SURPRISED that NCR (National Capital Region) won the Palarong Pambansa again?
THE Vios Cup is on, and motor sports fans will lap it up anew today and tomorrow (April 28 and 29) as they watch another unique edition of the annual car races at Clark International Speedway in Angeles, Pampanga.
JEFF HORN was barely 12 years old when Manny Pacquiao turned boxing professional 21 years ago.
SMARTING from a threat that may see three vehicle models possibly getting extinct next year, the industry is even getting stronger and stronger overall.
THE man in the mirror turns a new leaf today.
AS Masters champ, Sergio Garcia has dumped the coarsest cloak of irony.
WE made it back to back. Meaning, as in last year’s edition, we also did our Kabig (Kapalohan Bisita Iglesia Group) ritual this year in just one province: Batangas. Last year it was Pampanga.
IN sports, we have both the developmental program, and the promotional thrust.
I have to give it to Peugeot. Last year it hosted a tennis tournament that is open to all, including our nationally ranked players. A huge success, the winners were brought to the 2016 French Open at the famed Roland Garros clay courts in Paris. So magical was the winners’ ringside experience in Peugeot’s initial foray at developmental tennis that it became a clubhouse talk long after it is over. I can only raise a glass to Peugeot.
JAKE P. AYSON says he feels honored again to be invited to play in the Chairman Kap Golf Invitational next month. Not every Tom, Dick & Harry gets that coveted distinction.
THE fabled Vios Cup is coming back this year loaded with impact-laden newbies. For example, it will be star-studded all the more, what with the addition of celebrities Gretchen Ho, Dominique Roque, Ella Cruz and Aubrey Miles. They will be joining resident celebs Jericho Rosales, Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Fabio Ide, among several screen stars who regularly race in what is widely considered now as the No. 1 motorsports event in the country.
“IN Cordillera today, many sons and daughters of farmers are taking up degrees in law, engineering, medicine and other related courses.”
THE bad news is, the plan on the excise-tax increase on vehicles is alive and kicking. Pushed to the hilt by several lawmakers upon the urgings of government factotums led by Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III; sigh, sigh.
ONLY four men have won the Grand Slam in the 42-year history of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
WHEN I stepped into the hallowed grounds of Manila Golf Club (MGC) inside plush Forbes Park in Makati City a while back, I immediately noticed the big change. The country’s premiere club now boasts of a locker room exclusively for its guests. What an innovation. It can only mean that, while members value their privacy—just right, they also give importance on their guests’ own privacy. A glass to that.
WHERE is Game Seven that almost everybody was talking about? Or wanted to happen?
BOYET Lim, the president of Toyota Davao, had just succeeded Dagupan City’s Rene So as president of Toyota Dealers Association (TDA). The following is Boyet’s acceptance speech:
FIRST, Marcio Lassiter was ejected for taunting. This, after firing 21 triple-riddled points—most of them unloaded in the third quarter when San Miguel Beer (SMB) razed a 26-point margin by Barangay Ginebra.
JUST Monday last, it took me almost three hours to reach Saint Peter’s Parish on Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, from Ayala Avenue, Makati City. That’s a distance of not more than 23 kilometers. Good thing my Innova was ’matic.
WHILE the Philippine Airlines (PAL) Interclub Golf Championship tees off on Wednesday in Davao City, in grand fashion I must say–the event essentially grabbing most of the sporting spotlight in the next two weeks or so—sharing center stage will definitely be the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup Finals beginning on Friday.
OUR motorists and commuters alike will have to wait a little longer before the common train station at Edsa-North Avenue, Quezon City, could even start construction.
IN a week’s time, the nation’s senior golfers will grab the spotlight anew as they battle it out again in the Philippine Airlines (PAL) Seniors Interclub.
HAVE I not said here a thousand and one times that I have a book of speeches of American presidents, from George Washington to Bill Clinton? I just love reading the book each time allows—on the beach or under a shade, sipping lemonade, if not wine (if budget permits).
TOO bad that it had to happen. Again.
DO we want our car buffs happy? Of course, the answer is yes. But how come our lawmakers, if not our government leaders, are the first to seemingly make life hard for the motoring man? For, suddenly, they appear bent on making it difficult for our auto lovers to own a first-ever car?
IS Serena Williams 35 years old? And is Roger Federer 35 years old, too?
ALWAYS, Manny Pacquiao manages to grab headlines—or take center stage on matters both important and unimportant.
INFRASTRUCTURE, I’ve been saying here all this time, is a key component that could tremendously help ease traffic in the metropolis. Add to that the distinctive dimension that infra projects can provide countless comfort on passengers, both on land and air. Well, include sea travel, as well.
A FRIEND of mine has been a Camry owner for the longest time. When I told him recently that Camry is the most consistent choice of the sophisticated and discerning car folk hereabouts, he showed a prompt, proud smile.
MANNY Pacquiao fighting in the Philippines is long overdue—if not too late the hero?
