CEBU City—The premier Philippine Airlines (PAL) Interclub Golf offering is on and the nation’s sporting attention has shifted to the tournament’s Men’s Regular’s 72nd edition in this Queen City of the South.
TRAFFIC snarls have also started to bedevil Davao City, according to my good friend Ken Angeles, the jolly, humble and proud owner of Yellow Fin Tuna Restaurant near Eco Land not far from Matina.
SOUTH Korea had just done us good. By beating Lebanon, it shoved us beautifully back to the Fiba World Cup.
I HAD the distinction of being invited by Visor last weekend to judge a superbly presented array of ideas designed for either an article production or a social-media/video presentation—with motoring, of course, as the main theme.
WHAT strikes many in the heating-up political fever that is the chase for Senate slots is the major role that Manny Pacquiao plays in the circus that comes to town once in three years.
THEY recently closed two southbound lanes of Edsa, and you don’t need to be a Nobel Prize winner to know what happened next. Of course, a gridlock of gargantuan proportions!
THE papers came out with a story just the other day about two former volleyball officials allegedly embezzling (read: stealing) some P6.4 million in association funds.
IF there is one January party worth talking about in the automotive world, it is none other than the annual Toyota thanksgiving party. It is one bash that is not to be missed by anyone with the right mind from the motoring media.
GOLF took the spotlight globally last weekend—both for reasons weird and spectacular.
IF there is really anyone from the Philippine automotive world who has been living virtually in a suitcase all this time, Vince Socco fits that to a tee. In runaway fashion.
IT was unbelievable tennis that Novak Djokovic had dished out in routing Rafael Nadal, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3, to win the Australian Open on Sunday in Melbourne.
I WILL never forget that night, the 14th of January 2009. It was a night when the sky was bathed in light by twinkling stars.
VETERAN judge Dave Moretti and I had identical scores in the recent Pacquiao-Broner fight.
FROM last week’s Magnificent 7 to this week’s Divine 10—that’s what I have for you today. If you think you’ve had your share of expert opinions from the so-called industry captains the last time out, think again. For, there’s more incisive insight coming your way in the year of the Earth Pig from the latest batch of automotive oracles. Here:
NOT a single soul was surprised. I refer, of course, to the nosedive of vehicle sales in 2018. Even before 2017 could say goodbye, sales predictions for the year just ended were one and the same: the motoring industry would absorb sales blows left and right.
AS usual, every time Manny Pacquiao has a fight coming up, friends of mine come to me and ask the same question: “Will he win?”
WHY do I also love to write about airports, seaports, river docks, bridges and, yes, roads/expressways aside from cars and other motor-powered carriers like ships and airplanes—not to exclude calesas and other animal-driven vehicles—that transport not only people but goods, as well?
I MISSED practically all of the parties this year, but it’s all right. In spirit, I was present in all of the events. I’m sure the car moguls knew that by heart. They can forgive, as they are aware—most of them, anyways—that I was in Baguio for virtually half the month of December, the season for merrymaking.
WHAT a sad Christmas, I surmise, for Joaquin Montes, the convicted bully by both public trial and his school’s jury.
CALAUAG, Quezon—I left Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, with my beloved, the writer-journalist Sol F. Juvida (she always deserves mention because of the many impossible things she does, and she still keeps on doing, for me), last weekend for deep down South.
YOU have Paul Lee in your team, you are championship material.
I dropped by at the BMW Motorrad event in San Fernando, Pampanga, last weekend on my way up to Baguio for the second and final week of the Fil-Am Golf Invitational.
IT is weird but it keeps happening.
KENNON Road is still close to vehicular traffic. Jake P. Ayson and I had to pass through Marcos Highway, a longer route going up Baguio City from Manila, last week.
BAGUIO CITY—The 69th edition of the world-famous Fil-Am Golf Invitational is on at its traditional venues, the Baguio Country Club (BCC) and Camp John Hay (CJH), here.
THEY just buried the mortal remains of an industry pillar, Dr. George S.K. Ty. He was 86 years old. My family’s humble salutations.
BRIGHT Akhuetie was only good for six points in Game One, but his last basket of the game shone brightest as it gave the University of the Philippiines (UP) a 73-71 heart-stopping victory over Adamson University in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Final Four series.
RECENT police data show that at least 2,400 were killed in road-vehicle crashes in 2017. What a waste. Shockingly, most of the accidents were the result of faulty overtaking.
MY column here on November 7, centering mainly on Secretary Simplicio Taguiam, drew a quick reaction from my bosom buddy, Atty. Louie Sison. Here:
