Firearms Dealer/Smuggler, PNP Consultant ng P-Noy Admin?ALAM kaya ni President

Noynoy na isang firearmsdealer/smuggler angnapipintong i-appoint niyabilang isa sa mga matataasniyang opisyal sa DILG? Ayonsa isang A1 source sa kampo niP-Noy, ang nasabing firearmsdealer/smuggler ay uupo bilangUsec. on Public Safety and Peace& Order ng DILG – isangmakapangyarihang posisyon nadirektang nangangasiwa saPNP.

Noong June 22, Martes,bandang 6pm, ayon sa isangCamp Crame source, ipinulongumano ng nasabing firearmsdealer/smuggler ang ilang mgaheneral ng PNP sa tanggapanng Directorate for Operations sakampo crame. Naganap dawang pagpupulong sa conferenceroom ng nasabing tanggapan.

Sa nasabing pagtitipon-tipon,inilatag na raw ng naturangfirearms dealer/smuggler samga heneral ang kanyangmagiging istilo ngpamamalakad. Kasabay noon,inanunsyo na rin niya angkanyang mga napiling PNPofficials na hahawak ng mgasensitibong posisyon. Kasamana rito ang pagtatalaga niya kayGen. Leocadio Santiago Jr. bilangNCRPO Chief. Si Santiago angdating Chief ng PNP SpecialAction Force (SAF). Itinalaga nidating DILG Secretary RonaldoPuno si Santiago sa SAF bagoang May 10 elections.

Bukod kay Santiago, ang ibapang mga heneral na bibigyanng pwesto ng nasabing firearmsdealer/smuggler ay sina RaulLim Castañeda, Perfecto PoncePalad, Francisco DonMontenegro, Reginald Villasantaat Asher Dolina.

Pero alam ba ni P-Noy na siSantiago at ang apat pang mganabanggit na heneral ay mgabata-sarado ni Puno?

Ang limang heneral na ito aymay bansag na Hawaii Five-O.Noong February 18, 2010,bumiyahe patungong Hawaii,USA ang lima paramakipagpulong kay Punoupang pag-usapan diumanoang mga plano at senaryo samagaganap na May elections.

Isa sa mga pinaputok nasenaryo sa kasagsagan ngcampaign period ay angumano’y assasination plot ngisang makapangyarihang grupolaban sa noo’y leading presiden-tial candidate na si Sen. NoynoyAquino. Pinalitaw na siSantiago umano angnakadiskubre sa malagim nabalak ng nasabing grupo atnapigil ng PNP SAF ang

umano’y pagtangka sa buhay ngsenador.

At dahil dito, ang NCRPOChief position ang ginawangbayad-utang ngayon ni P-Noysa kanyang knight in shiningarmour “kuno” na si Santiago.

Bilib nga naman talaga akodito kay Puno, sa lahat ngadministrasyon – mula pa kayFVR hanggang kay GMA – siyaay namayagpag. Wala ngasiyang posisyon ngayon saadminstrasyong P-Noy peronakapwesto at magkakaroon ngpwesto naman ang kanyangmga “die-hard men” sa PNP,nangunguna na rito si PNPChief Gen. Jesus Versoza.

Kung ang inyong SHOOTERang tatanungin, si Puno ayisang brilliant strategist atgenius. Pero kung si Sen. MiriamDefensor-Santiago angtatanungin, si Puno ay isangsimpleng tuso. Si Puno aynapapabalitang miyembro ngMensa, — isang high IQ societyo samahan ng mga henyo. Angheadquarters ng Mensa aynakabase sa United Kingdom.

Kapag hindi naging maingatsi P-Noy, baka isang araw,paggising niya, hindi na siyaang pangulo!

SA gitna ng kasiyahan sa inagurasyon niPangulong Aquino nitong Miyerkoles, inamin ngbagong Presidente na umpisa na ng kanyangkalbaryo. Ayan kasi. Hindi naman kasi siya dapattumakbo. Siya mismo umamin na wala sa hinagapniya na magiging Pangulo siya ng Pilipinas na sakasalukuyan ay lugmok sa napakaramingproblema.

Binuyo lang ngkung sinu-sino sakanyang partido.Marahil sinulsulan ngkanyang mga kaibiganat ng mga taong maypansariling interes nahindi naman kayang tumakbo dahil kung sila hindimananalo.

Itinulak ng mga alipores na nakita angnapakalaking tsansa ni Noynoy na manalo.

Ito na nga ang pabirong sinabi ni Dolphy noonna – Madaling tumakbo, paano kung manalo! Peronandyan na yan. Sige na.

Sabi nga ni PNoy sa kanyang unang talumpatibilang Pangulo ng Pilipinas – ngayon pa ba tayoaatras kung kailan panalo na. Pero tayo rin na bumotosa kanya, dawit dito. Pag pumalpak ang bansa sakabila ng tiwala at pag-asa na binigay ngnapakaraming botante kay Pangulong Aquino saanpa tayo pupulutin.

Ibig sabihin, hindi ang mga nagbuyo at nanulsolkay PNoy ang mahihirapan pag pumalpak siya, mastayo na maliliit. Kung tutuusin kalbaryo nating lahatito.

Ano pa ang magagawa natin kundi tulungan siPangulong Aquino sa kahit papanong paraan bilangmga Pilipino.

Kalbaryo niya, kalbaryo nating lahat. Kahitpapano naman, umpisa pa lang inamin na niyamahihirapan siya kung hindi sya tutulungan ng mgatao, nating lahat na bumoto sa kanya at maging ngmga sulsol na nagbuyo sa kanya para tumakbo.

Maganda naman ang pagtanggap ng marami sasimple pero matatapang na salitang binitiwan niAquino sa kanyang inagurasyon. Naging paboritona nga ang linya nya na – wala nang wangwang,wala nang counter flow, walang tong.

May mga humusga din na sa unang talumpatipa lang, puro daw motherhood statement, ibigsabihin puno ng magagandang salita pero walangklarong direksyon kung paano ipatutupad ang mgaplano.

Pero wala naman sa magandang salita ang lahat,nasa gawa. Hindi man nagustuhan ng ilan angspeech ni PNoy ay bigyan naman natin sya ngpanahon na patunayan kung paano nya matutupadang lahat ng sinabi nya sa Quirino Grandstand noongisang araw.

Siyam na taon din tayong naghintay ngpagbabago, ano ba naman na maghintay pa tayo ngilang buwan para malaman kung saan tayo papuntapagkatapos ng rehimen ni Gloria Arroyo.

At mahiya naman ang mga nagtulak kay Noynoyna tumakbo, kung ang Pangulo mismo maypangambang nagsabi na umpisa na ang kalbaryoniya, magsikap naman kayo na dumampot din ngkahit konting parte ng kalbaryong iyon. Sama-samana tayo sa kalbaryong ito para sama-sama tayo sapangakong tagumpay.

Dear Editor:

Sa Isyu 101 ni Nelson S. Badilla na nalathala saiyong pahayagan noong Hulyo 1, 2010, sinabiniya na ako “ang tagapagtaguyod ng dagdag-buwis na nakapuwesto sa pamahalaan.” Hindi itototoo.

Ang pakay lang namin ay ‘di pababain angbuwis sa lebel na siyang ating nakokolektangayon. Sa kasalukuyan, ang buwis ay kulang nakulang para samga gastusin sa edukasyon,kalusugan at inprastruktura. Alam natin nasiksikan ang mga bata sa mga pampublikongpaaralan.

Mahaba ang pila sa mga pampublikong ospital.At butas-butas ang mga kalye natin na hindimaayos dahil sa kapos ang budget.

Wala kaming balak na pahirapan ang mga taosa pagbabayad ng buwis. Ang gusto lang natin aymaging sapat ang nalilikom na buwis para sapangangailangan ng taumbayan.

Ang problema ay maraming bawas sa buwis nainaprobahan ng nakaraang Kongreso. Angkabuuang bawas sa buwis noong 2009 ay P62billion at sa 2010 ay P40 billion.

Mabuti na lang at tumaas ang efficiency ngpagkolekta ng buwis sa kabuuang amount na P55billion noong nakaraang taon at nakabadyet natumaas uli ngayong taon ng P25 billion.

Sana ay malathala ito sa iyong pahayagan.Salamat.

Noynoy looks into the‘real’ state of the economy

PRESIDENT Benigno AquinoIII and his financial team havespent their first full day in officechecking on the real health of theeconomy in a bid to root out cor-ruption and uplift the conditionof nearly 100 million Filipinos.

The country now reeling froma record budget deficit, the newpresident is accusing the pastpresidency of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of painting a rosy pictureof the economy to mark her legacy.

With Aquino’s order to stampout corruption, Finance SecretaryCesar Purisima promised anunrelenting campaign againsttax evaders, such as the filing ofcharges that will take place in justa matter of days.

Presidential spokesman EdwinLacierda said Aquino wanted tobe able to report the real situa-tion to Congress during his “Stateof the Nation” address on July26, when he will seek fundingsupport for his programs.

The Philippines posted a bud-get deficit of P162.1 billion ($3.5billion) in the first five monthsof the year, and analysts agree itis unlikely the full-year fundinggap would be kept below P300billion.

Aquino has also ordered a re-view of all ongoing governmentprograms and an inventory of allassets to determine which can besold off to support future projects,Purisima told reporters.

Manila Mayor Alfredo S.Lim yesterday called on thecouncilors that comprise thenew city council to take theirnewly-received mandate as achallenge to give their all forthe upliftment of the life oftheir constituents who votedthem into office.

Addressing the city coun-cil at its opening, Lim also

called on the councilors to putan end to political divisivenessand bury the political hatchet,now that elections are over.

Earlier, Lim swore into of-fice Vice Mayor Francisco `IskoMoreno’ Domagoso duringsimple rites held at theBulwagang Antonio Villegasin City Hall.

Moreno ’s wife Dynee was

beside him during the oath-taking which was attended bycity councilors and some de-partment heads where Limonce again declared Morenoas ‘the next mayor of Manila.’

After that, Moreno went onto introduce the members ofthe new council who will alsobe taking their oath before Lim.

JUST two days later after walking out ofMalacanang, charges of Anti-Graft and Cor-rupt Practices Act were filed against formerPresident Goria Macapagal-Arroyo before theDepartment of Justice in connection with heralleged role in the botched NBN-ZTE broad-band deal.

Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño said thestring of cases filed against the new 2nd dis-trict of Pampanga representative was just a“test case” which means more charges willbe filed against her and other personalitiesin other equally controversial scandals thatshook her administration.

Casiño said the cases filed against Arroyowere for violation of Republic Act 3019 orthe Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act,Republic Act 6713 or the Code of Conductand Ethical Standards for Public Officials,and Revised Penal Code (RPC).

The specific charges against the RPC werequalified bribery (for refraining from arrest-ing or prosecuting all those involved in thecorrupt acts arising from or in connection

Graft charges filed against Gloriawith the NBN-ZTE project, in exchange forsome offer, promise or present), for corrup-tion of public officials (as a conspirator inthe endeavors to give bribe), fraud againstthe national treasury (for entering into theNBN-ZTE contract to defraud the govern-ment), for possession of prohibited interestsby a public officer, and for violation of Presi-dential Decree 1829 (1981) Penalizing Ob-struction of Apprehension and Prosecutionof Criminal Offenders.

“This is just one of the many ways in filingcharges against Mrs. Arroyo,” Casino told re-porters in an interview before the cases were filed.

He pointed out that the group opted to filethe case before the DoJ instead of the Om-budsman, saying the group has already lostits confidence in the Ombudsman.

“Wala na kaming tiwala sa Ombudsmanso we went through the noble route (of filingthe cases),” Casino stressed, adding it's upto the DoJ whether to remand the cases againstthe former leader to the Ombudsman.

Bistek takes oath of office before Corona

QC TURNOVER RITESFormer Quezon City Mayor Feliciano Belmonte, Jr., now congressional represen-tative for the city’s fourth district, relinquishes his post as chief city executive for nineyears to new QC Mayor Herbert Bautista during the oath-taking of elected locallofficials at the Quezon Memorial Circle before Chief Justice Renato Corona.Belmonte, who is credited for transforming QC into one of the country’s best finan-cially-managed and most competitive local government units, has pinned his hopeson Bautista, whom he said, has the advantage of youth and energy in propelling thecity to further growth and progress.

QUEZON City Mayor Herbert“Bistek” Bautista and his ViceMayor Joy Belmonte Alimoronggathered anew at the QuezonMemorial Circle, hours after thestreet party of President BenignoAquino III, for the oath-taking cer-emonies before Chief JusticeRenato Corona.

Bautista, Belmonte and othercity’s elective officials includingformer Mayor and now 4th dis-trict Rep. Feliciano “Sonny”Belmonte were sworn into officeby Corona at around 12 noon.

Bautista said he has imple-mented “paperless governance”in the city with the use of com-puterization and automation inall public transactions.

“The use of this technology,

also known as e-governance con-tinues to be the most critical inthe administration of PresidentBenigno C. Aquino III,” hestressed.

Bautista said good governancenot only demands consistent andtransparent application of lawsand procedures, it mandates thatthe records that form the evidencefor every transaction are readilyavailable and accessible to all.

On the other hand, Belmontesaid she will reopen talks of theredistricting of Quezon City,which will have additional fourdistricts in Novaliches.

“Eventually, this will pave theway for the resumption of the is-sue of Novaliches cityhood,”Belmonte added. Kim Pascual

BEING shot during a coup attempt waseasier than singing on stage in front of a hugecrowd, President Benigno Aquino III said injest on Wednesday night after rendering asong at the street party in Quezon MemorialCircle in celebration of his inauguration asthe 15th President of the Republic.

The newly sworn chief executive gave into the request of the people who braved therain just to join him in his post-inauguralconcert and street party.

He performed two songs: Michael Legrand’s“Watch What Happens” and FreddieAquilar’s “Estudyante Blues” -- before an es-timated 120,000 people who cheered for him.

After singings the first song which he cutshort, the crowd demanded for another oneto which the new president gave in.

“Yung talumpati ko ho kanina, hindi kona ho na-practice. Pati ho itong kanta na ‘to,hindi ko na na-practice. Mas madali pa honoong na-coup d’etat ako noong 1987. Perokung pinipilit niyo po talaga ako, pababalikinko po sila (his back-up singers)," he said.

Aquino — who sustained gunshot woundsduring a coup attempt in 1987 to oust hismother, the late President Corazon Aquino— said he performed at the concert anyway,despite not being comfortable with singing,to thank the crowd who braved the rains justto attend the event.

“Para ho sa bayan, bilang pasasalamatsa mga taong pumunta rito kahit maulan paralang makisaya sa ating pagkapanalo," he saidin an interview after his performance.

MMDA confiscates‘wang-wangs’ in metro

TRAFFIC enforcers of the MetropolitanManila Development Authority (MMDA) hasstarted confiscating illegally installed vehiclesirens and blinkers in response to the call ofPresident Benigno Aquino lll to stop thewanton use of such equipment.

Chairman Oscar Inocentes of the MMDAsaid their enforcers were given strict ordersto confiscate “wang-wangs.”

Inocentes said the MMDA would still bemapping-out a coordinated plan with theLand Transportation Office (LTO) regardingthe action.

MMDA Traffic Operations Center direc-tor Angelito Vergel de Dios said MMDA traf-fic enforcers are considered as law enforcersand as such, have the authority to flag downany vehicle using an illegal siren or blinker,and then confiscate the illegal devices.

De Dios also defended the MMDA’s useof blinkers and sirens on its official duty ve-hicles saying the agency is a law enforce-ment unit.

The traffic director recommended thatPresidential Decree 96 or the law prohibit-ing the use of illegal sirens and blinkers beamended to include the official vehicles be-ing used by government agencies such as theMMDA which are involved in either law en-forcement or emergency response functions.

“That law is old. It was passed when theMMDA was still not created. Official MMDAvehicles can be fitted with sirens and blink-ers as these are used for law enforcement andemergency response actions,” De Dios said.

Gazmin recommends David as next AFP chiefDEFENSE Secretary Voltaire Gazmin yes-

terday vouched for the integrity and qualifi-cations of the incoming AFP Chief of StaffLt. Gen. Ricardo David adding that the latter’sappointment should not be thought of as anexample of patronage politics.

Gazmin, a retired Army chief, said David iswell qualified to head the military establish-ment, in place of Lt. Gen. Nestor Ochoa, whoserved as acting AFP chief since March 22 uponthe early retirement of Gen. Delfin Bangit.

“I know him to be very hard working. Hisonly liability is he was a former PSG, I wasformer PSG commander. He is from Tarlac,the President is from Tarlac,” Gazmin toldan ambush interview on his first day of of-fice as the new secretary of the Departmentof National Defense.

The new AFP chief was with the PSG forfive years during the time of Aquino’s mother,the late president Corazon Aquino, whenGazmin was the PSG commander.

The Aquinos are from Tarlac. On the otherhand, the 55-year-old David was born inPampanga but spent most of his childhoodin Tarlac.

“It’s being tied to (some issues) but let uslook at his service reputation and capabil-ity,” Gazmin said, adding being a"kababayan" of the President and his work-ing relationship with David at the PSG werenot the issues considered in his selection asAFP chief but the qualifications.

A member of the Philippine Military Acad-emy class of 1977, David is currently the chiefof the Northern Luzon Command (NLC), apost he assumed in June last year. Prior tothe NLC post, he was commander of the 4thInfantry Division in Cagayan de Oro City.

The defense secretary said he is optimis-tic that he will have a good working rela-tionship with David, whose assumption ofthe top military post will be presided by Presi-dent Aquino in Camp Aguinaldo today. Thiswill be the first time Aquino will go to CampAguinaldo as president.

The Aquino administration still has to fillup a number of high positions in the ArmedForces, currently headed by officers in con-current and acting capacity. They include theposts of the AFP vice chief, AFP deputy chiefand Navy chief. Ronnie Santos

HOPE brightened again for thousands of public schoolteachers after President Benigno Simeon Aquino lll re-cited his simple speech sending the message of a brighterfuture for the entire country and the education sector.

This is the general feeling of the officers and members ofthe Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC), to Noynoy’s simplespeech that brings the message of hope for the entire coun-try in general and the education sector, in particular.

The group expressed hope that the big problem the presi-dent inherited particularly in the education sector will befixed the soonest possible time.

“We give him at least 100 days, after that we could eas-ily see if he is true to his promise or not,” said Benjo Basasa teacher of Caloocan City and the group’s chairman.

Basas said 100 days would be enough to see where thepresident is leading the nation.

Early this month, the group submitted a 10-point pro-posal dubbed as Teachers’ Dignity Agenda comprised ofdoable reform measures to address the education sector’sproblems.

“The president talks about quality of education andthe solution to classroom shortage, and we challenge himto consider our 10-point agenda.” Basas said.

The group said they are one with Aquino in dreamingand hoping for a better Philippines “where everyone cansay that we have traveled far on the right path, and thatwe are able to bequeath a better future to the next genera-tion.” Anthony Muñoz

Noy’s message gives hopeto the education sector

NGO asks Noynoy to prioritizedisaster preparedness

WITH the observation of Di-saster Preparedness month thisJuly, with the rainy season andLa Niña expected until Novem-ber, the Citizens Disaster Re-sponse Center (CRDC) has calledon newly sworn-in PresidentBenigno Aquino III to prioritizedisaster preparedness plan in hisadministration.

CRDC executive directorLourdes Louella Escandor saidAquino should beef up govern-ment’s disaster-preparedness andresponse system before the nextdisaster could hit the country.

“Early preparation is the bestsolution to natural calamities,”she stressed.

Last year, the Philippinestopped the list of countries mostfrequently hit by natural disasters,as revealed by the EmergencyEvents Database (EM-DAT) being

maintained by the Belgium-basedCentre for Research on the Epide-miology of Disasters (CRED).

CRED also ranked the Philip-pines 2nd to China in the top 10list of countries most affected bynatural disasters in 2009 with 13.6million people affected. Ty-phoons “Ondoy” and “Pepeng,”two of the most devastating ty-phoons in the country's history,happened late last year.

Escandor also urged the newadministration to fully implementthe Disaster Risk Reduction andManagement Act of 2010 (RA10121) which was signed into lawby former President GloriaMacapagal Arroyo last May 27.

Under this law, the NationalDisaster Coordinating Councilshall be replaced with the Na-tional Disaster Risk Reductionand Management Council.

Aquino orders non-career appointees to vacate postIN its first hours of gover-

nance, the Aquino adminis-tration took the first step to-wards undoing the so-called“midnight appointments” offormer President GloriaMacapagal-Arroyo by order-ing non-career presidentialappointees to vacate theirposts immediately.

All top government posi-tions now occupied by Ar-royo appointees who are notcareer executive service offic-

ers (CESO) were declared va-cant by Memorandum Circu-lar No. 1, which was signedby Executive SecretaryPaquito Ochoa Jr. in behalfof President Benigno AquinoIII and announced by presi-dential spokesperson EdwinLacierda at a press briefingWednesday.

According to the memo-randum circular, the vacatedpositions will be taken overby the most senior CESO in

each affected agency, whowill act as officer-in-chargeuntil July 31, 2010 or untilreplacement has been ap-pointed.

However, when askedwhether the order coversthose Arroyo-appointed of-ficials tagged as midnight ap-pointments, Lacierda clari-fied: “That is yet to be de-cided. We are tackling thematter and treating that as adifferent issue.”

TO be able to adjust to hisjob as the top official of theland, President BenignoAquino III has changed hissleeping habits or his beinga night owl.

Thus said his spokesper-son Edwin Lacierda sayingsince the campaign period,Aquino learns to sleep andwake up early. However, headmitted that Aquino has notbeen ready to quit smoking.

According to Lacierda, thenew chief executive had notsmoked almost the entire dayof Wednesday where most ofhis time had been taken byhis inauguration related ac-tivities.

He stressed that Aquinohas been trying to quit smok-ing but since it is a stress re-liever, he fails to do so.

Lacierda added thatAquino faced a relativelyearly schedule Thursday,where he met with foreigndignitaries and delegations.

Aquino,no longernight-owl,

Our Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadHans Geiger, Marie Curie, Rudolf Diesel, Samuel

Morse, and Louis Braille share something in com-mon. They all invented or discovered somethingsignificant that bears their name. Their names,along with many others, appear in the “Encyclo-pedia Britannica’s Greatest Inventions,” a list of“325 innovations that have had profound effectson human life.”

We who follow Christ bear His name. In Luke’srecord of the early church, he said: “The discipleswere first called Christians in Antioch” (Acts 11:26).Later, Peter urged the early believers not to beashamed of suffering as “a Christian” (1 Peter4:16). The term Christian, once directed at Jesus’followers in scorn, was embraced by them as abadge of honor, a mark of allegiance to Him.

E. M. Blaiklock, former Chair of Classics at theUniversity of Auckland, wrote that in the first cen-tury the term Christian had “a certain appropriate-ness, for it implied loyalty and acceptance of aperson, and that person, the Messiah (Christ). . .. The true modern use of the word follows thesame tradition. . . . The Christian is one who ac-cepts, with all its implications, the lordship of JesusChrist.”

As followers of Christ today, we gladly bear Hisname as our Savior, Lord, and Friend.

Just what do Christians look like?What sets their lives apart?

They’re ordinary peopleWho love God from the heart. —D. De Haan

San Sebastian faces San Beda in NCAAREIGNING champion San Sebastian and

last year’s runner-up San Beda will seek toride the crest of their rousing opening dayvictories as the two take on Perpetual Helpand Emilio Aguinaldo, respectively, intoday’s resumption of the 86th NCAA bas-ketball tournament at The Arena in San JuanCity.

Drawing strength from the athletic pair ofRonald Pascual and Calvin Abueva in theabsence of Jimbo Aquino, the Stags turnedback the upset-seeking Letran Knights, 59-53, Saturday at the Big Dome that launchedtheir bid for a back-to-back crown.

The Lions, for their part, had a far easiertime in trouncing the Jose Rizal Bombers, 68-52, to set in motion their bid to regain thetitle they lost to the Stags a season ago.

The Altas and the Generals, in contrast,were coming off stinging losses with theformer absorbing a 65-79 defeat at the handsof the Mapua Cardinals and the latter sus-taining a 72-82 setback to the Arellano UChiefs Sunday at The Arena.

Coaches Ato Agustin and Frankie Lim werequick to caution their players not to take theirnext foes lightly.

“I keep telling my players not to take ournext opponent lightly and play with the samefocus and fire as we’ve shown last season,”said Agustin in Filipino.

“We cannot be overconfident,” said Lim.“They just came from a loss and might justbounce back hard. We have to control theirtop performers by limiting their touches.

“We also have to deliver the little thingsthat will likely be the key to winning thisgame, we have to start a string of wins tokeep us rolling,” he added.

Perpetual Help got a reprieve after ArnoldDanganan was spared of a one-game sus-pension for a flagrant foul he committedagainst Mapua’s Andretti Stevens.

Instead, Danganan, a rookie transfereefrom STI who led his team in the third firstgame with 23 points, was issued a sternwarning by league commissioner Aric delRosario that a repeated infraction wouldmean an automatic one-game suspension thenext game.

Chrisper Elopre and Mark Sumera werealso assessed a technical foul apiece in thesame game but also escaped suspension andwould play in their 2 p.m. match.

The world No. 2 Swiss insistedthat he was not in his best form

wanted to play. I am strugglingwith a little bit of a back and legissue. That just doesn't quite al-low me to play the way I wouldlike to play,” said the 28-year-olddefending champion.
