UAAP approves the “Jerry Pingoy Rule”

11 Mar

The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) board by a vote of 5-2 has approved a new rule that will somehow hinder star players from their respective high school programs from transferring to a competing UAAP college program.   The new rule could be dubbed as the Jerie Pingoy rule after the supposed transfer of the Cebuano basketball star from Far Eastern University (FEU) to the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU).  The Jerie Pingoy Rule states that a player from a rival UAAP program will have to sit out for 2 years before he can don the colors of his new school in the UAAP Senior’s Basketball tournament.  Should Pingoy transfer to the ADMU Blue Eagles, we can only see him play in the 2015 UAAP tournament.  If he remains in FEU, he can play in 77th season of UAAP, which starts in July 2013.

The UAAP board almost unanimously approved the new rule with only the teams from Katipunan (University of the Philippines and ADMU) voting against it.  The rule also extended the redshirt period of foreigners who want to play in the country’s premier collegiate basketball league from 1 year to 2 years.  Among the affected would be former Southwestern University (SWU) sensation Benoit Mbala who transferred to the De la Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers this past season.  Mbala had Manila schools salivating for his services when he spearheaded the campaign of the SWU Cobras in the Champion’s League Final 4.

When and where will Pingoy play in the UAAP Seniors???

PBA: SMC to re-evaluate participation

11 Mar

Following the Renaldo Balkman saga, San Miguel Corporation (SMC) is re-evaluating its participation in the country’s no.1 professional basketball league.  SMC currently has three teams in the PBA; Petron Blaze Boosters, the defending Commissioner’s Cup champ San Mig Coffee Mixers, and the crowd favorite Barangay Ginebra Kings.  SMC is one of the league’s pioneers and if it withdraws from the league, it will leave a big void that could spell the end of Asia’s first play for pay basketball league. Here is a statement from SMC (taken from interaktv):

San Miguel Corporation would like to apologize to basketball fans and the Philippine Basketball Association, for the unsportsmanlike conduct shown by its import, Renaldo Balkman, last Friday, March 8. We accept the decision to ban Mr. Balkman for life from the league.

We do not condone his actions. The mandate of our basketball operations has always been to entertain basketball fans and foster camaraderie and a spirit of healthy competition. We pride ourselves in having great teams who serve as good role models to the youth and community.

Unfortunately, the incident has been blown out of proportion and has damaged our good name. Already, news of the incident has spread throughout the country and overseas through traditional and online media.

Our reputation is of utmost importance to us because we have worked hard to cultivate this good name through the decades. But it takes only one unfortunate incident like this to undo all our efforts.

As such, given the possible long-term effect of this incident to the San Miguel organization’s image, and in consideration of our need to preserve our good reputation, Management has decided to re-evaluate the company’s continuing participation in the PBA.

Moving forward, we believe sports is a pillar of Philippine society and we will continue to support it and Filipino athletes in general in meaningful ways in and out of the PBA.

The Petron Blaze Boosters (PBB) is the team of Cebuano rookie June Mar Fajardo.  Last friday in their match against Alaska Aces, PBB import Renaldo Balkman went bonkers as he pushed an assistant coach and two teammates before ending up choking Arwind Santos in national TV.  The sad incident prompted Commissioner Chito Salud to fine the former NBA first round pick 250,000 pesos and banned him from the PBA for life.  SMC felt that the incident somehow tarnished their name and made them think about their future in the league and as one of the biggest basketball sponsors in the country.

Summer Suggestions: Island Hopping!

4 Mar DSC09445

Summer is about to start and many are already making plans of having a great summer get-away. One fun activity this summer that you can do in Cebu is island-hopping. Many people just can to Cebu to enjoy the resorts and the expensive beaches of Mactan but if you are looking for something different and more rustic, you can also going to the different island near Mactan.  You can hire a banca for a day and you can even snorkel and enjoy feeding the fishes while moored somewhere in Hilutungan Channel.

You might that such activity is very expensive. If you are a big group like when you have a family reunion or barkada outing, the costs really affordable per person basis. Here is how you do it:

1. Head down to Punta Engano in Mactan and go to the port beside the Movenpick Hotel.

DSC09217

In this pier, you can hire Bangka or even ride a ferry going to the northern towns of Bohol. If you are riding a taxi, just tell the driver that you want to go the pier beside Movenpick.  From the city, it will be around 220 pesos. It is around 20 kilometers from Cebu City.

2. Hire a Banka

DSC09331

Normally, the cost would around 3,000 and up for a whole day of island hopping.  The price vary depending on your destination (Pandanon in Bohol could be around 3,500 at least), the season (summer could some premium), or your haggling skills (you can shave as much 500-1000 on their first price if you the convincing power).  The bangka vary in size but one typical motorized bangka can fir 15-20 people apart from the crew.

3. Bring your own food and drinks

To save up you can even make it like a potluck.  Bringing your food allows to enjoy your favorite.  You can buy lechon at your favorite lechon outlet in the city. Foods like sinugba and kinilaw pictured above are sure hits as well. Drinks are allowed in the bangka. You can bring softdrinks, beer, vodka, wine, iced tea or whatever is your favorite drink but do not forget to bring a lot of water.  You usually have lunch in the boat which can be a first time experience for some.

Sometimes, there are fishermen who will sell you some fresh catch like fish and seashells.  They can even grill for you. If you want some fresh seafood, bring some cash.

4. Ask your crew to anchor your boat somewhere nice to snorkel and swim.

There are many areas Mactan that are suitable for snorkeling and swimming.  While moored you can enjoy, taking pictures at the boat.  For those of who cannot swim, there are life jackets available or they can bring inflatables.  You can also take some incredible jump shots.

5. Go to an island.

2013 Vaseline Men Xterra Philippines Triathlon Results

2 Mar

Here are the results of the Vaseline Men XTerra Off-Road Triathlon held earlier today in the town of Liloan.  Australian Ben Allen retained the men’s pro title by beating Daniel Hugo by 51 seconds in the tough off-road course in Liloan.  The organizers used a different and more technical for this year’s edition.  Allen used his advantage in swimming to surge to the lead early which helped him a lot in winning another Xterra title here in the country.  In the women’s pro side, Lesley Paterson dominated the field en route finishing 3rd overall and dethroning Renata Bucher who managed to finish second. Paterson finished over 14 minutes ahead of the next best female pro.  Paterson is the 2011 and 2012 Xterra World Champion.

Cebuano Celebrity Matteo Guicelli finished 1st in the 20-24 year old division.  Noy Jopson finished second to Miguel Antonio Lopez with just 51 seconds separating the top 2 35-39 year old finishers. Joseph Miller won the Elite men category. Olive Rose and Leendy Ann Salve won the 20-24 and 30-34 female age group respectively.  Senator Pia Cayetano finished in 5:02:27.  The female elite division was won by Alexandra Ganzon.

The Xterra Triathlon involves 1.5KM swim, 35KM bike and a 10KM run.  Unlike the typical triathlon were participants run and bike in paved or asphalted roads, the Xterra triathletes do it off-road making the event more challenging.  It is one of the ultimate tests of endurance and physical ability as the triathletes well have to contend with rocky trails, grasslands, and some of nature’s surprises in the competition.

Here are the times of the finishers taken from the xterraphil.com website. Congratulations to all participants!!!

UFL: Cebu Queen City United withdraws

1 Mar

A season after finishing a respectable 3rd place in last year’s United Football League (UFL) Division II, the Cebu Queen City United (CQCU) has withdrawn its participation in this year’s UFL Division II. The withdrawal was mainly due to the refusal of the league to allow the CQCU to host home games in its home city Cebu.  Cebu is around 660 kms. away from Manila where all the UFL games are held. The Cebu-based team wanted to reduce its costs after traveling to Manila almost every week in last year’s campaign.  Last year’s team was mostly composed of Cebuanos and other players who are based in Cebu.  The UFL denied their request because the league felt that many division II teams cannot afford traveling to Cebu to play. Before withdrawing from this year’s competition, the Cebu Queen City United did not show up in its maiden game in the newly-built Emperador Stadium in McKinley Hill, Taguig forcing the league to give default victories to all its opponents since last month.
