Soar high, UP ComBroadSoc!
Every minute I spent as The UP Community Broadcasters' Society's Chief Anchor is a minute well spent and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything else.
I thank our beloved advisers and alumni for all the support and patience, and of course to all our resident members for making every general assembly, every activity, possible.
We also thank all the organizations that we have worked with throughout the year.
Our sincerest gratitude to the College of Development Communication and to University of the Philippines Los Banos as well.
These lovely ladies in the photo with me worked hard for our organization. It's always a pleasure being included in the Executive Committee with all of you. It doesn't feel like we were working all year long because of the laughter and all the good vibes you all bring. Lovelots!
To our next Executive Committee, two words: Passion. Excellence.
On to our 10th year! Soar high, UP ComBroadSoc!

Tara Kabarangay, Usap Tayo
by Leah Reonal
Kumusta, kabs?
Wala kang magawa, no?
Iniisip mo ung bukas, no?
Ako nga dapt tulog na ko kasi night duty pa mamaya. Ewan wala akong magawa eh.
Di ako makapag-fb kasi puro mga friends kong maka-San Mig nandun.
Di ako makapagbasa ng diyaryo kasi di ko naman magugustuhan makikita ko.
Lint*k pati ba naman Yahoo news?!
Di nga rin ako makapagkape kasi San Mig coffee binili nila, sabi ko yung "yummy" ang bilhin eh.
Nga pala kabs, balita ko may batuhang nangyayari?
Binabato mo daw ng sisi si Tinyente?
Actually, alam mo nung baging salta si Gineral dito sa barangay, mixed emotions ako eh.
Syempre masaya kasi jackpot tayo. Pero parang iba eh, parang di ko siya ganun ka-feel...kasi parang di niya rin feel dito, na-feel mo ba un?
Pero unti-unti, kabs, nabago niya yung tingin ko sa kanya.
Kasabay ng pagsabi niyang, "Nakuha na ni Mark ung loob ko at nakuha ko na rin yung loob niya". Parang ano kasi eh....parang nakuha na niya yung loob ko.
Lalo na nung sinabe niya, "Na-absorb ko na yung Never Say Die spirit ng Ginebra" Lupit nu'n. Feel na feel ko nang kabarangay siya.
Tapos nung na-injure si Mark last year, tanda mo, halos siya yung bumitbit satin pa-Finals.
Tanda mo yung mga crucial wins naten vs. Meralco at TNT? Diba puro assist niya yun?
Tanda mo last Quarterfinals, nangako siya na ibabawi niya tayo kay Abueva at sa Alaska?
Kabs, tinupad niya yun.
Aakalain mo bang sa dami ng nagawa niya para sa team at sa fans eh mahigit isang taon palang pala siyang kabarangay?
Siguro naman kabs, sa dami ng saya na dinala niya sa atin, baka pwede palagpasin mo na 'to.
Ganito nalang pag kaya mo nang mag Pilita Corrales shot, mag 360-degree reverse layup at mag steal gamit yung face mo, sige maiintindihan ko yung paninisi mo.
Sino bang gustong matalo, kabs? Wala naman diba?
Pero yung lungkot at bigat na nararamdaman mo, doble niyan yung nararamdaman ni LA. Pwede ba wag na nating dagdagan?
Kasi alam mo kahit napakaraming fans ng Ginebra, kung ako ang nasa katayuan ni Captain point guard, pakiramdam ko nag-iisa ako.
Ito medyo harsh, ah. Ikaw kasi eh.
Kabs, kung sa ganito hindi mo kayang sumuporta, siguro wag nalang. Dun ka nalang sa TNT kasi championship caliber team na yun. O kaya sa ROS kasi pasok na sila sa Finals. O kaya sa Alaska kasi may bragging rights sila laban sa Ginebra eh dahil sa lechugas na sweep last year
.
Pero kung bumalik ka na sa huwisyo at maisip mong hindi mo kayang mag-cheer sa ibang team other than Ginebra, tumahimik ka sa mga paninisi mo at makihawak kamay ka samin.
#RespectForLA

Straight from a Ginebra fan: Still an Underdog at Heart by Jane Oliveros
Still an Underdog at Heart
I was awake at 5 o'clock in the morning thinking about my beloved team. And here I am, close to crying, yet again.
All day long I've been emotional. Been crying all day for some stupid reason. So, when I watched the game, I was extra-emotional. I can't cheer for them like I used to do every game. All I wanted was to watch the damn game.
Shit. My tears, don't fall now please.
I really can't believe how affected I am, when it comes to Ginebra. It's just a team, for pete's sake. How can they control millions of people's emotions when they're just a damn team? Damn great team! Do they care about us? Do they think about us everytime they lose? Do they read all our tweets, though some of those are criticisms?
Talo eh. P*tangina. Why did we lose? Why did we f*cking lose? We're close to winning god dammit!
Since the start of the series, Ginebra's game was soooooo different from the way they play during the elims. Japeth is not on his usual explosive self. LA is not on his usual 'pointguard minded' self. The team just lost their swag and confidence! I don't know but everytime Ginebra plays against San Mig, the inner underdog feeling comes out. (Powerhouse team na daw kasi tayo.)
I just can't accept that San Mig kept on bullying my team. Of all the teams, why San Mig? This San Mig team that I hated the most. The team that shut down our hopes of entering the finals twice in 2012. The B-Meg team. God. I thought I forgot about them already, coz I know my team can beat them. But here we go again, they're leading the series, 3-2. Isa na lang aalagwa na. At isang talo na lang natin babagsak na tayo.
They're leading but it's not yet over. No no no no no. F*ck, no. Our backs are against the wall once again.
Which I can proudly say, where Ginebra plays at its finest.
Which I can proudly say, where Ginebra plays at its finest.
This 'Never Say Die' team has proved countless of times that in this world, nothing's impossible. If you only believe. I chose to believe them.
This is the time na kailangan magtiwala na lang sa isa't isa. Wala na eh, ano magsisisihan pa? Do that after the series.
LA made mistakes, yeah, but remember what he did last season? Nagpapakamatay siya doon sa court. Babawi at babawi yan. Especially in this kind of situation. He's not called 'Showtime Tenorio' for nothing.
Japeth, I know, is due for an explosion. I can feel it. You see, in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter, he was aggressive, he was attacking the basket. May and-1 play pa nga di ba? I hope it helped him bring back his confidence.
This is the time that our team needs us the most. Tayo ring mga fans eh, cheering at its finest ang peg pag ganitong mga sitwasyon. As much as possible, wag ng papagsalitain yung sa kabilang team. From the jumpball pa lang, let us show our team how much we love them, how much we believe in them.
Game 6 and Game 7. Akalain mo yun, dalawang games na lang pala, makakamit na ng team ang objective nila: to enter the finals. Tas another 4 wins na lang, makakamit na ng team ang pangarap nila, actually ang pangarap nating lahat: ang mag-champion ang Ginebra.
Our beloved team.
Our Ginebra.
Nakakapagod. Ang dami ng pasakit na ibinigay sa atin. Pero isang tres lang ni Idol, isang rebound lang ni Idol, isang putback lang, isang slam lang ni Idol, isang panalo lang, nawawala na ang agam-agam. Nawawala ang pagod, nabubuhayan ng pag-asa. Pano pa kapag nag-champion? Worth it lahat ng yon. Yung sakit mapapalitan ng sarap. Yung pagod mapapalitan ng ginhawa.
Kaya to our dearest team, your backs are against the wall, but we're behind your back whatever happens. We're all in this together. Nothing's gonna stop us now. Walang susuko, tuloy ang laban ang peg. Kapag di nyo na kayang lumaban, tingala lang po kayo, makikita nyo yang napakaraming tao, lahat sila naniniwala sa inyo. Lahat sila nagtitiwala at umaasa sa inyo. Sasabayan po namin kayo sa tinatahak nyong landas, landas patungo sa kampeyonato...

Straight from a Ginebra fan: Don't Ever Count Us Out by Leah Reonal
Don't Ever Count Us Out
by Leah Reonal
She*t. Ano ba naman to. Nakakaasar.
Talo. Panalo. Talo. Panalo. Talo. = 2-3.
Sakit.
Mali ba to expect too much from Ginebra?
Masisisi mo ba ko?
Eh kasi natapos ang eliminations na number 1 tayo.
Eh kasi ang dami naman nating naipanalong close games.
Eh kasi ang ganda ng line up natin eh.
Sabi kasi ng utak ko, tama na obvious naman eh hirap ang Ginebra sa San Mig.
Pero hindi yan kayang tanggapin ng puso ko.
Yun na naman? Puso na naman?
Bakit ba?!?
Mas maraming laban ang naipanalo ng Ginebra gamit yang walang katapusang #PUSO na yan.
Kaya sa lahat ng may puso pa diyan, ito lang masasabi ko:
Kung yung sweep ng Alaska sinikmura nating panoorin. Ultimong nagse-celebrate na sila eh nakatitig ka pa sa tv...
Well... ito pa kaya?
Dahil ako hindi pa ko tapos. Hindi pa ko tapos umasa at sumuporta. Bakit, tapos na ba? Finals na ba ang San Mig? 3-2 pa lang naman sila e.
Ano nga bang sabi sa trivia kanina?
"Most teams who have a 3-2 advantage went on to win the Semis."
This is what I have to say:
Ginebra has overcome more than enough odds in history that other teams can only dream of.
Hindi ko sinasabeng sure na na mananalo sila sa Game 6.
I'm proud of what my Ginebra family has achieved this conference considering, technically, they're a new, fresh team.
Pero hangga't hindi ko pa naririnig ang last buzzer ng 4th quarter ng Game 6, DON'T EVER COUNT US OUT.
Until then, see you in Game 7.

Straight from a Ginebra fan: Dahil Natalo ang Ginebra by Jane Oliveros
Bangungot...
Unti-unti na namang bumabalik sa aking isipan...
Ang pangyayari noong isang taon...
Noong Commissioners' Cup...
Noong na-sweep tayo...
Against Alaska... Against Abueva...
Punyeta naalala ko na naman...
Malapit na eh, ganda na ng ratsada...
Kala ko di hadlang ang Alaska...
Akala ko wala ng epekto yung Abueva...
Yung dila-dila, yung ngisi, yung ngiting aso, yung nang-aasar sa fans, yung kinaiinisan ng fans...
Kala ko wala na...
Eh kagabi bumalik na naman eh leche...
Bakit sa Ginebra pa?
Or should I say...
Bakit ngayon pa Ginebra?
Bakit ngayon pa kayo nagkaganito?
Okay lang sana may ganyang Abueva eh...
O kaya okay lang may ganyang malakas na Alaska...
Kasi akala ko kaya nyo na eh...
Kasi akala ko malakas na kayo...
Kasi bang ganda ng nilalaro nyo nung elims...
Mali ata ako...
Sinampal ako ng katotohanan kagabi...
Di pala kayo malakas, joke lang pala yon...
Gusto nyo ba talaga ng ganito?
Yung nahihirapan pa kayo?
Yung namomroblema yung mga taga-suporta nyo?
Ano pang silbi ng paghihirap nyo nung elimination round kung magpapatalo rin pala kayo?
Paasa naman kayo eh...
Yung mga fans ginagawa na lahat...
Ang tagal na o, 2008 pa kayo nakahimas ng malaking trophy...
Kailan nyo ba susuklian yung mga fans nyo?
Minsan mukha na silang tanga, pero kiber lang...
Ako kinumpleto ko yung simbang gabi para sa inyo...
Baka si koya nag-ipon pa para makanuod ng laban nyo...
Yung estudyante hindi nakakapag-concentrate dahil sa inyo, isasantabi muna ang pag-aaral alang-alang sa inyo...
Kayo? Hanggang saan ba kaya nyong gawin?
Gusto nyo 'Do-or-Die' para mapatunayang 'Never Say Die' team kayo?
Wag na, alam naman na namin yan...
Gusto lang namin maiuwi nyo na yang lintek na tropeyo na yan...
Gusto lang namin sa inyo na babagsak yung mga lobo...
Gusto nyo rin ba yun?
Bakit ba parang hirap na hirap kayo?
Bakit ba parang tamad na tamad kayo?
Nasaan na yung hashtag reclaim the throne nyo?
Inip na inip na ko...
I'm sure inip na inip na rin sila...
Wag nyo na kaming pahirapan...
Wag nyo na kaming paasahin...
Kung gusto nyong manalo patunayan nyo...
Hindi yung puro kayo satsat sa twitter...
Bakit ba ako nagkakaganito?
Bakit ba nagagalit yung ibang fans?
Kasi kagaya nga ng sabi ko kay Miss Stephanie: "Kaya ka nagagalit is because you just want what's best for them'.
Mahal namin kayo...
Ayaw naming mahirapan pa kayo...
Ayaw naming magbakasyon kayo ng maaga...
Habang kaming mga fans ay patuloy na nagdadalamhati...
Isang chance na lang...
Sa Sabado malalaman...
Kung hanggang saan ang mararating nyo...
Pakigalingan naman oh...
Ipanalo nyo naman oh...
Please...

Straight from a Ginebra fan: PAG-"ASA" by Rd MacPain
Pag “ASA”
Credit to PBA FUN
By Rd MacPain
Aking ilalathala ay tungkol sa pag-ASA
Nakita ko sa facebook na aking kinuhanan ng ideya
Tungkol sa mga PBA team na halos lahat ikinatuwa
Isang dahilan din bakit itong tula aking ginawa
Barangay Ginebra, asa kay Japeth
Na kung dumakdak ay napakalupet
Kaya depensa sa kanya ngayon ay napakahigpet
Pero kapag siya’y lumipad huwag kanang lalapet
Petron Blaze naman, asa kay JunMar
Matakot ka na kapag ito ay umandar
Sino mang humarang ay hindi nya kikilingan
Lalo na ngayon dumagdag pa ang kanyang kagalingan
Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, asa kay Yeng
Kilala natin ito sa pagco-coach ay napakagaleng
Kaya kahit kaninong Coach hindi mo maihahambing
Kapag minura ka naman nito ika’y mapapagising
Ito namang TNT, asa sa referee
Minsan talaga ito’y nangyayari
Kapag yan ay nangyari kalaban ay mayayari
Di pa nabanggit dito yung drums na dala nila parati
Barako Bull ito rin ay kasali, asa sa trade ang sa kanila ay masasabi
Kita naman sa players nila beterano ang pinakamarami
Halos lahat ng players ng mga team sila ang umani
Pakikipagpalitan sa ibang team kanilang minamani
Meralco ang isusunod ko base sa nababasa ko
Pag-asa naman kay David na sa score-an ikaw ay bibilib
Kapag kamay ay nagliyab, kalaba’y kakabog na ang mga dibdib
Kahit si Chris Tiu hindi kokontra, masasabi na lang niya i-bilib
SanMig Super Coffee, sa import-laden conference di mo sila maaapi
Kaya makikita mo sa report, sila’y umaasa sa kanilang import
Kaya sa All Filipino sa kanila ganito ang nangyayari
Kaya huling laban nila chismis ito’y bigay “daw” ng may-ari
Ito namang Alaska sa PangaAsar daw sila ay umaasa
Di pa diniresto eh ang tinutukoy naman dito ay si Abueva
Pang-aasar nito sa mga kalaban ay kitang-kita
May isang player pa nga na ang gusto ay halikan na lang siya
Global Port Batang Pier, makikita naman natin kung sino ang kanilang lider
Kaya usapan na dito ay dapat sarado, dahil ang kanilang asa ay kay Sol Mercado
Sa score-an siya ay markadong markado
Itanong pa kay Denise Laurel na nagpapaikot naman ng kanyang mundo
Air21, sa lahat naman ito ang naiiwan
Kaya kung kanino sila umaAsa ay hindi mailarawan
Baka sa elimination sila ang unang mamamaalam
So sa mga players wala kang masisisi kaya walang magdaramdam
Ang tulang ito ay pawang katuwaan, para mga fans kahit papaano ay may mapagkatuwaan
Kaya nga pinagkunan nito pangalan ay PBA FUN
Kaya sana sa atin walang magkagalitan
Dapat at the end of the day tayo pa rin ay magkakaibigan

Itanong pa kay Denise Laurel na nagpapaikot naman ng kanyang mundo
Air21, sa lahat naman ito ang naiiwan
Kaya kung kanino sila umaAsa ay hindi mailarawan
Baka sa elimination sila ang unang mamamaalam
So sa mga players wala kang masisisi kaya walang magdaramdam
Ang tulang ito ay pawang katuwaan, para mga fans kahit papaano ay may mapagkatuwaan
Kaya nga pinagkunan nito pangalan ay PBA FUN
Kaya sana sa atin walang magkagalitan
Dapat at the end of the day tayo pa rin ay magkakaibigan

Ginebra Rap Song: Isang Barangay by Dennis Ramirez and Jheya Diaz
A few of my Twitter followers sent me a link to a rap song entitled "Isang Ginebra" by Mr. Dennis Ramirez and Ms. Jheya Diaz. I'm actually here at MOA Arena right now waiting for the Barangay Ginebra vs. San Mig battle and I was able to listen to the song.
You gotta check it out, guys. Ang galing nito :)
Good job to everyone behind this song! Ang catchy ng melody at Ginebrang Ginebra ang lyrics! Ganito tayo sa Barangay Ginebra. Oozing with creative juices so much that we have our own songs for our favorite team.
Isang Barangay, break it down. :)

VIDEO + MORE: Ginebra Twin Towers on Solar Sports Desk
Many thanks to Solar Sports Desk for uploading the video of the interview and I was also able to embed this here on my blog! Buti nalang din talaga at Solar News Channel is already on free TV, more fans were able to watch the interview.
What is Epistaxis? Ito po yun. Hahaha!
It's great to watch interviews like this, it brings our sports warriors closer to the fans. It's one thing to watch them play on court or in action, and it's a completely different thing to see them laid back and smiling. Watching this interview last night, I can't help but be amazed how my favorite PBA team's towering combo is so soft-spoken and shy off the court both at once.
Patiently waiting for more. :)

BONUS:
If you were able to watch the video interview, then here is the song that you've been looking for. Yes. Let's dance to this. Haha!

Bakit Barangay Ginebra?
I had to answer that question today. One Ginebra fan sent me a few questions regarding my fanaticism for Barangay Ginebra for her thesis (Go ate! Push yan!).
Bakit Barangay Ginebra?
That question is always a puzzle to me. Hindi ko kasi ma-quantify yung pagiging fan ko. The team have already become a part of my lifestyle so much that I always look things the Ginebra way.
Kahit sa mga simpleng bagay lang like kapag ang number ng raffle ticket ko ay 47, sa isip ko "Uy! Mark Caguioa!" Makakita ng plate number na may bahid ng jersey numbers, mapapangiti na ng parang ewan. Sa mga fastfood chains, pag yung nabigay na number sayo pag hinihintay yung order mo, jersey number, ang saya saya, akala mo champion na sila.
Ginebra is my simple joy, pero bittersweet. They will bring me to euphoria in victories as much as they will crush my heart to pieces in defeats. Para sa team, it's their career, but for me, it's life. Ginebra and basketball have already invaded my life in many incomparable ways. This is the only fanaticism that I have that goes way deep inside me. My love for the team and for the game also sparked my passion for sports, something that I am holding on to and nourishing until now.
Ngayon, tuma-tambling ako para sa isang Ginebra Twitter fan account at Facebook page. Online, I post every update I can gather about the team for the fans. It's easier for me kasi fan din ako kaya alam ko kung anong update ang kailangan ko tungkol sa team. Hindi na additional effort ang paghahagilap ng mga articles, updates and all na kailangang i-post kasi kinahanap ko rin naman talaga sila in the first place. Dati habit lang, ngayon di ko na matigilan. Sometimes I wonder what will happen if the day comes when I have to stop doing it. It will be hard, I'm sure, and it will hurt big time because it's always hard to stop doing what you do best. Sana I won't get to experience that pain anytime soon.
Why Barangay Ginebra? Maybe it's for that one reason that the team plays with sheer heart and unbelievable guts and that same reason will make you realize, even if seeing them pay for the first time, that this team is definitely above the rest. This Ginebra magic, I never found this in any other team. Barangay Ginebra is home for me.
Ikaw, kabarangay? Bakit Barangay Ginebra?

All I Want for Christmas is You: Barangay Ginebra version
I just thought about this habang busy tayo sa #GinebraFollow on Twitter, and since may game naman tayo sa Christmas. Hihi.
Sing along nalang. Here's an instrumental version para mas feel na feel.
Mariah Carey version pa para intense! Loljk.
Pagbigyan niyo na ito. Pilitin nalang. Haha!
This is just for fun! Let's win on Christmas day!
All I Want for Christmas is You: Barangay Ginebra version
Edited Lyrics by: Kaye Cabal
(No copyright infringement intended)
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Basta kami'y mananaig
Coaching staff na kay galing
Malupet, can't imagine
Kaya tanging hiling,
Barangay Ginebra, please win!
I don't want a lot for Christmas
Basta may dunk ni Chris Ellis,
Spin ni LA, Mac, at Dylan,
Power move ni Mamaril.
I don't need to hang my medyas
dun sa may bandang bintana
para lang mag-wish kay Santa
na manalo ang Ginebra
Mark and JJ tandem din
Malupit, can't imagine
Kaya tanging hiling
Barangay Ginebra, please win! Baby!
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
For Jens and James, at Faundo.
Bet na bet si JayR Reyes
Lalo na sa energy
I won't even try to blink for
Urbiztondo's goggle three
Cause I want them to win tonight
Holding on sa top so tight
Kaya tanging hiling,
Barangay Ginebra, please win!
Win, baby!
Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And all Ginebra fans
Happy everywhere
And everyone is singing
Feeling champion na rin
Santa, won't you give me the one I really wish?
Please allow our Ginebra to win!
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see our baby
Minion hustling down the floor
Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
With Greg and Japeth din
Barangay Ginebra, please win!
Win, baby!
*** *** ***
Merry Christmas, best-est fans!

POLL: Who should Barangay Ginebra pick in this year's rookie draft?
Last night during the halftime of the Game 1 of the 2013 PBA Governors' Cup Finals, Barangay Ginebra won the jackpot as Air21 Express won the draft lottery with a 2/3 chance of winning over Global Port Batang Pier (pick goes to San Mig Coffee Mixers).
Barangay Ginebra's first pick overall this year will be the first time in 17 years since the team went for Marlou Aquino in 1996.
Barangay Ginebra fans and even some from the team have already expressed interest on having names like Greg Slaughter, Ian Sangalang, and Raymond Almazan on the team.
The 2013 PBA Rookie Draft is set on November 3 at Robinson's Place Ermita.
So, who's your pick? Comments section is open for your thoughts. Cheers!

Sinubok. Pinatatag. TV Eskwela.
Tunay nga na isang biyaya na maituturing,
ang pagiging bahagi nitong gawain na bago sa akin.
TV Eskwela ang kinailangang bigyan ng pansin,
ng mga mag-aaral na may iisa lamang na mithiin.
Marahil ako ay sadya lamang na mapalad,
na maging kaisa sa isa na namang bagong pagtahak.
Katuwang ay labing-isang huwarang kabataan,
at mga guro na kailan man ay hindi kami iniwan.
Ngunit tila tadhana ay mapaglaro lamang na talaga,
nang aming klase ay sinubok ng layo at distansya.
Majayjay, Laguna, lugar na kinailangang paglingkuran,
kaya't kami ay buong tapang na humarap sa laban.
Nagsimula ang pagtahak namin na ito,
sa aming hangad na maging daan ng mabuting pagbabago.
Telebisyon man o radyo ang gamiting instrumento,
Para sa amin, ang mahalaga ay ang kanilang pagkatuto.
Sa hindi inaasahan na pangyayari,
ang aking takot at kaba ay unti-unting napawi.
Mula sa pag-iisip kung magagawa ba talagang ito ay maitawid,
hanggang sa amin na ngang napagtagumpayan, ligaya ang hatid.
Ang hindi ko talaga kailanman malilimutan,
ang maging isa sa naatasang magtungo sa dapat na paroonan.
Malayo man ang Majayjay sa lugar na nakasanayan,
Di naman mapapantayan ang bait ng kanilang mamamayan.
Lubos ang pasasalamat ko sa pakikibahagi at pakikiisa
ng mga mamamayan na aming buong pusong pinaglingkuran.
Wala na yatang mas bubuti pa sa pakiramdam na ito,
na sila ay buo ang suporta at tunay ang nais na matuto.
Batid ko ang hirap ng bawat bahagi ng laban na ito,
dahil hindi talaga biro magpatakbo ng ganitong proyekto.
Marahil ay pagtuunan pa ng mas mahabang oras, siguro,
upang mas maiayos pa ang TV Eskwela nating ito.
Oras at sama-samang pagkilos, aking mungkahi
sa mas lalo pang pagsasaayos at pagpapabuti.
Akin ring napagtanto sa pagtatapos natin sa gawaing ito,
na tila mas nakabuti ang inakala kong dadagdag sa hirap nito.
Kakaunti man ang bilang ng mga taong aking nakatrabaho,
daan naman ito sa dagdag na pagsasaayos ng programang binuo.
Wala sa dami ng gumagawa ang ikauunlad ng programa,
nasa laki ng puso, sipag, at tiyaga.
Tunay nga na isang biyaya na maituturing,
ang pagiging bahagi nitong gawain na naging malapit sa atin.
TV Eskwela na bunga ng bawat paghihirap at tibay ng damdamin,
lubos na nagpapasalamat sa bawat aral na naibahagi sa akin.
Sinubok man,
pinatatag din.

Hoo.Ph: 10 Things I Learned about Derrick Rose during the Adidas DRose Tour
I wrote this for hoo.ph yesterday, September 17, after I was sent to the DRose Tour at Smart Araneta Coliseum, Marriott Hotel, and SM Mall of Asia.
Soooo... I got to see THE Derrick Rose close-up. Well, here's my kuwento. :D
This is the article link, by the way. Thanks again, hoo.ph! Really can't thank you enough!
It has been a surreal two days as hoo.ph sent me to the Adidas DRose World Tour that takes its last stop here in the Philippines.
I had the privilege to see DRose as he graced the Adidas 3×3 Grand Finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last Sunday, September 15. Just when I thought it was all over, there I was yesterday, September 16, at the Marriott Hotel for the DRose Tour press conference and then finally at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium as Rose played a video game against the champion of the NBA 2K13 tournament.
It’s amazing how I didn’t even think about having a chance to get to see Derrick Rose up close but true enough, great things totally happen when you least expect it.
Derrick Rose actually signed a lifetime contract with Adidas worth over $250 Million plus he gets to have his very own logo.
During the press conference at the Marriott Hotel Manila, Rose shared that there’s more than what meets the eye with the Adidas DRose logo. It is very personal as he said that the logo is all about him and his family.
We could actually see the ‘D’ inside some rose petals at first look but a lot of people is missing the ’1′ at the center of it all, which is Rose’s jersey number.
The soft-spoken NBA star also shared about the logo that a rose symbolizes his family name. The three petals symbolize his three brothers and he also mentioned something about the end side of the logo which is his mom.
“Really, it’s all about me and my family,” he added.
Want more? Here’s 10 things I learned about Derrick Rose during the Adidas DRose Tour:
10. He loves Hip-hop.
He was asked countless times about his choice of music, even picking between Rock or Hip-hop. He has been consistent! Well, according to him, “Hiphop is basketball, basketball is hiphop.” Oh! And he listens to Big Sean and J. Cole!
9. He wouldn’t put any NBA names in front of another.
At least for the point guard position, when asked about the best point guards in the league today. He sort of mentioned a few names in the mix while thinking really hard but ultimately said that “every point guard made their mark.” Yeah, including you, D!
8. He thinks you must pick him for your NBA Fantasy Basketball.
He definitely thinks that he should be in your line-up! He also recommends you put Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves on your line-up as well, describing him as “a winner.”
7. Aspiring baller? DRose got two words for you: Dedication and Sacrifice.
At 24, he believes that he have already sacrificed so much. He also thinks that he will never be able to live like a regular 24-year old. How dedicated this NBA superstar is? He shared that he wants to “leave a mark on history, change the world and make a difference.” And he’s totally on the right track.
6. This guy aims nothing but a championship.
If there’s one thing in his entire visit here in the country that leaves a mark on me, it’s most probably the fact that DRose is all out and serious about winning a championship for Chicago Bulls in his return. With blazing fire in his eyes, he declares that the team is getting ready right now and that he probably cares for the championship more than the others. According to him, his goal is “to win a championship and be one of the greatest basketball players ever.”
5. DRose on Gilas Pilipinas for the FIBA World: “I wish them nothing but the best.”
With Gilas Pilipinas qualifying for the FIBA World happening in Spain next year, Rose told that the team must always prepare because the world is watching, and wish them “nothing but the best.”
4. DRose will be honored if given a chance to play for Team USA in FIBA World
Team USA qualifies in the FIBA World as the recent Olympic champions and he will gladly take the duty to play for the country if a spot will be offered to him for the upcoming tournament. When asked on who he wants to pick as his teammates for Team USA, he said “just give me anybody. Right now, I just want to go out there and play basketball.”
3. Best advice he received so far? “Be patient.”
Well, for someone who missed real basketball action since 2012 playoffs due to an ACL injury, I guess there’s no better advice than patience. As they all say, it’s a virtue.
2. He believes that he is 100% ready come next season.
After recovering from his injury, he just wants to be out there and play with his team. He also declares that he knows that he is ”100 percent ready.” When asked about his preparations for his return, he shared that he needs to improve on his confidence while playing. He is also working on extending his range as far as his shooting is concerned.
1. Even the youngest NBA MVP in history knows how to have a good time.
The one and the only Derrick Rose played with NBA 2K13 tournament winner Albert Sarabia, who emerged as the best out of 32 participants for a once in a lifetime gaming experience with the NBA superstar.
Sarabia controlled Oklahoma City Thunder while Rose played with, well, Chicago Bulls in the final 2K13 battle at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium yesterday.
Fans at the Atrium witnessed Rose controlled his 2K13 version who, by the way, exploded for at least 30 points. There were also some pretty cool highlights during the battle that DRose eventually won over Sarabia by just a singe point.
Both guys most certainly enjoyed the battle as much as we enjoyed watching them go for the win.
I really had a great time during the Adidas DRose Tour. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a photo with him but what I was able to experience was already more than I ever imagined. Maybe the photo will have to wait ’till I see him again. Hopefully.
Soooo... I got to see THE Derrick Rose close-up. Well, here's my kuwento. :D
This is the article link, by the way. Thanks again, hoo.ph! Really can't thank you enough!

4. DRose will be honored if given a chance to play for Team USA in FIBA World
Team USA qualifies in the FIBA World as the recent Olympic champions and he will gladly take the duty to play for the country if a spot will be offered to him for the upcoming tournament. When asked on who he wants to pick as his teammates for Team USA, he said “just give me anybody. Right now, I just want to go out there and play basketball.”
3. Best advice he received so far? “Be patient.”
Well, for someone who missed real basketball action since 2012 playoffs due to an ACL injury, I guess there’s no better advice than patience. As they all say, it’s a virtue.
2. He believes that he is 100% ready come next season.
After recovering from his injury, he just wants to be out there and play with his team. He also declares that he knows that he is ”100 percent ready.” When asked about his preparations for his return, he shared that he needs to improve on his confidence while playing. He is also working on extending his range as far as his shooting is concerned.

| DRose with NBA 2K13 tournament champion Albert Sarabia |
The one and the only Derrick Rose played with NBA 2K13 tournament winner Albert Sarabia, who emerged as the best out of 32 participants for a once in a lifetime gaming experience with the NBA superstar.
Sarabia controlled Oklahoma City Thunder while Rose played with, well, Chicago Bulls in the final 2K13 battle at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium yesterday.

Both guys most certainly enjoyed the battle as much as we enjoyed watching them go for the win.
I really had a great time during the Adidas DRose Tour. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a photo with him but what I was able to experience was already more than I ever imagined. Maybe the photo will have to wait ’till I see him again. Hopefully.

Straight from a Ginebra fan: Hanggang kailan ka tatagay para sa nawawalang Barangay? By Carla Cruz
Hanggang kailan ka tatagay para sa nawawalang Barangay?
By Carla Cruz (Follow the writer on Twitter @cruzcarlaWL.)
2-4. 2-4. 2-4.
Sakit sa mata. Nakakapang-init ng ulo. Nakakapanting ng tenga. Wala eh. 2-4 ang standing, tatlong laro na lang ang natitira sa maikling Governor's Cup na tinatahak ngayon ng Brgy. Ginebra. Kahit ako napapatanong. Kaya pa kaya? Kahit ako napapaisip. Aabot pa ba? Aminin mo. Nakakawala ng tiwala.
Gabi ng Manila Clasico. Eto na naman. Ang sakit na naman ng resulta. Ang daming opinyon, kaliwa't kanang spekulasyon, ang ingay ng Barangay sa Twitter, Facebook man o kahit sa mga terminal. Nagpapalitan ng pahayag, nagdadamayan sa isang masaklap na bagay. Ang hindi mawawala, sisihan. Sinisisi si Coach. Sinisisi si Referee. Sinisisi si Point Guard. Sinisisi si Import. Sinisisi kahit yung venue (peace tayo Admin).
Ikaw? Natanong mo na ba sa sarili mo kung wala kang pagkukulang bilang isang Never Say Die fan?
Hindi ko sinasabing sumang-ayon ka sa bawat pahayag na mababasa mo dito. Hindi rin naman kita inaaway dahil magkapatid tayo sa pagmamahal sa Barangay. Pero gaya ko, narinig mo rin ang pag 'BOO' ng tao sa nagiisa nating hari. Ramdam mo ang kawalan ng respeto ng mga taga-suporta ng kabilang grupo sa tinatawag nating Puso ng Ginebra. Napatanong ako. Sabi ko: "Teka. Bakit ganto?"
Nasabi ko na lang na baka naman kasi malapit lang sa camera yung mga nagboboo kaya akala mo malakas. Pero nung tumatagal, sabi ko, "Hindi eh. Parang iba na to ah." Lalong dumadami ang nakikiboo. Nilalamon nila ang ating Hari. Nilalamon ang Barangay ng mga taga Planeta.
Ikaw? Nasaan ka noon? Ako kasi nasa bahay lang. Malayo sa game venue. Nasa arena ka ba? Bakit hindi kita maramdaman? Kagabi kasi, paulit ulit kong tinatanong ang t.v., "Ano ba yan? Wala bang taga-Barangay Ginebra dyan?" Naisip ko. Baka nagpalamon na din ang fans ng Ginebra. Rinig ang dagundong ng pagboo kay Mark. Pinakikiramdaman ko. Walang sumasalo ng mga mapang-asar na panunuya maliban sa isang lalaki na nakauniporme na may numerong Kwarenta'y Syete. Natiis mo ba yun? Siguro may ilan na mas gustong magfocus sa laban. Ilan na apektado pero mas piniling manahimik na lang. Siguro kasi lamang ang kalaban kaya hindi ka makasigaw ng GI-NE-BRA. Siguro kasi kinakabahan ka. Pero isisigaw mo lang ba yan tuwing tayo ang lamang? Para saan pang isinigaw mo yan kung iniiwan na natin ang kalaban? Para sakin kasi dapat isinisigaw din yan kapag nasa bingit ang Barangay. Yung tipong isang maling hakbang, laglag at matinding lagapak ang mararanasan. Isinisigaw yan upang mabuhayan ang ating mga superhero at muling lumaban. Hinahanap ko kagabi yung pangyayari gaya nung FINALS eh. Talo ang Barangay, sweep pa nga daw, pero walang ibang maririnig kundi ang walang kamatayang GI-NE-BRA. Masarap matalo ng ganon. Kagabi? Ramdam ang pagsuko pati ng 6th man. Nakulong ang sigaw na ito sa madilim na silid. Walang nakakarinig.
Kapatid, sa sinasabi kong iyan, ay hindi kita sinisisi. Nabanggit ko lang ang bagay na ito bilang isang bagay na mas mahirap tanggapin kaysa sa mismong pagkatalo. It seemed like no one stood up for MC47. Masakit yung nasabi ko no? Truth hurts, kapatid. Aminin nating may pagkukulang. Masakit. Sobrang sakit.
Ngunit kapatid, hanggang saan ang tagay na kaya mo? Sabi sa kantang pinanghahawakan ko ngayon para sa Barangay Ginebra: "WE SURVIVED THE CRASH, MADE IT THROUGH THE WRECKAGE. STANDING HERE AT LAST, SO PERFECTLY WRITTEN"
Relate? Not yet? Eto pa:
"WE SURVIVED THE STORM, MADE IT THROUGH THE HURRICANE. STANDING HERE AT LAST, DRY DESPITE THE RAIN"
Tama diba? Ilang beses na bang ganito ang unang kabanata ng aklat na ating muling isinusulat? Una pa lang ayaw na umikot ng bola sa ikot na ating itinatakda. Injury pa lang, bugbog na. Pero pinipilit sabayan ng koponan ang alon ng PBA. No matter what kind of storm the world brings to this team, we're still dry despite the rain.
"WHERE WE ARE? IS THIS WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE?"
Yan ang tanong ko sayo ka-Barangay. Ito ba talaga ang tamang posisyon kung nasaan ang Never Say Die? Sana napukaw kita kapatid. We've been all in this together. All we have to do is to get through all of this AGAIN together.
Hanggang saan ka tatagay para sa Barangay? Ang sagot? Ikaw lamang ang nakakaalam. Sana TAGAY HANGGANG SA TAGUMPAY!
Asan na ba ang Barangay?
"WE ARE WHERE NO ONE CAN TEAR US APART! THAT'S WHERE WE ARE!"
