  • Global-South China AFC Cup notes and UAAP Football semis preview

    Global loses 6-1 to South China AA of Hong Kong in the first match of the AFC Cup group stage on Wednesday. My thoughts.

  • Meet the Philippine national netball team

    At first glance, it seems like an ordinary women's basketball game going on at the British School Manila. The players are hustling around whipping the ball at a quick pace, trying to feed it into the hoop.

  • Prize money vanishes in Pacquiao 10 ball events, and a word on fitness in pool

    There is trouble brewing in General Santos City as tens of thousands of dollars of prize money has mysteriously gone missing in the two pool events organized by Manny Pacquiao, the MP Cup World 10 Ball Championship and the Manny Pacquiao Cup International 10 Ball Doubles Tournament.

  • WATCH: Loyola beats Global to win Smart PFF National Club Championship final

    Loyola defeated 2-0 win over Global. They are now champions of the Philippines.

  • Memorable Sports Moments of 2014: The FIFA World Cup in Brazil

    Before I get to the World Cup, let me tell you about my friend, Jun Lim. Jun is my batch from the Ateneo. He went to Xavier School for his secondary education. Jun Lim stands nearly six feet tall. Sadly, Jun was never into hoops, since he was a very studious kid. Now Jun keeps himself occupied with running his family business. Sports was never a big thing with him.

  • Azkals 4, Indonesia 0: Thoughts on a scintillating night in Hanoi

    The ghosts of 2002 and 2010 have been exorcised. In the 2002 AFF championship, known then as the Tiger Cup, the Philippines were mowed down 13-1 by Indonesia.

  • Why Manny in the PBA is symbolic of what's wrong with our country

    So the National Fist is now a player in the country's top hoops league. Some might celebrate it, but not me. In my humble opinion, Manny Pacquiao as professional hoops player is a bad idea, and a reflection of the twister mindset that pervades our society.

  • With UAAP hoops crown, NU's transformation is complete

    My personal favorite NU Bulldogs anecdote from yesteryear is from the early nineties. Back then National was perennially, reliably awful, holding up the UAAP table year-in, year-out. The descriptors “cellar-dweller,” and “league doormat” seemed to be custom-made for the Bulldogs.

  • Arwind Santos finds FEU effort lacking in Game 2 loss

    Former FEU forward Arwind Santos took in Wednesday's UAAP finals Game 2 loss to NU in the very front row of the patron section at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. No doubt he was disappointed to see the Tamaraws stumble to the Bulldogs 62-47, the result of a nasty, ornery, tireless NU defense.

  • Miserable free throw shooting dooms NU in Game 1 loss

    The free throw line is 4.5 meters away from the basket. On Saturday, it might as well have been 4.5 kilometers away for the NU Bulldogs.

  • Kiefer Ravena continues to struggle against NU

    On Wednesday, Ateneo assistant coach Sandy Arespacochaga walked out to the court before the Blue Eagle's Final Four matchup against the NU Bulldogs with the rest of the Ateneo staff. He was full of respect for the opponent that day.

  • FEU's Racela still wary of Archers even after playoff win

    FEU may have grabbed a vital win over DLSU on Sunday in the Mall of Asia Arena, but that was no reason for Tamaraws coach Nash Racela to be complacent going into the Final Four series proper with La Salle.

  • Tardy Mammie not enough to deter UE's drive for a playoff berth

    “I actually wasn't going to use him,” declared UE Red Warriors head coach Derrick Pumaren about his plans for his center Charles Mammie during Tuesday's clash with UST.

  • Adamson becomes the happiest 1-13 team ever

    The record books will note that Adamson beat UP 67-63 on Tuesday, as both teams wind up with 1-13 slates. But there is so much more to be told about this rather unique matchup between the UAAP's bottom feeders.

  • Galanza comes to UE's rescue with statement game

    The biggest reason why the UAAP Season 77 Final Four is still a Final Five is Pedrito “Bong” Galanza.

  • The Kraken unleashed: Fajardo steps up for Gilas in FIBA World Cup

    Last year he was an almost forgotten role player in the FIBA Asia campaign. This year, he's a big reason why the Philippines has ended an almost four-decade-long wait for victory at the FIBA worlds.

  • Norwood's electrifying dunks vs. Argentina dazzle Gilas fans

    In the aftermath of Gilas' heartbreaking 85-81 loss to Argentina on Monday several notable side stories emerged: Ranidel De Ocampo's heady 18-point evening, Jimmy Alapag's sensational second-half threes and the rousing comeback from the Philippines from fifteen points down in the second half. But what left millions of Filipinos slack-jawed more than anything else were the pair of jams by 29-year-old Gabe Norwood.

  • Postgame Thoughts on the Azkals-Global tuneup game

    On Wednesday night the Philippines Azkals had a friendly kickaround with the UFL league champs, Global FC, at Rizal Memorial Football stadium. The nationals prevailed 3-1 in front of a few hundred fans who watched the game for free. Phil … Continue reading →

  • Simon McMenemy, architect of Azkals’ miracle run, to coach Loyola in the UFL

    The coach that helped launch the Azkals revolution is back in the Philippines. Simon McMenemy has been named head coach of the Loyola Meralco Sparks of the United Football League, replacing Vince Santos, who led the team to the 2013 … Continue reading →

  • Chieffy, Aly, battle to regain Azkals spots

    It's a muggy Wednesday morning in the Rizal Memorial stadium, and the Azkals are just about winding up practice. The players have just finished a medieval set of stair-climbing exercises at the grandstand, led by their new assistant coach, Sebastian … Continue reading →
