Ay on sa pe ns io n fu nd , napinapatakbo ng pamahalaanpara sa mga manggagawa sapribadong sektor, hinihintay nalang nito ang pormal na pag-apruba ni Pangulong Aquino, na
binanggit ang suporta niya sapanukala sa kanyang State oft h e N a t i o n A d d r e s s n i t o n gLunes.
Sinabi ng Pangulo na kailan-gan ang pagtaas upang matiyakang pagpapatuloy ng SSS fund,na aniya ay posibleng maubos sa28 taon mula ngayon.
S i n a b i n i D i a n a P a r d o -Aguilar, isang commission er ngSSS, sa INQUIRER na ipatutupadn g p e n s i o n f u n d a n g 0 . 6 -

IHAHAIN SA PUBLIC HEARING
P5 itataas sa LRT, MRT pasahe1 and 2 at sa Metro Rail Transit(MRT) Line 3 ng roughly P7 toP10 on the average which willbe split over two years.
It depends on the formulaof how the average is comput-
ed, sabi niya, habang inulitniya na wala pang napiling pet-sa para sa balak na pampubli-kong konsultasyon.
Paliwanag ni Cabrera namatapos ang public hearing,kakailanganin munang ilabas sapahayagan ang fare matrix atsaka lang maipapatupad pakali-pas ng 15 araw.
Malakas pa rin ang pagtutolsa pagtaas kaya bilyun-bilyongpiso sa subsidiya ang patuloy na
ibinubuhos rito.
Ni Miguel R. Camus
MAGSASAGAWA ang Department of Transportationand Communications (DOTC) ng isang pampublikongpagdinig hinggil sa pagtaas ng pasahe na unang iti-
nalaga sa P5 ngayong taon at dadagdagan pa ng P5 ulisa susunod na taon para sa tatlong nakaangat na sis-tema ng tren sa Metro Manila matapos muling isabisang Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) ang isang reso-lusyon nito noon pang 2011 na magtaas ng singil.
We just reconfirmed the de-cision that was made two yearsago because the rate hike wasnot implemented, sabi ni Her-nando Cabrera, board secretaryng LRTA.
Bahagi ang pagtaas ng pasa-he ang plano ng DOTC na
bawasan ang malaking sub-sidiya mula sa mga naluluginglinya ng tren.
Sinabi ni Transportation Sec-retary Joseph Abaya sa pama-magitan ng text message na bal-ak talagang taasan ang pasahesa Light Rail Transit (LRT) Lines
P27-B pork barrel isinama pa rin sa 2014 budgetBUO PA rin ang P27-bilyong porkbarrel sa P2.268-trilyong panu-kalang badyet ng pamahalaang
Aquino para sa 2014.Hindi nagpatinag ang admi-
nistrasyon sa umanoy P10-bil-yong pork barrel scam kaya isi-nama pa rin ang regular na pon-do para sa Priority Development
Assistance Fund (PDAF).Unlike in the past when only
the soft portion was in the bud-get and the hard portion wastucked in in government agen-cies, the new budget proposalshows the whole and completePDAF, ani Budget Secretary Flo-rencio Abad.
Ang proyektong soft ay parasa serbisyong panlipunan. Anghard ay para sa imprastraktura.
The P27-billion PDAF is pro-
vided and that is a speci al lineitem for PDAF on this budget,ani Abad nang ihatid ang pro-grama sa gastusin ng pamaha-laan sa Kapulungan ng mga Ki-natawan noong Martes.
Pero iniisip ng Malacaang nahigpitan ang mga nongovernmentorganizations na tumatanggap ngmga proyekto sa PDAF. CVEsguer-ra, GCCabacungan

Lifestyles of the richand stingy
things I personally desire. Goodthing I have a sweet hubby, whobuys those things for me onspecial occasions. If its a press-ing need, then I buy. Or, if itmarks an important milestone, Ibuy something special with aspecial price tag. Most of thetime, I wait until the item goeson sale. Spending wisely is veryimportant because many peopledont have jobs. Also, I priori-tize my scholars, and familymembers who need help fortheir medical needs. They aremore important to me than ma-terial wealth. Thats not spend-
ing; thats savingsaving lives.Rita AvilaI always buy what I really
need. Occasionally, I buy what Iwant. I compare prices when Igo to the grocery. I buy what Ithink is reasonably priced, qual-ity-wise. In restaurants, I dontmind paying more if the food isgreat. I eat well and exercise toavoid getting sick so I donthave to spend on medication.
As for expensive bags, I think ahundred times until my hus-band buys it for me.
Kim AtienzaI get to scrimp on hair care
because I always wear a hat. Idont need fancy gels and wax-es. I dont even need a brush.
Mas magul o ang buhok ko, masgusto ko. But I never scrimpwhere my family is concerned. Iwant my wife Felicia and ourkids to have the best that lifehas to offer. Spending wiselymeans the biggest allocationsare for important things, suchas a beautiful home and quality
education. After money is setaside for these, then you canspend on luxury.
By Dolly Anne Carvajal
CELEBS lead such charmed lives, you may besurprised to know that most of them have akuripot streak. Just like lesser mortals, their
gross spending doesnt always match their net income.
Take, for instance, this youngTV host/actress who demandsto split the bill every time shedines out with friendsas in,she makes sure everyone pays
the exact same amount. Or, thewife of a seasoned actor whobuys fake branded shirts for herhubbys TV appearances.Theres also this former matineeidol who relies on ex-deals foralmost everythingfrom hotelaccommodations to groceries.
Theres nothing wrong withbeing frugal. After all, its nothow much you earn but howmuch you save. This is especial-ly true in the unpredictable
world of show biz, where youcan be a millionaire today and apauper tomorrow. The trappingsof success can indeed be a trap.It reminds me of a poster whichsays: Money talks! All minesays is goodbye!
Work hard, spend moderate-ly, live easy!
Read on and see how somecelebs scrimp. Why not do thesameso you can stop asking
yourself after each payday,Where did my money go?
Pops FernandezI must say that I always
avoid splurging unnecessarily. I
dont think the term for me iskuripot. Id rather say Im prac-tical. Its hard-earned money; I
want to spend it wisely.Ogie Alcasid
I am kuripot only with my-self. I like showering my lovedones with gifts that they willenjoy. My wife spoils me withnice things. Spending beyondour means would not be wisebecause our families need fi-nancial security. In the end, werealize that our money isnt re-ally ours but was lent to us as ablessing for us to be a blessingto others.
Amy Perez
I dont go for brandnames when it comes to thetoys/gadgets and clothes ofmy kids. They dont mind
we ar in g lo cal br an ds as lo ngas theyre comfortable. Theimportant thing aboutspending wisely is you get tosave for your childrens fu-ture. As a mother, my priori-ties have changed. Before Ibuy something, I ask myselfif I really need it. Anak mu-na bago sarili.

WALA ng problema sa free throws ang De LaSalle University. Sinalpak nina Jeron Teng atNorbert Torres ang lima sa anim free throws
sa huling 41 segundo upang biguin ng Green Archersang Adamson Falcons, 70-67, kagabi sa UAAP mensbasketball tournament sa Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Im still not satisfied withhow we finished the game,sabi ni DLSU coach Juno Sauler
matapos bitawan ng Archersang 15 puntos agwat sa hul-ing limang minuto ng bak-
bakan.We have to learn how
to play for four quarters.We played good for
three quarters, but in the end,we turned the ball over, gavesecond-chance opportunities toour opponents.
Sa unang laro ay kinuha ngUST Tigers ang ikalawangpuwesto na may 4-2 markamatapos talunin ang UP Ma-roons, 79-69. Bagsak sa 0-6ang UP.
DysamHINDI naniniwala ang mgakasamahan niya sa team nagame-fixing ang motibo sapananambang kay LetranKnight Franz Dysam at live-inpartner nitong si Jo-Anne Sor-
dan who died from a single bul-let wound after the shootinglast Saturday night in San Juan.
Mas kapani-paniwala paraw na ang naganap ay isangcrime of passion, sabi ngisang teammate. Si Sordankasi ay dating asawa ng isangpulis na iniwan niya for thecager kung saan nagka-anaksiya ng dalawa. Dalawa dinang anak niya sa pulis.
Hindi daw makalimutan ng
pulis ang ginawa sa kanya ng
dalawa and alam ng team-mate na madalas nitong pag-bantaan si Franz na maghihi-ganti siya.
Si Franz ang talagang targetng gunmen na riding in tandemsa isang motorsiklo.
Anim ang tinamong tama niFranz who luckily survived. Jo-
Ann who tried to shield himfrom the gunshots, was fatally
shot by a single bullet and diedinstantly.
Franz and his family wereon the way to a party to cele-brate our victory over Lyceum
when the trag edy happ ened .
Mabuti na lang walangmasamang nangyari sadalawang anak nila nanakasakay sa likuran ng kot-seng minamaneho ni Franz,isang Nissan Sentra, paglala-had ng cager.
Inoperahan last Monday siFranz to remove four bullets inhis body.
Malabong sindikato angmay pakana ng pananambangdahil hindi naman dominant
player si Franz.

Tailor-fit solutions to enhanceconnectivity in posh villages
Such solutions in-clude the use of out-door distributed an-tenna system (ODAS),
which makes use of aspecialized lamp postsbuilt with radio signal
transmission capabili-ty, as well as the useof cell sites disguisedas palm trees.
The advent ofsmartphone use hassharply increasedbandwidth require-ment in these exclu-sive villages andGlobe Telecom isready to implementsolutions that would
best address connec-tivity concerns inthese exclusive vil-lages, said Em-manuel Estrada,Globe Head of Net-
work TechnologiesStrategy.
Currently, Globeservices are deliveredto subscribers in ex-clusive villagesthrough cell sites lo-cated around the vil-lage perimeter. How-ever, mobile phonesignals coming fromthese cell sites arentsufficient to meet cel-lular coverage re-quirement especiallyindoors in householdssituated farther fromthese facilities.
The growing useof smartphone de-
vices has consequent-
ly led to the need forfaster speed and moreefficient mobile dataservice requiring telcoproviders like Globeto enhance their mo-bile phone coverageand thus the necessityto build cell sites inexclusive villages,Estrada said.
According to Estra-da, the ODAS solution
makes use of fiber-op-
tic cables installed inlamp posts along side-
walks to distribute abase stations signalsto multiple low poweractive antenna sys-tems installed in
nominal locations in-side residential subdi-
visions. This enablesthe delivery of reli-able mobile phoneservice without theneed for gigantic cellphone towers.
On the other hand,the aesthetic tree so-lution, which makesuse of cell sites dis-guised as palm trees,
is another solutionthat the telcoprovider is ready todeploy in exclusive
villages to addressaesthetic concernsover the use of tower-ing cell sites.
Estrada emphasizedthat company effortsto deploy cell sites inexclusive villages is in
step with the compa-nys network and ITtransformation pro-gram, which involvesa complete change-outof equipment.
"We would like toenable all our cus-tomers to enjoy thebenefits of these net-
work advancementsto its full potential,
Estrada said.Estrada further em-
phasized that allegedhealth risks associated
with exposure to radiowaves are unfounded.There is no reason tobelieve that exposureto low level of radiofrequency signals fromcell sites causes adversehealth impact, he said.
GLOBE Telecom is ready to providetailor-fit solutions that would signifi-cantly enhance connectivity in poshvillages amid growing use of band-width-intensive devices.

Its sohumbling tohave that kindof support,
said James.Ive neverexperiencedanything likethat in the USor Canada.There is no
better way thanto play in thecountry I loveand also knowmy roots.
Its now or never for Kenneth Ighalo of MapuaBy Alexx EspongaNOT everyone was born a su-perstar.Oftentimes athletes will haveto go through series of drainingand gruesome sacrifices andbattles just to prove that theyare worthy for the spot each ofthem own in the team.Senior Mapua Institute ofTechnology Cardinal KennethIghalo is one of those boys whohave been through a lot. In his
four years with the team, hehas survived and conqueredmany obstacles that broughthim to where he is today.
Its hard, said Ighalo. But Ihave the will to survive.
And on his last year, I ghalois ready to bring out his all.For this Cardinal, all thelessons he learned in the Na-tional Collegiate Athletic Asso-ciation will be put into execu-tion. It is now or never. TheCardinals are being handled
by PBA legend Atoy Co.The half-Filipino, half-Nigeri-an Ighalo was born in Manilabut he grew up with his Filipinamother in La Union. When hisfather decided to settle down inthe country, they moved toBaguio where he was intro-duced to the sport.
He [Ighalo] shared that heonly started playing basketball
when he was in high school andfrom then on, Kenneth dreamtof becoming a professional bas-
ketball player.Kenneth first tried out hisluck in the University of SantoTomas, then with the Far East-ern University Tamaraws butfate had other plans for him.
Since he always wanted totake up engineering, he walked-in for an open try-outs in one ofthe best engineering schools inthe countryMapua.
It was perfect. Its very im-portant that I finish my stud-ies, Ighalo said.
True enough, Kenneth wasnable to stick to his originalplans but he is thankful thateven in a different way, hisdreams are being fulfilled oneby one.
For Ighalo, life inside thebasketball court is also as diffi-cult when in the classroom.Thats why he is doubling hisefforts not only when in itcomes to mastering his jumpshots but grabbing high gradesin quizzes and exams.
Home is the
journeymanBy Alexx Esponga
AFTER years of searching, James Forrester is final-ly home. Forrester has been in search for almosta decade of finding where he truly belongs. He
has been to the United States of America and Canada but
he felt like there was something more for him.He once tried out for the
Ateneo de Manila University butJames felt he wasnt ready tomake that move yet.
In 2010, the half-Filipino,half-Grenadian Forrester finallytook the risk and ventured his
way to the Philippines to playfor the Arellano UniversityChiefs. After three years, the23-year old Forrester knows heis home.
I plan to stay in the Philip-pines for good even if the[NCAA] season is through, said
veteran Chief Forrester who isalso playing his last year for
AU. I love [AU]. I love thePhilippines. Im happy how ev-erything turned out to be.
Forrester might be leavingthe NCAA but he is fulfilled. Inthe most unexpected of places,he has finally accomplished hislong-time mission.
The 62 Chief shared in anexclusive interview that he con-siders his teammates as hisbrothers. Forrester feels blessedthat even if he doesnt get tosee his family in Pangasinan be-cause of the tight schedule that
AU has, he has his brothers to
back him up.I feel like, as the oldest, I
want to protect them and getthe team ready for next year,James said. I love each and ev-ery one of them. They are spe-cial to me.
James is hoping that theywould be able to garner astrong finish as well as heleaves his team. This will alsohelp him decide his next step
after the NCAA.After the season, Ill decidewhether if Ill enter the PBAdraft, continue with the D-League or pursue my professionas a psychologist, said For-rester who also shared that he
wants to become a teacher.Though their loss to the San
Beda College Red Lions wastough, Forrester knows thatthey will no longer commit thesame mistakes theyve made
and continue to improve on be-coming a better team.We just gave up a little ear-
ly, said a confident Chief. Thefourth quarter is all that mat-ters. We just need to bring it alltogether and refuel our tank ev-ery now and then.
Of course, James is beingpowered by the Blue-and-White
crowd to support him and theteam in every game. Thats whyhe wants to bring the honor notfor himself but the entire Arel-lano community.
Its so humbling to havethat kind of support, said
James. Ive never experiencedanything like that in the US or
Canada. There is no better waythan to play in the country Ilove and also know my roots.
Forrester might be uncertain ofhis future plans but he knows forsure that he will stay in the placehe loves and knows he belongs.

Fast (
really fast!) friends
Collegiate ballers Kiefer Ravena and Baser Amer talk abouthow they stay buddies in a highly competitive court
By Tatin Yang, Contributor
THOUGH Ateneo Blue Eagle Kiefer Ravena and SanBeda Red Lion Baser Amer dont duke it out onthe same basketball league, the two are consid-
ered rivals. Both reign supreme in their respective
courtsRavenas UAAP, Amers NCAAand parallels haveinevitably been made regarding their athletic prowess.
It was during a Nike Elitematch that the two playedagainst each other and discov-ered how equally matchedthey were. Kiefer recalled howhe first came across Basersskills on the court. Nungunang beses ko siya bantayan,may sumisigaw na taga-Davao,Shooter yan, shooter yan!Tapos naka-three point shot
siya . Dun na kami nag kaki lal atalaga, said Kiefer. We had alot of games against each oth-er sobrang competitivenaming dalawa.
The two became fast friends,though their competitive streak
still rears its head often, evenoff the court. Asked if their ri-
valry spills over their privatelives, both answered yes imme-diately. Nag-do-DotA kami sabahay ni Kiefer, said Amer.DotA is Defense of the Ancients,an online multiplayer battlegame. DotA, tapos asaran.
Lokohan. Yung bahay naminparang dorm ng mga players,
explained Kiefer. Lahat wel-come sa kanila, added Baser.
The two even rooted for dif-ferent teams during the NBAplayoffs. Kiefer was cheering forMiami Heat to win, while Baserinsisted the San Antonio Spurs
were going to take the champi-onship.
This year, the two playershave major roles in their respec-tive teams. Kiefer commented onhow the Red Lions is a team to
watch, and admired Basers
playing style, especially his ball-passing skills. Its really hard todefend him at first; even if youstop him, another teammate ofhis will take advantage. Kahitna-stop mo, napasa na niya,
makaka-shoot pa rin yung team-mate niya. Two points, threepoints din yun kahit anong gaw-in mo, Kiefer said. When weasked Baser about Kiefers ownstrengths on the court, helaughed and said, Lahatstrength! Grabe yung confidenceniya, lalo na shooting niya. So-brang hirap bantayan, kailangani-double-team palagi.
On a personal level, Kieferpointed out how reservedBaser is. Mahiy ain siya. So-brang mahiyain. Sometimes he
would tell me things na diniya masabi sa iba, so natutu-lungan ko siya dun. My mom
would also give him advice,ganun , he said.
Though quiet and shy, Baseris a very encouraging friend, ac-cording to Kiefer. We have fun,
were friends on and off thecourt, and its really nice toknow na nag-e-exist yung gani-tong friendship, kahit sa basket-
ball na akala pag magkalaban,magkaaway, Kiefer mused.
The two have actually be-come better friends than rivals,such that playing against eachother now has funny conse-quences. Usually pag
naglalaro kamingdalawa, pangit na yunlaro namin kasinagkukulitan kami!
said Ravena with alaugh.

JERIC Teng: USTneeds his offense.
KIMBERLY DELA CRUZ
Andre Paras: Nowhere to Go but UPBy Patrick Leonard MayoHIS UAAP DEBUT wasnt a stel-lar one. He didnt light up thescoreboard and got a first tasteof defeat at the hands of the
Adamson Falcons. But all isgood for Andre Paras who is op-timistic that things will soonchange for the better for the UPFighting Maroons.
Joining a team that has not
been winning many games overthe past several seasons shouldadd pressure to a rookie whohas a PBA legend and a formerUP star player in Benjie Paras(who led the Fighting Maroonsto the UAAP crown in 1986) fora father. But the 64 forwardout of La Salle Green Hills looksat things from a different per-spective.
Im really not as pressured
as others may think sinceweve got seve ral new guyswho can also help the teamwin by all means , and thereare a lot more games to lookforward too as well. And Imno longer pressured carryingmy last name as my dad alsotold me to not mind the otherpeople and that I am differentfrom him, said the younger
Paras.
On-court and off-courtadjustments
Coming from an exclusive,Catholic all-boys high school toa bigger and more liberal com-munity like UP were one of hisbiggest challenges off the court.Its a huge campus and I stillget lost sometimes, he said.Im taking a car for safety rea-sons but I also ride the Ikot
jeep sometimes.
Despite being one of theyoungest in the team, the 17-year-old forward says his older
teammates made his transitionsmoother as they would go outafter practice like a typicalbarkada would. Inside thebasketball court, he just had toundergo minor adjustments.
"The system here is very sim-ilar to my high schools sinceour coach in La Salle was underthe same coach (Joe Lipa). So
when I got into UP, I just had torefresh my memory and my at-tention is more focused on im-
proving my strength.
Tiger king licks his woundsBy Ruth L. Navarra
TO shoot awkwardly with his left hand is theonly thing that Jeric Teng could do duringpractice last Friday (July 5).
Yet, even something as sim-ple as that takes too much ef-fort for unsatisfactory results.His shot would land short andnot even come close to the rimmaking him shake his head in
frustration.Some of his teammateswould stand next to him andwatch him do it. They wouldpatiently get the ball and waitfor him to try again.
Then coach Pido Jarenciowould shout something at theteam. The break is over. Tenghas to return to his placeatthe sidelines. He would watchhis team prepare for their up-coming opponent without him.
Siyempre ako yung teamcaptain ng team na to. Gustokong makita yung progressnamin, he says when asked
why he still goes to practicesinstead of resting.
Teng is currently nursing aminor anterior labrum tear. Heis out of the team for an indef-inite period of time to recuper-ate. It is a blow to the USTGrowling Tigers.
Akala ng ilan nakuha koyung injury ko sa pagbagsak
ko. Pero wala na akong lakasnun, wala ng strength yung ka-may ko kaya di ko nanaitukod, he says.
His right arm needs to be ina sling to avoid movements.He cant move or raise his arm
without feeling any pain. Heneeds to undergo therapy
thrice a week for two weeks.Rest is the only thing he needsto heal completely.
It could take weeks, monthseven, of rest. Unfortunately, timeis something he does not have.
Baka di ko pa tapusin yungtherapy ko eh maglaro na ako.Its hard to say that I will beback 100 percent, he says.Pagkabalik ko, Ill do what Ican do. Kahit anong role angibigay sa akin ni coach, I willaccept it. Lahat ng ways, tutu-long ako.
To keep in shape, he sayshell be doing the stationarybike until the doctors give himthe go signal to run.
He also is quick to answerwhen asked if he still feels anyanger towards Javillonar.
Right now, wala na. Di kona siya iniisip. Mas focused naako sa recovery ko. Pero inten-tional man or not, sana maii-
wasan talaga mga ganung(pagkakataon) kasi lahat namantayo gustong manalo, he says.
He got injured when Jeof-frey Javillonar pushed himfrom behind during their gameagainst the NU Bulldogs. He
says that his doctors say thathe got the tear from the pushand not the fall.
Meanwhile, Teng is forcedto sit on the bench even duringpractice. The teams fans takethis as an opportunity to havea picture with him.
A number of students actu-
ally risked raising the ire of thestern security guards just sothey could have a moment
with him. If the students getpast the guards, he obligesthem happily.
Student media would alsoask him for interviews. Some in-terviews wouldnt last for morethan five minutes while others
would take more. One of the in-terviewers squeals with delight
as she announces in front of thecamera that, Jeric Teng is singleand available!
The single and availableTeng is determined to returnon the second round of theelimination. He keeps sayingso. Meanwhile, his coach andteam work on adjusting theirgame in his absence.
Nabawasan ako ng leader.Yung leader mabigat yung pagnawalan ka. Pero life must goon. Kung sino ang natira dapat
magstep up sila, says Jarencio.Jeric is confident that his
teammates can get them to theFinal Four. He reminded this
writer that he was gone lastseason for three games and histeam won all three. But that
was a different team. It hadthe leadership of Jeric Fortunato fall back on.
They fared well without himagainst the UE Red Warriors,but they suffered a huge loss
against the FEU Tamaraws.Etong pain, sandali lang
to, he says. Pero ang mgalaro
He stops in mid-sentence ashe looks meaningfully at histeammates. It is obvious thatthe wounded tiger is itching to
wear his jersey once more.

Sewa fierce and meanBy Patrick Leonard Mayo
WITH ALL THE foreign student-athletes invading the UAAP, In-grid Sewa of the Adamson Fal-cons could easily rank at thetop as far as looking fierce andmean go.
Towering at almost 610with a hulking frame to boot,any opponent would thinktwice on putting up a shot or
leaping for a rebound when heson the floor. But his intimidat-ing aura is exactly the opposite
when hes off the court.Sewa learned to play basket-
ball some three years ago andlike Karim Abdul of the USTGrowling Tigers, his first sport
was football, back when he wasstill in his hometown inCameroon.
When I came here, I wasstill learning the game, said
the Hotel and Restaurant Man-agement student.Recruited by veteran coach
Leo Austria, Sewa admits thatplaying in the UAAP isnt walkin the park.
The UAAP is really toughcompetition and I never playedat this level before. And this ismuch tougher than the Filoiltournament,
Having spent almost threeyears in the country, he recallshow hard it was to adjust ini-
tially when stepped foot on thecountry but has slowly settledand got the hang of things.
His daily adjustments werealso helped by the solid supporthe has been getting from the
Adamson community, particu-larly the students who watchtheir games live.
Hearing the crowd chantingand shouting Sewa, Sewa,makes me push harder and
builds up my confidence.But it was also difficult ad-
justing to some of the fans. I geta lot of text messages from sev-eral people and I dont evenknow how they got my num-ber, he said smiling.
His fellow Falcons have alsobacked him up in practices andoff the court, especially powerforward Rodney Brondial whohe considers to be his closestfriend on the team.
His first few games showedmuch promise as he posted dou-ble-doubles in points and re-bounds which gave headaches tohis defenders. In his debutagainst the UP Fighting Maroons,he exploded for 11 points in thethird quarter which gave themenough cushion to cruise for therest of the game.
He also dominated in theirwin against the UE Red War-riors with 15 points and 11boards in 24 minutes of action.

Romeo makes the
heart beat faster
The Tamaraws last victim-ized UST Tigers, 77-67. Romeoscored 19 points as the Tama-raws surged to their sixth
straight victory.It was well known in basket-
ball circles that the Tamarawsfaltered last season because ofRomeos failure to co-exist har-moniusly with fellow guard RRGarcia.
But this season, Romeo, nowa two-time ACCEL 3XVI UAAP
Press Corps Player of the Week,and Garcia are playing likelong-lost brothers and thistranslates to FEUs domination.
Romeo isnt just leading thescoring parade but he is alsosecond in assists in the league
with 4.5 assists per game.Is the MVP award a reality?M priority is to help the
team win the title. Of course, Ilike to be the MVP, Romeo said.

SSC SHARPENING ITS SAW
By Randolph Leongson
AYEAR ago, the people in redand gold of Recto placed alltheir bets on three Kapam-
pangan stalwarts to lead its squadto glory. This year, its a completelydifferent story.
Gone are the days that the famed Pinatubotrio of Calvin Abueva, Ian Sangalang, and
Ronald Pascual led the charge for San Sebas-tian. With ten rookies in tow, coach TopexRobinson puts his chips behind the young andhungry core of the Golden Stags.
Were only formed three months before theseason started, and the players are still tryingto embrace the system and their roles, saidRobinson. The team is trying to sharpen itssaw and were happy with where we are rightnow. Were still improving.
Pressure has been placed on their up-and-coming team, and a part of it is levied on the19-year-old Jaymar Perez.
The 6-foot-1 combo guard has been brandedas The Beast 2.0 with his do-it-all attitudewhenever he steps on the court.
Ang sarap pakinggan na rookie pa lang akopero ganun na yung sinasabi. Nakaka-pressurekasi sobrang bata ko pa pero kino-compare na ko(kay Calvin Abueva), said the Pangasinan-bornPerez. Ginagawa ko lang yung best ko to workhard para magawa yung responsibility na inatassa akin. Para if possible, maabot ko or even maso-brahan ko pa yung ginawa ni Calvin.
The challenge for the Stags is to fight forrelevancy, proving to the crowd that thoughthey might be young, they are no pushovers.
Presently, the Stags sport a respectable 3-2slate.
Though were a bunch of no namers, weretrying to make a name for ourselves, said for-
ward Leodaniel de Vera.Born to a Fil-Spanish father and a Fil-Am
mother in California, the 24-year-old looks tomake the most in his lone playing year in theNCAA, one of those rare one-and-done playersafter serving his term in the San SebastianTeam B for the past few years.
Im going to give my all this year because itmy only year. Why step on the brakes when I
can give it my all?Iniisip ng mga tao na wala na (ang Pinatubo
trio) so were not going to be good anymore. Butwe want to prove a point that even though with-out them, we could still laban pa, the second-
year Business Management sophomore said.He adds, Every game, we always compete.
Were making use with what we have. Whatthey left is a big shoe to fill because theyredominant. Its a lot of pressure but were tryingto be mature and disciplined with it.
Their 6-foot-5 center Bradwyn Guinto adds,We work very hard. Were probably be the
most disciplined team sa NCAA.
Stags believe theres life after Pinatubo trio
