Obserbahan drayber ng FXAyon sa mga otoridad, ang

pangkat ang responsable sailang nakawan sa FX o AUV saKamaynilaan at kalapit nalalawigan. Nabawi sa pangkatang dalawang kolorum nasasakyan na ginagamit nila sapanghoholdap sa mga pasahero.

Sinabi ni Nonato Rojas, di-rektor ng National Bureau of In-

vestigation (NBI), na kinuha ni-la si Rentillosa na nag-alok tu-mestigo laban sa mga kasama.

Ani Rojas, nangako si Rentil-

losa na tutulong sa NBI sapaglutas ng pagpatay kay Alis-ter Quintos, isang aide ni Jus-tice Secretary Leila de Lima.

Kapalit nito, ilalagay si Ren-tillosa sa ilalim ng Witness Pro-tection Program. Pero ito aykung mapatutunayang siya angpinakamaliit ang partisipasyonsa mga krimen, ayon kay Rojas.

Inihayag ni Rolando Ar-gabioso, pinuno ng NBI SpecialTask Force, na itinuro ni Renti-llosa si Cahinta na bumaril at

pumatay kay Quintos noongMayo 10.

Batay sa impormasyongnakalap ng pulisya, pauwi sa

Antipolo City si Quintos nangsumakay sa isang kolorum na

AUV taxi na lulan ang pangkatsa Marcos Highway.

Nang magdeklara ng holdap,bumunot ng baril si Quintos atnabaril ang isa sa mga bandido.Doon umano siya binaril niCahinta. Itinapon ang bangkayniya sa San Ildefonso, Bulacan.

Ni Nancy C. Carvajal

LITERAL na ang mga panghoholdap ng isang

pangkat ng mga bandido sa mga FX o AUV taxiay isinasagawa at the drop of a hat, ayon saisang suspek na nag-alok maging saksi.

If the driver [who is also amember of the gang] takes offhis hat and places it on thedashboard of the vehicle, itmeans its time to declare aholdup, sinabi ni Almario Al-lan Rentillosa sa INQUIRER.

Ani Rentillosa, ang pinunong grupo na si Ritchie Cahintaang nakaisip ng ganoong siste.

Kasama sina Rentillosa atCahinta sa 10 kasapi ngpangkat na naaresto ng mgapulis noong Okt. 6.

Pinas No.1 sa breast cancer sa AsyaNi Philip C. Tubeza

NAUNGUSAN na ng breastcancer ang lung cancerbilang pinakalaganap nauri ng kanser sa bansa,babala ng Philippine Soci-ety of Medical Oncology(PSMO) kahapon.

Sinabi rin ng manggagamot

na si Felycette Gay Lapus, pa-ngulo ng PSMO, na Pilipinas angmay pinakamababang survivalrate ng mga may breast cancersa 15 bansang sinuri sa Asya.

So, we are number one forbreast cancer in Asia. Three outof 100 (Filipino) women willget breast cancer before age 75

and one out of 100 will die be-

fore reaching 75, ani Lapus sapress conference ng PSMO atkumpanya ng gamot na Rochesa Edsa Shangri-La hotel.

Tinakda ng pamayanangpang-medikal ang Oktubre bilangBreast Cancer Awareness Month.

(Breast cancer accounts) for15 percent of all new cancer

cases (in the Philippines) for

both sexes and eight percent ofall cancer deaths. So, you canjust imagine the magnitude ofthe problem, ani Lapus.

Bunsod nito, giniit ni Lapusang kahalagahan sa kababaihanng pagsusuri kung may bukol sasuso kada buwan at pagpapasi-yasat sa manggagamot taun-taon.

Aniya, nasa ilalim ng Z Pack-age ng PhilHealth ang pagha-handog ng P100,000 para sa mgakasaping may maagang antas ngkanser. Hindi na rin kailangangtumulak sa Maynila sapagkatnagtakda na ang PhilHealth ngmga pagamutan sa buong bansakung saan maaaring magpaga-mot ang may breast cancer.

The earlier the cancer is de-tected, diagnosed, and treated bythe team of medical oncologiststhe better the success rates, aniya.

Kikay na artista bawaltumanggap ng manliligawDapat ipagtapos muna niya ng pag-aaral

ang kanyang mga kapatidMaraming tao kasi ang

umaasa kay KS, kabilang na angisang kapatid na nag-aaralsa...abroad! Buti na lang,malapit nang matapos ang bata.

Ang kaso, sa sobrang sipag mag-aral, ayun at gusto pang ku-muha ng masters course. Ibigba nitong sabihin eh lovelessmuna sa KS ng dalawang taonpa?

Sa kabilang banda, siguro

dapat magpasalamat si PS athindi nag-doktor o nag-abogadoang kanyang kapatid. Pero teka,paano naman kung gugustuhinpa nitong kumuha ng doctoratedegree pagkatapos ng masters?

Magkabalikan pa baAyon sa gumagapang na tsis-

maks, involved si Gorgeous Starkay hot and hunky ForeignCutie.

Pero may chismaks din nagusto ni GS na magkabalikan

sila ni Former Beau, na herede-ro ng isang mayamang pamilya.In fairness, perfect couple na-

man sina GS at FB noong silapa. Siguro kailangang ni GS nabalikan ang mga bagay na maspamilyar sa kanya--lalo nat maymalaking mga nagaganap nabago sa buhay niya sa laranganng propesyon at ng personal.

At least, pormal na inimbita-han si TF, hindi tulad ni PrettyPinay, na maaaring sabihin nanag-gate-crash sa show at gi-natasan ng todo ang paglabasniya doon.

work.Maging ang mga kasabayan

niya ay tinanggap na ang sigu-radong tagumpay ni CN. Perotingin ng isang insider na hindikarapat-dapat manalo si CNkasi arogante siya.

Sa isang interview,masyadong naging masyadongpa-impress itong si CN, kuwen-to ng insider. He said that com-ing from a show biz clan helpeda lot. Nothing could be fartherfrom the truth.

Ang natatanging connec-tion lang ni CN sa showbiz ayisang kadugo na parating pin-upuna ng mga kritiko na

walang katale-talento. Hindi ya-

ta dapat ipagyabang yun.Naubusan ng bala

Malaki ang pangarap ni CuteHunk. At talagang nakakabilibnaman na todo at walang takotniyang tinangkang abutin ito,kahit nawala muna siya sa ekse-na nang maikling panahon.

Pero pinagbayaran niya angkanyang pagkakamali. Nasaidang inipong pera ni CH at sabandang huli, wala ring nang-yari sa kanyang pagpapagod.

Kaya balik na si CH sasquare one at sinusubukanniyang buhayin muli angkanyang career sa pamamagitanng isang seryosong proyekto.

Ang nakakalungkot lang, tilahindi na kaya ni CH tugunanang hamon ng pag-arte. Hu-migit daw sa isang dosenangtake bago nakuhang maayosang isang eksenang madrama.

HINDI muna maaaring tumanggap ng mgamanliligaw itong si Kikay Star habang hindipa niya tapos ang responsibilidad niya sa

So near yet so far

she depended on mefor advice. One day, Irealized that I wasfalling for her, orrather realized that Ivebeen denying that Ihave fallen since I canremember. She had a

boyfriend then so Ikept my feelings tomyself and remained afriend. Then came thetime when herboyfriend left her andshe was heart-broken.I became the shoulderfor her to cry on. Itried to control myfeelings for her duringthat time. Then, I

gathered myguts and atethe words I

said to myselfback in highschool. I toldher I love her,Joe. I courtedher but she

said no and wants usjust to stay as friends. Istill held on to my feel-ings and I waited forher. But, in the end shesaid that she doesntfeel the same for me.

I felt sad. I wantedto pursue my feelingsbut i respected her de-cision. I tried to forgetmy feelings. My otherfriends advised menot to call or see heranymore. I tried toavoid her but weshare the same barka-da and its hard for usnot to see each other.So I just tried to bringback the old friend-ship like nothing hap-pened but my feelingsremained. Lately Iheard she has a newboyfriend. My heart

was crushed intopieces. I felt torn andlost all reason to behappy in my life. It

was hard for me to beher admirer and herbest friend at thesame time. It hurts me

every time I see themtogether. I tried todate other women butI cant get her out ofmy mind. Sometimes Isay to myself that Ishouldnt have let my-self love my bestfriend. Sometimes I

want to go out of thecountry to forget.

Im lost, Joe. Idont know if Id still

pursue her or breakour friendship to for-get. I want to runaway. Im finding ithard to move on. Idont usually court

women just to have agirlfriend, I court onlythose that I have spe-cial feelings for . HereI am telling the clos-est person to me howmuch I love her andbeing rejected like no

one really likes me.What should I do,Joe. She is in myarms reach but I can-not have her.Im desperatefor her love.

Thank you,Joe and morepower to LoveNotes.

Sincerelyyours,

Michael

Michael,So near yet so

far thatswhat we some-

times feelabout relation-ships that wewant to go be-

yond thebounds of

friendship.There are timeswhen a friend falls foranother friend who,unfortunately, doesnt

feel anything special.It is a time when webegin to want someone

so badly but cannotmake a move becausewe are limited by rulesof engagement. Thereare friends who be-come lovers and

friends who j ust re-main friends evenwhen one wants tomove one step ahead.

Michael, it is obviousthat Katie doesnt haveany romantic feelings

for you at all. It seemslike no matter howmuch you desire for heraffection you will just

simply be her friend.You can love her for therest of your life butwhat good would it doif she refuses it. Honest-ly, I dont think youhave to end your friend-

ship. What you have toend is your incessant de-

sire to be more than afriend to her. Runningaway wouldnt makeany difference either be-cause we can be milesapart from the peoplewe love but as long aswe care for them we cannever truly forget them.

Michael, you tookyour chance in lettingher know how you feel

for her. She rejectedyour love but that

doesnt mean that youhave totally failed. Sheis still your friend andthat is better than

lege to have it. You haveyour friend but she can-not be more than that.You simply have to ac-

cept that,Michael. Let usalways remem-ber that some-times we

should be hap-py that some-one is still a

part of our lifebecause that ,in the end,would still bebetter than los-ing that personbecause we

wanted morethan what theycan give us.

Kuwait slips past improving Azkals

THE PHILIPPINES showedmarked improvement even in a1-2 defeat to powerhouseKuwait Tuesday night as the

Azkals produced a worthy per-formance in a frenetic matchplayed in humid conditions atthe Kuwait Sports Club.

A penalty in the 69th minutegiven to veteran midfielder Hamad

Al-Enezi in controversial fashionturned out to be the difference inthe games featuring two sides

preparing for crucial tournaments

in the next few months.Kuwaits leading internation-

al scorer Bader Al Mutawa firedthe opener in the 38th minute,before Phil Younghusband lev-eled from the penalty spot justbefore the hour mark.

We had a narrow loss whichcould have been easily a draw,so I think that shows that weregoing the right direction. I amsatisfied, no problem, Azkalscoach Michael Weiss told re-

porters in Kuwait.

puntos agwat ng Meralco safourth period upang itakas ang105-104 panalo kagabi sa PBAPhilippine Cup sa Mall of Asia

Sa ikalawang laro, pin-abagsak ng Talk N TextTropang Texters ang Air21 Ex-press, 96-89. Ito ang ikalawangsunod panalo ng TNT sa ilalim

ni coach Norman Black..

Lalo pang nasira ang araw

ng Bolts sa pangunguna ni headcoach Ryan Gregorio matapospasukin ang kanilang lockerroom sa sinasabing mahigpit se-guridad na palaruan.

UAAP SEASON 75:

Party of Fivetion of the Philippines (UAAP)Season 75 mens basketballtournament, the Ateneo deManila University had accom-plished the unthinkable, win-ning five straight titles, domi-nance previously unseen sincethe adoption of the Final Fourformat and a formidableachievement in the history ofPhilippine basketball.

It also comes at the time of

great change, adding a tri-umphant if poignant note tothis achievement, as the ascen-sion is accompanied by depar-tures anticipated and unexpect-ed. It comes ten years after theBlue Eagles returned to promi-nence with their first champi-onship after the so-called darkyears of the 1990s. That makesthis years championship his-toric on so many levels.

The pieces of history lay inthe hands of head coach Nor-

man Black, the bemedalledbench tactician who trans-formed the Ateneans into themost fearsome court machine inthe 2000s. In the process,Blackperhaps the best situa-tional mind in the gamebuilta program that combined thebest elements on differentteams, such as athletic big men(67 Rabeh Al-Hussaini and70 Greg Slaughter) and clutch

shooters (smart swingman ChrisTiu and gifted guard KieferRavena) into a seamless pro-gression.

The Blue Eagles would im-pose their will on the opposi-tion even during the elimina-tions, finishing with remarkablerecords (13-1 in 2008, 13-1 in2009, 10-4 in 2010, and 13-1 in2011) before stamping theirclass on the Final Four and therespective Finals, defeating allcomers and adding a blue feel

to the end of every season.Season 75 began with the

announcement that mastermindBlack would be leaving theteam at seasons end to return

to the Philippine Basketball As-sociation and, even as the BlueEagles felt every bit of the freshparity that had descended uponthe league, long-time team pa-tron Manny V. Pangilinan endedhis relationship with the univer-sity. Despite all the noise, theLoyola quintet finished atop theeliminations with a 10-4 recordthey fought beak and claw for,ultimately ousting archrival DeLa Salle in a tense Final Fourstandoff. A wary, seemingly vul-nerable Blue Eagles squad head-ed into the Season 75 FinalsGame 1 at the Mall of Asia Are-nathe first finals game in theUAAPs brand new homefac-ing the University of SantoTomas Growling Tigers, one ofthe only two teams which haddefeated the Ateneans duringthe regular season and hadmemorably upset the Eagles inthe 2006 Finals.

Pushing like they never had

before and with the metronomicconsistency of forward Nico Sal-

vas 30 points, the Blue Eagles

eked out a win, 83-78, after-coming back from seven pointsdown, a win that would bemarked by a post-game combatof comments from the coaches.Still, the Blue Eagles had-grabbed the initiative.

To take it all, the Blue Eagleshad to win just one more game,on October 10, at the classichome of Philippine basketball,the Smart Araneta Coliseum,

which had been witness to

countless cage gladiatorialmatches before. This one wouldmeet that standard. The Growl-ing Tigers promised vengeanceand the Blue Eagles bracedthemselves for the UST resur-gence, so it surprised no onethat the first half ended at 29-all, with everything to play forin the second half, 20 minutesto history.

With graduating Tiger gunnerJeric Fortuna scattering 20 points

with timely treys, the Tigers actu-ally managing to wrest the leadaway before the Blue Eagles firedback with a great all-aroundgame from the Phenom, sopho-more guard Ravena, who hadbeen having a masterpiece of aseason, averaging 16 points andfive rebounds. The freakishly ta-lented Ravena fired a game-high22 points, including the nail onthe UST coffin, a smoothmidrange jumper with less than aminute to go that towed the Ea-

gles to a 62-58 lead. He alsosoared for a shocking 11 re-bounds.

Already owner of ten points,Blue Eagle point guard JuamiTiongson, in his first season asstarter, ended the battle with acrucial steal that gave the Ate-neans a 65-62 victory and theircherished fifth straight cage title.

As the championship turnedinto a back-to-back then into athree-peat and a four-peat be-fore finally blossoming into afive-peat or a Drive for Five, theBlue Eagles crowned themselves

the best college basketball teamof the decade and took theirplace among the Filipino bas-ketball immortals. What anamazing run it has been.

Now it is time to begin an-other run. In the wake of Sea-son 75, the Blue Eagles enterthe unknown territory of a life

without Black, Pangilinan andfive players including startersSlaughter and Salva. The BlueEagles enter an age of readily

improving opposition in aleague whose teams intend onturning the current world ordertopsy-turvy. However, the BlueEagles will return with perhapsthe leagues brightest talent, the511 Ravena, number 15, whoboasts the ability to take over agame all by himself.

It is he who will lead theAteneo Blue Eagles into the fu-ture, a time beyond Black, into

what the Ateneans dream willbe a Phenomenal new era.

Ray Parks: brighter than ever

Its definitely a blessing andprivilege to be named MVP forthe second time, said Parks.

True enough, one Ray ismore than enough to outshine

the light of many superstars.The sharpshooting Parks av-

eraged 20.73 points per gameand also ranked first in theoverall statistical points(77.2857).

University of Santo TomasGrowling Tiger Karim Abdul,

who was also a gunner in lastyears MVP award, took the sec-ond seed with 15.82 points pergame and also had the mostnumber of field goals made.

He [Parks] scored moremarkers this season with a totalof 311 points (1st overall), 111rebounds (10th overall) , 66 as-sists (3rd overall), 18 blocks(7th overall) and 22 steals (2ndoverall) compared to Season 74statistics which he only had atotal of 280 points, 91 boards,40 assists,15 steals and 15blocks.

Breaking CulturesEven when Parks was a rook-

ie, he was determined to builda new image of the NU Bull-dogs and set a tradition of ex-cellence.

Though the FilOil Tourna-

ment pre-season champs NUBulldogs surprisingly werentable to enter the finals, Parksstill was a man of his words andcarried the banner of the Sam-paloc-based squad.

Im glad on an individualstandpoint that I did well buthonestly, I couldve brought theteam higher, quipped Parks. Thisisnt really my main goal; if ithappens, it happens and if itdoesnt, well, God has a purpose.

Parks also stressed that hecouldve done it without thehelp of his team and the unitythat the Bulldogs have whenthey play inside the court.

It was my teammates thathelped me out, said the 64Parks. They were making shotsfor me and I just score whenev-er I need to. I believe that I justdid my role for the team and bydoing that, I fell to the rightspot.

The quest for excellence con-tinues not only for Parks but the

whole NU community and whoknows, they may shock thecrowd next year. As the sayinggoes, Everything is possible.

By Alexx Esponga

OOOPS, he did it again. In spite of the criticismshe received last year, National University Bull-dog Ray Parks was not stopped and proved

that his spirit was unbreakable after bagging the MostValuable Player Award in the UAAP Season 75.

BlessedWhen the back-to-back

MVP was asked how hewould describe thisseason, he onlysaid a word,Blessed.

Parks admittedthat being part ofthe Final Four

was huge tothem and tothe NU com-

munity. He wit-nessed how itbrought theBulldogs togeth-er and that madehis season specialand memorable.

I just really ap-preciate everyone

who came towatch, support andgive us love, Parkssaid. Next year,

well do a lot betterbecause were pro-gressing each yearand I just want toput on a show foreverybody.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR JERON TENG

Rise of the King ArcherBut that did not hinder him

from showing his true colorsand making a legacy of his

own as he ended his first sea-son in the UAAP as Rookie ofthe Year.

I feel really blessed, Teng,who is also part of the Mythi-cal Five, said. But for me, Ithink that it is just a bonus.During the UAAP, I didnteven think of this because Iwas just focused on winningand helping the team out.

And help the team hedid, armed with a philoso-phy he stuck to all season.

Hard work beats talentTeng admitted that there was

a lot of pressure on him being a

much-hyped newcomer. But hesaid he dealt with the pressurein a different way.

Instead of letting it weighhim down, Teng used the pres-sure as encouragement, as asign that people were aware of

what he and the team are capa-ble of.

And luckily, the support ofthe La Salle community everygame helped him in that part.

When Im inside the courtand hear them, nawawala tala-

ga yung pagod ko, said Teng.Hearing them cheer makes me

want to win more because afterall, para sa kanila rin namanyon.

Most of the scrutiny thathounded Teng came during LaSalles games against Universityof Santo Tomas, which featuresin its roster older brother Jeron.

For UAAP fans, that was an

interesting sidelight, even if thebrothers found it strange to becompeting against each other.

One of the most unforget-table experiences I had this sea-son was when I played againstmy brother, said GrowlingTiger Jeric Teng. For me itskind of weird but it was also ex-citing. I had a great time.

Both teams split their seasonassignments, although Jeronmay have more bragging rights

over Jeric if only for the way

the Archers defeated the Tigers.When Jeron was asked for a

favorite UAAP moment apartfrom making the Final Four, heanswered: My winning shotagainst UST. It was really spe-cial to me.

True enough, this is an un-forgettable season not only forJeron Teng but also for all theUAAP fans who had long antici-

pated his debut.Jeron is an amazing kid and

he brings intensity to the team,said Green Archers coach Gee

Abanilla. He also has a goodcharacter; he is very hard work-ing and talented as well.

La Salle has produced starsthat played in the pros and alsocontributed a lot to Philippinebasketball. Teng is a cinch tofollow that line. And his perfor-mance this season is only a

peek of whats to come.

By Alexx Esponga

AFTER leaving a mark in his high school ca-reer as a Xavier School Stallion, Jeron Tengknew he had bigger mountains to climb

and harder battles to fight in the collegiate scene.

Top of the classBy Ruth L. NavarraI

f UAAP had a commencement ceremony, Nico Salva wouldgraduate at the top of his class.

bered as the guy who gave it all towin, says the captain of the AteneoBlue Eagles.

He said that out of the five champi-onships, the last one was the hardest towin. He said that game against theUST Growling Tigers was the champi-onship they won with the closest mar-gin.

The rare 5 peat onlysunk in for him themorning after. He saidthat he could barelysleep with so much ex-citement.

Salva worked for thechampionship trophyon and off the court.He said that he led byexample. He did every-thing he wanted histeammates would do.

He stayed behind af-ter team practice to doextra drills with thecoaches. He would in-

vite the other playerson their days off to doextra shooting. Butmost of all, he emphasized to them the

teamwork mentality.Hindi mo dapat isipin yung sarili

mo. Unlike sa iba, pupunta sa game,gusto nila sila best player or highestpointer. Its good that you get those ac-colades but you have to think aboutthe team first, he said.

Just like last year, Salva didnt try tooutshine his teammates. He worked on

working with them. But for a guy whohas won the championship five times ina row, his two finals Most ValuablePlayer awards almost seem too meagre.

I didnt get into the mythical five orwin the MVP of the season. I wouldntwant it any other way. Maybe if Iplayed in some other team I wouldvegotten them. But in a team that relieson teamwork, I believe it doesnt mat-ter, he said. Ang goal ko naman everyyear is the championship. As a bonus Igot the finals MVP. I am very thankful.

He is one of, if not, the most funda-mentally sound player in the league.Whenever his teammates appear rat-tled in the dying seconds of the game,

Salva never loses his composure.He attributes this to the smart

coaching staff his team has. He says

that he always know what to do be-cause they tell him what he should do.A lot of NBA fans also notice how

Salva sometimes pull off a move thatreminds them of Kobe Bryant. He

joined the basketball camp Bryant didon his rookie year.

Their picture to-gether is proudly ondisplay on his Twitteraccount (@nickobesal-

va). Salva, who is al-ways eloquent in thepress room, is reducedto a fanboy when hediscusses his favoriteplayer.

Wow. Kobe. For mehes the best player inthe world right now.Hes been my idolsince I was seven. Tobe compared to him? Idont know aboutthat, he said with ahint of a smile in his

voice. I watch the Lakers games sa

YouTube and I try to copy it. The op-portunity to train with them has in-spired me and motivated me a lot.What I learned there I still do it when Ido extra drills.

When asked to describe himself as aplayer, he says that he thinks that he isa versatile player. He is capable ofguarding any position including guystaller and smaller than him. He saysthat he can create mismatches. Butmost of all, he is a very coachable play-er, able to give whatever his team

needs.Salvas admiration for his currentcoach becomes apparent when talksabout his future goals.

Five years from now, I hope I willbe in PBA. Coach Norman, I love him.Hes going to be a coach of Talk NText.Id love to be with him, he said. Ifnot, Ill be happy with any team whollhave me and who will use me.

He hopes to join the PBA draft nextyear. For the guy who made his coachproud, anything is possible.

This Tigers a giant

Instead, he managed to suck it up andproudly smile whenever he looked up at theThomasian crowd. He would wave at his fansbearing posters of his name. As his team leavesthe court after receiving their medals, the

crowd would chant For-tu-na, For-tu-na.Dun talaga ako medyo nalungkot. Nungmakita ko si Jeric. Siyempre bunso namin yan.Hind man lang siya nakaranas ng champi-onship, said former UST cager Khasim Mirza.

He contributed a third of the total score ofthe team on the last game. He made 20 points,8 rebounds, and 6 assists. What the statistics

will never show was how the veteran pointguard fought hard and refused to lose.

Gusto ko talagang kunin yung panalongyun. I didnt want it to be my last game, saidFortuna.

The Thomasian community loved him andhe loved them back. But it didnt start out that

way.Coach Pido Jarencio saw his potential and

offered him a spot in his team after he gradu-ated from the 07 champion De La Salle ZobelJunior Archers. He offered Fortuna scholarship,hospital benefits and a lineup on the Team A.

He was recruited as a replacement for an in-jured Japs Cuan. Expectations were high but itproved to be too much for him.The heavy responsibility ofleading the team on court wasplaced on his young shoulders

too early.Even Jarencio was not

spared from criticisms for hischoice of point guard. TheTigers coach, however, re-mained steadfast on givinghis support and the timeFortuna needed to ad-

just and adapt. Thecoachs decisionproved to be theright one.

I did my best.

Rough yung first

few years ko. Medyo panget ang mga laro ko. Iwanted to prove the doubters wrong, said For-tuna.

Jarencios faith in him paid off in his thirdyear when his potential started to become a re-ality. It showed in the numbers he turned upfor his team.

The love affair with the Thomasian commu-nity also started to blossom around this time.Slowly, they would discover that the quiet boy

who kept to himself and appeared snobbishwas actually a very likeable guy.

He is the kind of boy who would give up hisday to wrap food in banana leaves and deliverit to typhoon victims. He is the type of playerwho would be friends with everyone, includingthe water boys from the other teams.

Of course, his boy-next-door charms madegirls make a beeline for him. His witty state-ments in Twitter (@jericfortuna) are almost al-

ways r etweeted.He said that there are no regrets on his

part. He loved being a Thomasian and the at-tention he got from them.

He only wished that he had been more ag-

gressive than he was for the sake of the team.He wished that he made more shots on theirbehalf.

I wanted my teammates to get more in-volved. Kung marami silang nagsoscore, masmahirap kaming bantayan, he said.

Fortuna is positive that his team will still bea contender next year. He wants his teammatesto live the moment while they still can. Hesays time flies so fast in UAAP.

I will miss his way of leading us.He is not the vocal type of leader

but he shows us what he wantsby practicing hard, says histeammate Jeric Teng. As afriend, I will miss his jokesand laughs. His presencejust gives the team more

fun.Fortuna will leave

his alma mater with-out becoming a

part of a champi-on team. But the

57 Tiger willalways be a gi-

ant in the

hearts of hisfans.

USTs Abdul

back to lessonsBy Randolph B. LeongsonTHIS season was supposed tobe a vindication for Karim Ab-dul.

Disqualified in last seasonsMythical Five selection afterincurring two unsportsmanlikefouls, the Cameroonian stilllooked back on that event assomething which he already

had in the bag, but was takenaway from him.I still think its unfair (for

them to call that foul on me),Abdul said early in the season.

But he worked hard andused it as a motivation to dobetter this season.

And dominate, he did.The 6-foot-6 Abdul broke

loose this season, leading thecharge for the balanced USTattack. He, along with teamcaptain Jeric Fortuna, gunnersJeric Teng, Aljon Mariano, andClark Bautista, and hard-nosed defender Kevin Ferrer,steered the Tigers as they fin-ished the eliminations with a10-4 record, good for numbertwo in the standings and atwice-to-beat advantage in theFinal Four.

He finished fourth in scor-ing at 16.9 points per game.Owning the best scoring aver-age in this years crop of big

men, he is just behind prolificBobby Ray Parks of NU (20.7points per game.

The Cameroonian ownedthe boards by being theleague leader in both offen-sive (5.5 offensive reboundsper game) and defensive (6.7rebounds per game) rebound-ing. His 12.2 rebounding aver-age is only followed by Na-tional Us Emmanuel Mbe at11.5 boards per outing.

Coach Pido Jarencios mainman in the middle displayedhis mastery in the paint whenhe had a season-high of 21boards, when they faced theUP Fighting Maroons in thefirst round of the eliminations.

Abdul tied Parks in thesteals department, each having1.5 thefts per game, and is alsothe second-best in blockedshots with two erasures perouting, behind Ateneo big man

Greg Slaughters 2.9.

He also dished 1.9 assistsper game, and had an impres-sive shooting clip both at thefield (47.1%) and at the foulline (65.6%).

With all of that accounted,he finally managed a crack inthe Mythical Five, but barelymissed the Most ValuablePlayer award by 1.0714 statis-tical points (SPs) against the

two-time MVP Parks.Bestowed with the distinc-tion, the Cameroonian re-mained focused on the task athand, opting to be silent.Their dream all season longhanged in the balance of thelone game later that Octoberafternoon.

But as tough as destinywould write it, Abduls secondseason would furthermore in-tertwine with him with thenumber two.

The Ateneo Blue Eaglesswept the UST GrowlingTigers in their UAAP Finalsencounter in two games, thefirst time the Tigers had atwo-game losing streak thisseason.

With the Eagles celebratingtheir fulfilled dynasty, Abdulremained at the bench with atowel draped upon his headas the blue and white confettifell from the heavens.

In the dugout, the toweringbig man remained silent, frus-trated as they saw all the sea-sons work go up in the air inthe unwanted scent of defeat,as the boys in blue and whitecelebrated like there was notomorrow.

Abdul cant even muster aword to say. Again, he fin-ished number two.

The soft-spoken big manwill still play hoops, with

Blackwater Sports acquiringsix of USTs core, includingAbdul, in the PBA D-League.But more importantly, he willreturn to his InformationTechnology lessons with hisgreen file case in tow, ponder-ing what would next seasonprovide.

For now, all is up in the air,as Abdul hopes that in hisnext year - his third year -third time would be thecharm.

Norman weaves old BlackMagic one last time

By Patrick Leonard Mayo

IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL, players graduate, sys-tems get tweaked, and as far as coaches go, theyare either replaced or they choose to move on to

other coaching jobs. But what matters is the legacythat they leave behind.

And as Coach Norman Blackleaves the UAAP to return tothe pro league, his legacy with

Ateneo is nothing short of stel-lar and could even be consid-ered legendary.

Apart from steering the BlueEagles to an unprecedented fivestraight titles in the final fourera, he leaves behind an im-pressive 110-26 win-loss recordand a good number of players

whose skills were honed andcharacters were built.

But the multi-titled PBA andUAAP coach who often veeredaway from the spotlight neverdreamed that something thisbig would happen to him.

I never dreamed of winning

five straight championships any-where, let alone in Ateneo,said Black. My first three years

were pretty frustrating years.But every now and then, a

group of young and talentedguys will get to play along witheach other, like what happenedin UST in the 1990s, and we

just had to make them blend alltheir talents and come out as a

very strong team.Despite lording it over the

league over the last five years,Black acknowledged that everyyear that passed becametougher and tougher for him.

With each championship,the next year becomes more dif-ficult. The other teams become

a lot better and its like you

have a target in your chest thatevery opponent brings their A-game against you. It is also dif-ficult to motivate the sameplayers to win again since thereis a tendency to relax, takethings for granted and some-times become a little bit ofmayabang. It really takes aspecial group of players for youto be able to motivate them forfive straight years. said Black.

He also believes that in theirfive title conquests, certain

players stepped up and servedas the anchor that got themover the hump.

In our first championship, itwas Chris Tiu and his leader-ship, in our second it was reallythe dominance of Rabeh Al-Hus-saini and the defensive talent ofNonoy Baclao. In our third year,it was really more of a team ef-fort and Eric Salamats emotion-al leadership and in the fourth, alot of our success came in the

addition of Kiefer (Ravena) and(Greg) Slaughter.

But this year was probablythe most unselfish team Ivehad. I had a lot of players whocould win individual awards ifthey were on other teams but

instead everybody had the atti-tude to just do whatever ittakes to win, because in theend, if we win, everybody willbe a hero and that takes a veryunselfish group to be able to ac-complish that, he ended.

THE triumphant Ateneo Blue Eagles and their supporters savor the moment. AUGUST DELA CRUZ

UST GROWLING TIGERS

Back to hunting

Next season, the boys ofCoach Pido Jarencio will havetheir claws polished and fangssharpened, assuring the pack

will never go hungry again.And so, for the Tigers, the

hunt continues.Moving on

Kulang siguro namin thisseason is consistency, admit-ted Aljon Mariano, who justcame back to play for UST af-ter suffering from an injury.Dapat mag-move on na ka-mi at i-improve pa naminang lahat next season.

The painful finals sweepby the Blue Eagles taught theEspana-based squad to workharder and hopefully, relive

the glory of 2006 soon. Titibayan pa namin ang

offense at lalo na ang de-fense, said junior Kim Lo.Everyone can expect 100%effort from me and the restof the team.

Farewell, captainSkipper Jeric Fortuna also

bids his farewell after spend-ing five years with the Tigers.

It was a great last yearfor me because I was able tolead my team to the finals,said the playmaker Fortuna.It was my first time to be inthe finals so I thankful wereached this far.

He also shared what hellmiss most is the fueled and

energetic UST crowd and thecompetitive atmosphere of

the games.Mabait siya, responsiblemadali lapitan, supportiveand encouraging, said Lo

when asked to describe For-tuna. Walang masama abouthim. Very good na captain.

Fortuna will be replacedby gunner Jeric Teng withClark Bautista as assistantcaptain.

HungrierSince the Tigers appetites

are left unsatisfied, expectthat they will be hungrierand fiercer next season.

Pangako, babalik kaminext year na mas malakas,mas determined at masgutom, said Marano.Gagawin namin ang lahatpara matupad ang brokenpromise namin this year.

Though the Tigers hadtheir hearts broken this year,they will comeback with abig roar next season.

KNIGHTS BATTLE STAGS

NC finalists chase history

By Cedelf P. Tupas

MORE than the championship of the88th NCAA basketball season, mensbasketball finalists San Beda and Le-tran are chasing history and the brag-ging rights as the school with the mosttitles in the countrys oldest league.

Tied with 16 titlesapiece, the Lions andthe Knights clashThursday in Game 1of their best-of-threeseries at Mall of Asia

Arena in Pasay.Interestingly, the

two teams are meet-ing for only the thirdtime in the finals withLetran and San Beda

winning one each.Letrans last cham-

pionship came in2005 and since thenthe Knights have

watched the Lionsclaw their way to tietheir record.

The Lions sweptthe Knights in the2007 finalsthe sec-ond title of a terrificrun over the past six

years that saw themwin five champi-onships.

Its our entire bas-ketball tradition andcommunity pridethats at stake in thisfinals, said Letranathletic director andNCAA managementcommittee chair Fr.

Vic Calvo at the PSAForum yesterday.

We foresee this

series as very emo-tional; it will also beabout braggingrights.

This series is go-ing to be one for thebooks, said San Bedateam manager JudeRoque in the sessionpresented by Pagcorand Shakeys. Itsmore than just a

game.While San Beda

beat Letran twice inthe eliminations,Roque feels it wontcount for anything inthe finals.

The two winsover Letran doesntmatter anymore; theyare a different teamnow, said Roque.

The Knights

climbed from as lowas eighth spot in thefirst round, reachingthe Final Four on theback of a seven-game

winning run. Focusedand motivated, theKnights ousted theSan Sebastian Stagsin two games, mark-ing the first time in10 years that a No. 3seed pulled the rug

from under the No. 2.
