Rugby starsturn up heat
It was also a celebration
of their outstanding win inthe Asian 5 Nations Division1 Championship, whichbrings them one step closerin their quest to qualify forthe 2015 Rugby World Cupin England.
Our new sports heroes aremovie-star material. Shouldthey decide to join show biz,the Rugby Boys need not
worry about the usual sexu-al-preference rumors thatmost actors have to endure,
since these guys simply oozewith testosterone from headto toe!
Got to chat with two ofthe Volcanoes hotties, JakeLatts and Joseph Matthews.Overwhelming charm in-deed!
Would you say that theVolcanoes are more popularnow than the Azkals?
Jake Latts: Theres no ri-valry between us and there
shouldnt be. We both play
for the Philippines.
Joseph Matthews: Nocompetition. We wish eachother well. Their victoriesand our victories are for allthe Filipinos who support us.
Would you go into showbusiness if a good offercame along?
JL: Id rather concentrateon rugby. I cant serve twomasters. One would sufferbecause I cannot divide mytime or attention. Doing adsand posing for billboards are
as show biz as it gets for me.JM: As long as it does not
get in the way of mysportbut rugby will alwaysbe my priority.
How do you deal withdiscrimination by your de-tractors who pick on yousince youre not 100 per-cent Filipino?
JL: We cant choose ourparents. Most of us on theteam are half-Filipino. That
doesnt make us less Filipino,
even if we dont speak Taga-log fluently. We play rugby
with our hearts for Filipinos.JM: People judge us be-
cause our skin is a different
color. But we have Filipinoblood. I hope they give us asporting chance. After all, wegive every game our bestshot to foster Filipino pride.
How Filipino are you?JL: Im friendly and I have
a ready smile for everyone. Ihave an affinity for thePhilippines even if Im basedin Australia. But rugby is abig sport there so I get totrain more when Im in Aus-
tralia.JM: Im amazed at howsupportive Filipino fans are.They bring us food and giftsand they make us feel idol-ized. In Australia, its more ofstatistics. Filipinos are closeto my heart. Like them, I
work hard but I also knowhow to have fun!
After yo ur win againstSri Lanka, dont you feelthe pressure to outdo your-
self with every game?JL: Thats part of thepackage. We have to step upto the challenge.
JM: Pressure is good. Itmakes us perform better.
Is there unspoken rivalrywithin the team?
JL: None at all. Our broth-erhood is beyond rugby. Be-ing half-Filipino we all havea common bond.
JM: Were one big happyfamily. Its no big deal who is
more popular. At the end ofthe day, we are one solidteam.
How are your love lives?JL: Im single. I just split
up with my Italian girlfriend.Im open to dating Filipinogirls. But I wouldnt datesomeone whod be jealous ofmy sport. For me to fall forher, she should love not onlyme but also what I do.
JM: Im happily married.
My wife is my No. 1 fan!

THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2012 7FEATURESSurprise call raises questions
years of absolutely nocommunication, I sud-denly hear his voice
on the other end ofthe line. It was crazy,Joe. He called to in-form me that hes suf-fering from infectionsdue to diabetes, and tomake the picture moretragic, he also has aheart disease. After hisand hellos he blurtedit out. He is badly inneed of an organdonor for his kidneys.
Now this is whereit gets crazier, Joeheexplained to me that Iam the perfect matchfor an organ donor;his siblings are too oldand his children withthe rich woman aretoo young. HonestlyJoe, at first I felt asudden rush of glad-ness. I thought, this isit! He deserves every-thing thats happeningto him right now. But,after realizing that hegave life to me, I feltguilty and I felt so
worried. I just brokeinto tears.
The next day hecalled up again. Hetold me that he doesntneed my kidney. Hesaid that he would justlike to take this oppor-tunity so I could mi-grate to the US. I willact as a compatible or-gan donor on my waythere for the opera-tions. He assured methat he could easilybuy a kidney else-
where.Joe Im scared. I
told this to my family
and friends and theysaid to me that itcould be a possibleset-up. One of myfriends told me thatmy dad would bringme there for the realpurpose of gettingone of my kidneys. It
would be pretty easyfor them, Joe. When Iget there, they couldlock me up. And
knowing Im not fa-miliar with the place,or even anyone there,I would have
nowhere to go.Im really scared
Joe. I have alwayswanted to go to theUS and look for green-er pastures. But whatif my friends are right?
Im so confused. Itisnt easy to give up akidney for someone
who has turned hisback on my mom andI. I dont know what todo. My ambition tellsme to go fulfill mydreams of earning dol-lars and just give oneof my kidneys away,knowing I still have a
spare. But my familyand friends are tellingme otherwise. Whatshould I do, Joe?
Sincerely yours,Ferdie
FERDIE,I honestly think thatthis should just be anissue of whether youare willing to give upone of your kidneys sothat your father couldhave a chance at lifeagain and not an es-cape to go to the US.You simply have to ask
yourself if you are will-ing to sacrifice for yourdad. If you are not,then you should noteven think of goingthere pretending to bean organ donor.
I know how inviting
Dear Joe,Please call me Ferdie. Im a call centeragent crawling every night to make aliving. I have been in this industry forthree years now, and still not happywith what Im doing.
First of all,Im gay, Imold, and Imstill loveless.But its notabout gay re-lationshipsthat Im writ-ing about. Its
about my dad.Joe, for the past
24 years, I grew upwithout a dad. He leftme and my mom fora rich woman in theUnited States. For allI know, his familycould have urged himto leave us for thereason that my momdoesnt come from aprominent family.
Through the years,I have learned to livewithout him. I workedhard to be able to get
myself to school and
support my family. De-spite the absence of acollege diploma, I wasstill able to land a jobas a call center freak.Really, Joe, Im proudof my job. Its the fruitof all the hard work I
went through just tohave a job, its justthat I want to explorefurther.
One day, I was do-
ing my daily routineswhen suddenly myphone rang. Joe, it
was my dad. After 24

life abroad can some-times be but you havemade it this far with-out any help from yourdad. I dont see anyreason why you should
stop pursuing yourdreams on your own.You should be givingup your organ because
you want to and notbecause it will be yourticket to a life in theUS. Remember, gettingthere is one thing andbeing able to live thereand work is another.
The only reasonyou should donate
your organ is becauseyou love your fatherand you want him tolive longer. Dont do it
because you wantsomething in return.Remember, not all whotry their luck abroadbecome successful.Those who truly suc-ceed are those who be-lieve in their dreamsand those who believein themselves regard-less of who they areand where they are. If
you really want to goto the US then yourticket isnt your fatherbut your own will anddetermination.
Forgive your dadfor his actions in the
past. This will helpyou find closure. Pur-sue your dreams andnever give up.

Bible notbasketball
for PacmanBy Roy LuarcaBAGUIO CityThe word of Godis now Manny Pacquiaos solepassion.
The eight-division world box-ing champion has given up bas-ketball in the course of his high-altitude training here, turninginstead to Bible reading andpreaching for motivation.
It (Bible reading) is morerelaxing, Pacquiao told Manila-based sportswriters yesterday athis suite at the Cooyesan Hotel.
You eat to feed your body,you read the Bible to feed yoursoul, said Pacquiao, addingthat he reads the scripturesthree times a day even as hetrains for his showdown withunbeaten Timothy Bradley on
june 9.Pacquiaos lifestyle change
and dropping of basketball have
made chief trainer FreddieRoachs job a lot easier. Now, hedoesnt have to worry aboutManny sustaining an injury
while playing basketball.In their previous training
camps here, Pacquiao broughtalong his MP GenSan Warriorsand even sponsored mini cagetournaments here.
Roach also suspects that Pac-quiaos love for basketball is thereason why the Sarangani rep-
resentative suffered fromcramps in his last few fights.According to Pacquiao, he feels
blessed and closer to God nowthat hes studying the Bible.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao dis-closed that his right shoulder
was aching during his sparringwith Russians Ruslan Provod-nikov and Rustam Nugaev onTuesday, prompting him to usehis left hand most of the time.
Team Pacquiao will go downto Manila today after anothersparring session at the Shape Upgym of the Cooyeesan Hotel here.
Pacquiao, who did his morn-ing run at the Teachers Camppremises yesterday, will train athis MP Towers gym on Fridayand Saturday, before taking theevening flight to Los Angeles.
There, his training will hitfull throttle at Roachs WildCard gym. Team Pacquiao willhead for Las Vegas on June 4,
wrapping up Pacquiaos eight-
week p reparation for Bradley.
