-cent picks of theUAAP and NCAAPress Corps as AC-CEL-3XVI Players ofthe Week.

Both like to fightand hurdle adversi-ties.

After a pre-seasonbrimming with hype,

Ravena, a multi-awarded Blue Eaglet,

was a big letdown inhis very first game asa full-fledged Eagle.He went scorelessagainst in Ateneos

Araneta Coliseum.I didnt relax after

that horrible firstgame. I took every

practice seriously andmake sure that Im

very competitive ev-ery game because asmuch as possible, we

want to win everygame, Ravena said.

Six games afterand Ravena is a certi-fied rising star.

After my firstgame, I thought tomyself that I have six

more games to really

perform, the 17-year-old Ravena.Ravena posted an av-erage of 16.5 points,four rebounds, fiveassists and 2.5 stealsthis week

The Blue Eaglesswept the first round

with a 7-0 win-losscard and Ravena isntstopping yet

There are lots tobe learned, Ravenasaid.

Like Ravena, Lasti-mosa stumbled whenthe Blazers lost aclose game to defend-ing champions SanBeda Red Lions. The6-foot-1 Lastimosabungled what couldhave been the game-

winning basket.Carlo cried but I

told him that hell get

another chance to re-deem himself, saidBlazers mentorRichard del Rosario.

Del Rosario wasright as Lastimosamade the winningbasket in CSBs 78-77cliffhanger over JoseRizal University.

With the clock tick-ing down and thethought of that missed

shot against the Lionsin the back of hismind, Lastimosashowed steely nervesas he drove mightily tothe basket against JRUdefenders.
