37th PBA Season: Schedule of Games (Oct. 05, 2011)

The 37th PBA season will have its first double header at the Cuneta Astrodome as newly revamped Powerade Tigers will play against another new in the league (new team name) Shopinas.com Clickers in the first game. Second game will be the battle of sister teams Petron Blaze Boosters and BMEG Llamados parading its new headcoach Tim Cone. 

1st Game(5:15 pm): Powerade Tigers vs. Shopinas.com Clickers

Powerade Tigers will play minus their number 1 pick overall and national team mainstay JV Casio, who suffered from Patelar Femoral Syndrome that he acquired way back from FIBA-ASIA championship. The team will be showcasing their newly revamped line-up that highlight's another Smart Gilas mainstay Marcio Lassiter, rookies James Martinez and Rudy Lingganay, Josh Vanlandingham and Doug Kramer which they acquired from Rain Or Shine in a trade, veterans Rommel Adducul and combacking Alex Crisano, to help the team's go-to-guy Gary David, Dennis Espino and the rest of the team.

Shopinas.com meanwhile will have its debut game tonight headed by veteran collegiate headcoach Franz Pumaren. Majority of the team's players are free agents from different teams, rookies and players from disbanded Barako Bull franchise. Shopinas is lead by PBA veteran shooter Ren-Ren Ritualo together with Ogie Menor, Paolo Hubalde, Khazim Mirza and Jojo Duncil forming the team's core. Also in the team are rookies Magi Sison, Marc Canlas, Brian Ilad, RJ Jazul, Elmer Espiritu, Vaughn Canta and combacking Homer Se. 

2nd Game(7:30 pm): Petron Blaze Boosters vs. BMEG Llamados

While 1st game is a battle of newly constructed teams, the second game is a battle of the 2 powerhouse teams and championship contenders. Petron, the Governor's cup champions retain most of its core line-up, with addition of rookies Chris Lutz and Marc Agustin. Petron also got Don-Don Hontiveros and Carlos Sharma from a trade with Barako Bull. Marc Borboran, though has signed a contract with the team, will stay wait for the final decision from the commissioner to which team he will play. All in all, Petron will suit up only 11 players tonight - minus Borboran, Jay Washington and Rabeh Al-Husaini.

BMEG Llamados on the other hand will play under a new system - the triangle together with triangle system master Tim Cone. Tonight's game is a testament on how far the team is in terms of learning the triangle. Lead by superstars James Yap and Peter June Simon, rookie Mark Barroca, Joe Devance, veteran Roger Yap, and the return of the "sampayan brigade" of Kerby Raymundo, Rafi Reavis and Rico Maierfoher, the team is surely a finals contender.

Calling the Police Secretly While Being Robbed in an ATM

I read this information from one of my Facebook friends about how to secretly call the authorities while being robbed in an ATM booth. People withdrawing from ATM are a common target by robbers, and calling for help from the outside, nor resisting is futile. This tip of calling the nearest police station secretly without letting the robbers noticed it is very timely as cases of ATM robbery here in the Philippines increases  especially as Christmas season is near. 

Here's how it goes:

When a thief forced you to take money from the ATM, do not argue or resist, you might not know what he or

she might do to you. What you should do is to punch your PIN in the reverse...

Eg: If your PIN is 1234, you punch 4321.

The moment you punch in the reverse, the money will come out, but will be stuck into the machine half way out

and it will alert the police without the notice of the thief.

Every ATM has it; It is specially made to signify danger and help. Not everyone is aware of this.

Helping The Victims of Typhoon Pedring and Quiel

While doing a blog walk, I landed on a blog of one of the most popular athletes in Philippine Sports today - Smart Gilas superstar Chris Tiu. For those who don't know, he has his personal blog since 2008 (though he's not frequently updating it). His recent blog post is all about the recent typhoons that wrecked havoc in the country the past 2 weeks: Pedring and Quiel. It is about urging the Filipinos from different parts of the world to help our Filipino people, particularly in Luzon area who were badly affected by as high as 6-7 foot flood. Thousands of people need to be rescued as soon as possible; 

It's time for us, who are not affected by these typhoons to help. I know there are lots of people who wanted to help, but don't know how to. Glad that Chris Tiu shared this very important instruction in blogosphere. As a blogger, it's also right to share my part - that is, spreading this information to different Filipino netizens around the world. 

"To those who are unaware of how to help but would like to help, I've compiled some information on how you can help by donating or volunteering via HABITAT FOR HUMANITY and WORLD VISION. Feel free to spread this with your friends, schoolmates, officemates!!" - Chris Tiu.

PBA Opening: Paul "the Lee-thal Weapon" Lee Sparks Rain Or Shine in Win vs. Ginebra

Technically, he may be a rookie in terms of years, but he played like a veteran in his debut game.

In his debut game, Paul "the Lee-thal weapon" Lee showed to the PBA fans that he can compete with the league's finest - including 2001 rookie of the year and Ginebra superstar Mark "the spark" Cagiuoa. The 2nd overall pick in the recent PBA rookie draft was as good as advertised; helping the ElastoPainters to win its first game of the season versus the crowd favorite Brgy. Ginebra Gin Kings 94-93 in the lone game of the opening of the 37th Season of the PBA.

Lee does what he does best scoring off or making his teammates involve with his superb passing skills. He finished with 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds off the bench; making it one of the best performance of a rookie in a debut game. Though he missed all of his 6 attempts from beyond the arc, he managed to get 7 out of 9 from the 2-point territory that propelled Rain Or Shine to its first win of the season - against the team that they haven't defeated in six meetings last season.

According to coach Guiao, "Paul Lee played a great game". "He's physically tough, mentally tough. It's a natural talent". The rookie scored 10 points in the opening quarter that changed the complexion of the game; from 11-2 Ginebra lead to 20-19 Rain Or Shine at the end of 1st Quarter.

Jeff Chan also had his share, scoring 18 points(12 in the third) which includes a rare 4-point play to end the 3rd Quarter. Gabe Norwood finished with 11 (5 in the fourth), and Jervy Cruz with 8 (4 in the fourth). ROS's largest lead of the game stood at 87-71 with 7:43 in the fourth.

What looked like a blown game turned out into an interesting, tight contest as the never say die attitude of the Kings showed; cutting the 16-point deficit down to 3, 94-91 with 20.8 seconds remaining. JC Intal had the chance to forced the game into overtime, as he was fouled by J.R. Quinahan while attempting a 3-point shot, but missed the final freethrow, thus sealing Rain Or Shine's first victory of the season.

 JC Intal and Cagioua both has 16 points in a losing effort for Ginebra. But, it's definitely the night for Paul "Lee-thal Weapon" Lee. 

The scores:

Rain or Shine 94 - Lee 21, Chan 18, Norwood 11, Buenafe 10, Cruz 8, Quinahan 7, Matias 6, Belga 4,
Rodriguez 4, Ibanes 4, Arana 1.

Ginebra 93 - Intal 16, Caguioa 16, Helterbrand 11, Tubid 8, Cortez 8, Wilson J. 6, Canaleta 6,
Villanueva 6, Labagala 5, Mamaril 5, Wilson W. 4, De Ocampo 2, Cervantes 0.

Quarters: 20-19, 44-37, 77-62, 94-93

Controversial "Photoshopped Photo" of DPWH Personnel In-Action After Manila Bay Storm Surge

One of my friends shared the controversial photo of the DPWH personnel in-action after the storm surge at the Manila Bay caused by typhoon Pedring. I haven't watched the picture when it was shown in local news program on t.v., luckily my friend shared the picture to me, to ease my curiosity. It doesn't need to be a photographer or a photoshop expert to determine if this pic was genuine or not. It's a clear FAKE, PHOTOSHOPPED image.

Happy 13th Birthday Google

Today is the 13th birthday of the world's favorite search engine - Google. To celebrate this significant day in the virtual world, a post in my blog is worth a present for the largest and most reliable search engine should be written. Thirteen significant years have passed since Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded the company Menlo Park, California, and Google continue to serve billions of users around the world on a daily basis. Now Google is more than just a search engine. It also has dominated advertising, blogging, photo sharing, social networking, desktop and mobile applications and other facets of technology - Google is everywhere!.

Also as part of its celebration, Google.com shows an image of a birthday set-up: a cake with 13 lighted candles on top of a table, with the characters g o o g l e ! seated in front of the cake. It's a birthday atmosphere indeed.

Once again, Happy 13th Birthday Google!

Android Phones for Non-Android Price

Honestly speaking, I'm not fond of gadgets of whatever type: mobile phones, ipods, laptops,etc. despite the fact that people these days can't leave without gadget. While people are fascinated with android phones and IPhones, I am still using my old-fashioned Nokia unit with 0.3 megapixel camera and about 6 MB of internal storage. While people are wishing for MacBook or laptop running Window 7 in Intel iSeries of processor, I am still using my bulky dell inspiron pentium 4 laptop (and almost obsolete dual-core processor desktop pc). I'm not sharing this for the sake of getting pity from my readers, hoping that they will give me the latest of these gadgets (just kidding). I'm sharing this as a justification of how dumb I am when it comes to technology.

Well, apart from lacking interest of gadgets, money is also a factor. I'm not that rich-type brat who asks my parents to buy me the latest phone. I don't have that much during my school days. But now is a different story since I already have a job; and because of this job, my preferences as far as technology is concerned also changed a bit - especially in mobile phones.

We have some discussions with my friends on different android phones released by Samsung. Samsung by the way produces state-of-the-art smartphones ar a very affordable price. I'm also interested to buy and try these android phones, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to choose. Listed below are the cheap smartphones from Samsung that are included in my list of choices.

Samsung Galaxy I5500 (Samsung Galaxy 5)

Click Image for the phone's specs

The thing I liked about this smartphone is its black-colored design. As for the specs, there's nothing spectacular. Just click the image to see full specifications. The price of Galaxy 5 is currently 7,900 PHP at Tekpone Gadgets. 

Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 (Samsung Galaxy Mini)

Click Image for the phone's specs

Except for the design, there hasn't much of a difference between Galaxy Mini and Galaxy 5. See comparison  of both smartphones here. My friends and I criticized the design of this phone especially the yellow green lining at the corner. It's seems that it isn't the right combination for us. As for the specs, it's a great deal for the price of 6,999 PHP at Tekpone Gadgets.





Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 (Samsung Galaxy Fit)

Click Image for the phone's specs

This smartphone looks like the Android Phone version of Samsung Corby 2. It is also a bit more expensive than the previous 2 android phone, with current price from Tekpone Gadgets at 9,990 PHP - still part of our list of to buy gadgets. 

Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 (Samsung Galaxy Ace)

Click Image for the phone's specs

One of my friend really love this phone. In fact, he is saving part of his salary to buy this cool smartphone. Among our choices, it is the most expensive, but the most powerful and beautifully designed phone. The price of this phone is currently 13,390 PHP at Tekpone Gadgets.

I'm planning to buy any of this phone this October or November, hopefully. But my preference among them is the galaxy mini.

In the News: Anti-Planking Act of 2011

Credits of the image goes to the link that appears herein

Planking is considered only a game and a fun activity in different countries around the world - except in the Philippines. A couple of days ago, planking has become a big news in local news programs and newspapers as student activists used this supposed to be fun activity into an act of protest; doing planking in the streets that causes heavy traffic and eventually made lots of passengers late from their respective appointments. It happened during the Nationwide Transport Strike happened last September 19, 2011.

In response to this "creative" act of protest against the rapid increase in oil prices, an overacting congressman named Rep. Winston "Winnie" Castelo of the 2nd district of Quezon City filed a bill in the House of Representatives known as the Anti-Planking Act of 2011.

Here's the details of the bill filed by Congressman Castelo.

AN ACT PRESCRIBING A UNIVERSAL CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT WHEREBY PLANKING BY A STUDENT OR GROUP OF STUDENTS DURING STREET RALLIES OR SIMILAR PROTEST ACTIONS AS A FORM OF REDRESS OF GRIEVANCE BE STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND APPLYING APPROPRIATE SANCTIONS THEREOF

September 20th, 2011

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Congress assembled:

SECTION 1. This Act shall be known as the “Anti-Planking Act of 2011”.

SEC. 2. A universal Code of Student Conduct is hereby prescribed where planking as a form of redress of grievance be strictly prohibited and appropriate sanctions be applied for violations thereof.

SEC. 3. Under this Act, planking is when a student or group of students lies face down in unusual locations especially in streets or other public places, keeping the hands along the body and the feet outstretched and especially where such act is meant as a form of redress of grievance against government.

SEC. 4 Every bonafide student from any school, college or university shall conduct himself with high degree of discipline and propriety.

SEC. 5. The Department of Education in the case of elementary and high school students and the Commission on Higher Education in the case of college students shall draft a universal Code of Student Conduct to carry out the provisions of this Act.

Further, DepEd and CHED, respectively shall issue appropriate rules and regulations to effectively carry out intent and purpose of this Act.

SEC. 6. This Act shall take effect ninety (90) days after its publication in the Official Gazette and in at least three (3) newspapers of general circulation.

Approved,

The bill have received lots of criticisms (both positive and negative) hours after the bill was announced in a press conference. In fact, it became a trending topic and the cause of debate in different social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. 

Rep. Castelo in a press conference said that this bill was created and filed to protect the students from possible injuries caused by planking in dangerous areas such as in streets, top of a building, etc. Student activists on the other hand remarked that Anti-Planking Act of 2011 was just nonsense and Castelo's way to get the attention of the public and the news. Student activists also promised that more street planking will be performed if no solutions will be made to their grievances such as rapid oil price increase, budget cut on State Universities and Colleges, etc.

Author's Remark:

A completely nonsense bill. I don't understand the reason why this fun activity has caused a ruckus in this country? There are more urgent bill and laws that should be made and discussed, more corrupt officials and anomalies should be investigated, more age-old problems should be solved such as poverty, overpopulation, unemployment. It is a total waste of time, money and resources.

It's Official: Tim Cone is B-MEG Llamados New Mentor

The speculation that haunted the PBA few weeks after long-time Alaska Aces's head coach Tim Cone resigned was true after all - he is heading to B-MEG Derby Ace Llamados as Gov. Rene Pardo of BMEG confirmed to Snow Badua (@snowbadua). This rumor has been circulating the entire league moments after Alaska management announced coach Tim Cone's resignation; that time there was no confirmation on both parties about the issue. This adds to the extreme excitement the 37th Season of the PBA. It will be the first time PBA fans will see Tim Cone sitting on an Alaska opponent's bench. 

Tim Cone will still bring the fabled triangle offense system to the BMEG team, which makes the Llamados a formidable squad, a force to reckon in the upcoming 37th Season of the PBA. Cone will be joined by Richard Del Rosario, Koy Banal and Jeorge Gallent as assistant coaches. Also joining the coaching staff are former Aces and Cone's players Johnny Abbarientos and Jeffrey Cariaso.

PBA Trade Update: Barroca to B-MEG, Allado to Barako Bull, Espiritu to Shopinas.com

B-MEG failed to get what they need the most in the recent PBA rookie draft - a legitimate point guard. But the team and its entire management didn't stop until they got what they dubbed as the missing piece of their campaign last season. If they can't have it on the draft, they can via trade.

B-MEG seems not to run out of luck as they got a legitimate point guard in the name of Mark Barroca in a three-team, multiplayer trade happened last september 6, 2011. The teams involved in the said trade were B-MEG, Barako Bull (former Air21) and Shopina.com (former Barako Bull). 

B-MEG got Mark Barroca, known by his superb play-making skills in his stint with Smart Gilas, from Shopinas.com (their 5th pick from the draft), Barako Bull acquired Don Carlos Allado from B-MEG, and Shopina.com got high leaper Elmer Espiritu from Barako Bull and rookie Brian Ilad from B-MEG. 

Commissioner Chito Salud approved and signed the trade ruling that it was a fair trade, with each team benefited with the players they got. 

With Mark Barroca playing the point spot together with Roger Yap and Josh Urbiztondo, and with the return of the original "sampayan brigade" of Rafi Reavis, Rico Maierhofer and Kerby Raymundo, plus Joe De Vance - BMEG Llamados is a force to reckon in the upcoming conference.
