Philippines athletes rise above adversity and bias in 27th SEA Games -Myanmar

Boxer Nesthy Petecio won only a silver medal in the just-ended 27th Southeast Asian Games. A victim of a hometown decision, Petecio defiantly showed off her biceps in front of the celebrating Myanmar opponent 

 

Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar — Boxer Nesthy Petecio won only a silver medal in the just-ended 27th Southeast Asian Games, but left a lasting imprint that best exemplifies the indomitable Filipino spirit.

 

A victim of a hometown decision, Petecio defiantly showed off her biceps in front of the celebrating Myanmar opponent and a raucous, partisan crowd during the boxing finals.

 

It was the image that will be best remembered long after the last athlete had left the capital city of Myanmar.

 

The Philippines ended the Games with 29 golds, 34 silvers and 38 bronzes for seventh place, its worst finish since making its debut in 1977.

 

The 208-man delegation, however, just took part in 167 of 460 events, winning 101 medals.

 

Thailand retained the overall title with 107 golds, 94 silvers and 81 bronzes.

 

Host Myanmar placed second with an 84-62-85 tally followed by Vietnam 73-85-86, Indonesia 65-84-109, Malaysia 43-38-77 and Singapore 34-29-45.

 

The country's last medal was earned by the sepak takraw troika of Jason Huerte, Rheyjey Ortouste and Emmanuel Escote who bowed to Laos in the semifinals of the men's double regu event Sunday.

 

After coming home with only two golds in Palembang, Indonesia two years ago, the athletics team redeemed itself with six golds, four silvers and three bronzes to emerge as the country's top performer.

 

Of the six winners, three are rookies, namely: 400-meter hurdles champion Eric Shawn Cray, steeplechaser Christopher Ulboc and decathlete Jesson Ramil Cid. The other gold winners are long jumper Henry Dagmil, 400-meter runner Archand Christian Bagsit and the 4 x 400-meter relay squad composed of Isidro del Prado Jr., Julius Nierras, Edgardo Alejan Jr. and Bagsit.

 

Taekwondo, a traditional source of medals, bagged four golds, four silvers and seven bronzes.

Rookies Jade Zafra and Kristopher Robert Uy, Kirstie Elaine Alora and the men's poomsae squad of Vidal Marvin Gabriel, Dustin Jacob Mella and Raphael Enrio Mella accounted for the golds.

 

Boxing, hurt by questionable decisions, came through with three golds courtesy of Josie Gabuco, Mark Anthony Barriga and Mario Fernandez aside from four silvers and three bronzes.

 

Wushu was also impressive with three golds through Daniel Parantac, Jessie Aligaga and Dembert Arcita. It also accounted for three silvers and two bronzes.

 

Billiards, cycling, golf and judo each won two golds while karate, basketball, rowing, archery and muay contributed one gold each.

 

Golfer Princess Superal and runner Bagsit are the only athletes to win two gold medals.

 

The youngest gold medallist is 15-year-old Mia Legaspi, a member of the women's golf team.

 

Of the 26 sports it participated, the Philippines did not win medals in badminton, equestrian and women's football.  - Rey Bancod / Tempo

Binay's parking arrogance "I owned Makati" hit to a Jew Tourist kicking an Israel National out of the Philippines

 

"Rebuilding for a Better Philippines" team highly commend the Inquirer news for these series of info leaks that shaken the rotten political system of the Philippines.

 

The recent Pork barrel fund scam was firstly leaked by the Inquirer news that shaken the Congress and Senate office for their involvement in the Multibillion corruption through Pork barrel scam that  changed the view of the people and empower the people to fight for this malignant corruption virus in the Philippine Government.

 

This week, binay's arrogance controversy is another achievement of the most trusted news network in the Philippines; the Inquirer.net

 

This is a very sensitive issue and very disgusting that our very respected government servant is bossing  himself as  the owner of the people and not a servant of the people.

 

 "Don't you know me? I own this city." this is the same question raised by this arrogant junjun binay at the Rockwell Mall basement parking early this year to a Jew visitor whose car got ahead of his car in an empty parking slot.  The Israeli left the country months later.

 

The binay's arrogance in Makati is not an attitude that we must be proud of because this is not an attitude of a public servant. Where this family came from? Better to deport them from which continent they are originated.. they are not Ita's family and they are not Filipino lumad.. maybe they came from the desert territory of Safari. .  

 

INQUIRER: The Binays of Makati

 

A mango tree doesn't bear a santol fruit.

 

Let's not be surprised that Makati City Mayor Junjun Binay and his sister, Sen. Nancy Binay, acted the way they did when they were prevented by guards at the posh Dasmariñas Village from using a gate of the subdivision.

 

In 1986 when their father, Jejomar Binay, was still officer in charge of Makati, he ordered the closure of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) clubhouse for refusing to let his children use the club's swimming pool because they were not accompanied by a member.

 

I was a witness to the elder Binay's abusive behavior. I couldn't use the club gym at that time because of the closure.

The three guards who didn't raise the gate's barrier to allow the Binays' convoy to pass through were arrested by Makati policemen and detained for four hours. The Binay camp, however, said the guards voluntarily went to police headquarters.

 

The two children of Vice President Binay, Jun and Nancy, said the report on the incident was blown out of proportion by the Inquirer.

 

This, despite a 24-minute video of the incident.

 

The Binays not only want to show who's the boss; they're also not truthful.

 

* * *

The Binays, the epitome of a political dynasty, think they own Makati City because of their power and influence.

 

The father is vice president of the Republic; and the children are senator, mayor and congresswoman.

 

The mother used to be mayor who temporarily manned the fort for her husband when his three consecutive terms expired.

 

If you go around the city, you'll find the letter "B"—with a tail—painted on walls in public places.

 

The "B" sign, which looks like a brand on cattle, stands for Binay, of course.

Mayor Junjun goes around with a convoy of police bodyguards apparently to show that he's the city's boss.

 

The incident at the Dasmariñas Village was not the first time the mayor bared his fangs.

 

In the Dasmariñas incident, Junjun Binay was quoted by a source as saying to the guards, "Kilala ba ninyo ako? (Do you know me)?"

 

In another incident that took place at Rockwell Mall basement parking early this year, the younger Binay allegedly figured in an altercation with an Israeli whose car got ahead of his car in an empty parking slot.

 

During a heated exchange of words between Binay and the Israeli, the mayor allegedly blurted out to the foreigner, "Don't you know me? I own this city."

The Israeli left the country months later.

The shooting at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport's Terminal 3, which killed a town mayor and several others, was an incident waiting to happen.

 

Angel Honrado, Manila International Airport Authority general manager, doesn't allow members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to keep the peace at the airport complex, which is their mandate.

 

Instead, Honrado has ordered the airport police, who are glorified security guards, to patrol the airport premises.

 

The airport police are not only as inefficient as Honrado, they're also a bunch of goofs. - published in INQUIRER.NET
