The best things in life are Libre

BATANG BIKTIMA NAKALUBLOB na sa tubig baha, tuloy pa rin sa pag-aaruga si Maria Laboc sa kanyang apong si Arjay na pitong araw pa lang isinilang. Sabado pa nanalanta ang Bagyong Ondoy pero hindi pa rin humhupa ang baha sa bayan nila sa San Pedro, Laguna. INQUIRER WIRES

Bilib siya sa ‘Pinoy spirit’ Saludo ang US Ambassador sa pinakikita ng Pilipino sa gitna ng trahedya Nina Cynthia D. Balana, Philip C. Tubeza at Edson C. Tandoc Jr.

INANGAAN ni US Ambassador Kristie Kenney kahapon ang “Filipino spirit” at ang pagpapakita nito sa gitna ng delubyong dinulot ng Bagyong “Ondoy,” na nagpausbong sa di-mabilang na pagsasalaysay ng pagpapamalas ng kabayanihan, katatagan, at ngayon naman bolunterismo.

“If there’s a bright light in this tragedy, that’s it,” ani Kenney kahapon nang dalawin niya ang isang evacuation center para sa mga biktima ng pagbaha sa Quezon City. “The Filipino spirit to me is the main thing, the spirit of getting back on your feet, of helping others. I think it’s a model for many others in the world,” ani Kenney sa mga reporter sa Diosdado Macapagal Elementary School sa Barangay Tatalon.

“Many in my staff lost everything they own and I have to tell you that they worked all weekend at the embassy to clean it up, like people here (in the evacuation center) dedicating themselves to others,” ani Kenney. Tinuturing niya ang sariling mapalad sapagkat air conditioner lang ng kanyang tanggapan ang nasira. “It left none of us untouched,” aniya. “And some of us who are more fortunate than

others, I think we all know how deeply this has affected so many many people across the Philippines.” Nakiisa ang diplomat sa pagbabangon sa diwa ng mga biktima habang patuloy ang paglabas ng mga pambihirang pagpapamalas ng kabayanihan at katatagan kahapon. Halos 17 oras nakulong si Dr. Erika Logarta-San Jose at 17 iba pa sa loob ng isang gusali sa labas ng Provident Villages sa Marikina City. Nakaagapay sila sa pagsigaw sa rosaryo, at pagsasalo sa basang pandesal. Nagpapatawa na rin ang isa sa kanila upang mapataas ang pag-asa. “It was too much. I don’t know where I was getting my strength. I wouldn’t wish it to

happen even to my worst enemy,” ani San Jose sa INQUIRER kahapon. Sa San Mateo Rizal, lumangoy si Abigael Ornido, 25, nang hindi binibitawan ang 5taong-gulang na anak na lalaki. Niligtas ng kanyang mga kapitbahay ang mga anak niya sa pagsakay sa kanila sa batya habang nilalamon ng putik ang barung-barong nila. Nang kapanayamin kahapon sa isang evacuation center na pinaghihimpilan ng mahigit 100 pamilya, nagagawa pa rin ni Ornido ang magbiro sa kabila ng kamalasang sinapit. Aniya, nakita pa niya ang telebisyon niya noong Linggo, ngunit wala na kahapon. Tiyak na hindi na baha ang kumuha noon, pagbibiro niya.

US may dagdag na tao, tulong, saka chopper MAGPAPADALA ang Estados Unidos ng medical teams at suplay na nagkakahalagang $4 milyon, mga sasakyan at helicopter para sa operasyon ng pagtulong ng Pilipinas sa mga biktima ng pagbaha sa Metro Manila. Ayon kay US Ambassador K r i s t i e K e n n e y, b a h a g i n g pinagsanib na pagsasanay ng militar ang babaguhin at gagawing operasyong pantulong. Ito ang sinabi niya sa mga reporter nang dalawin niya ang Diosdado Macapagal Elementary School sa Barangay Tatalon, Quezon City. “There will be medical teams, equipment to help clear debris, bulldozers, forklifts, and we will have some heavy-lift helicopters so we can help start cleaning up Manila so people can move on with their lives,” dagdag niya. “We’ll take the lead. What we’re trying to do is to put ourselves at the disposal of the [Philippine National] Red Cross so we tell the Red Cross what we have to bring here,” ani Kenney. CD Balana, JR Uy, CO Avendaño

Inutos ni Pangulong Macapagal-Arroyo ang pagbukas ng Palasyo makaraan ang biglaang pagdalaw ng mga evacuee sa Diosdado Macapagal Elementary School sa Barangay Tatalon noong Martes ng gabi. Hinimok niya sila na lisanin ang siksikang evacuation center at sumilong sa Malacañang.

We adjust as we go along.” Noong Lunes, hinayag ng mga opisyal na magiging evacuation center ang Malacañang. Ngunit nabigla ang pamahalaan sa mahabang pila ng mga evacuee kinabukasan, kaya sinabing gagamitin lang ang Palasyo bilang lugar ng pagrerepack ng relief goods na ipamamahagi sa mga evacuation center.

Cristine Reyes rediscovers God By Dolly Ann Carvajal

C

RISTINE Reyes is thankful that she’s safe and sound after being trapped on the roof of her house for 12 hours due to Typhoon “Ondoy.”

“Akala ko talaga katapusan ko na,” she gasped. “I never prayed so hard in my entire life. Dasal ako ng dasal na sana tumigil na ang bagyo at may mag-rescue sa amin. Thank you to my brothers who saved my pamangkins and to Richard Gutierrez who risked his life to save me. “Na-realize ko na bale wala mga material things. It’s just our relationship with God that matters in the end. Second life ko na ito. So gagawin ko lahat to be better. Ngayon ligtas na ko, punta ko sa relatives ko para magbigay ng tulong.” The No. 1 in FHM’s sexiest women list now puts the Lord as numero uno in her life. And so should we all, with or without a raging storm.

Clueless Gabby

Gabby Concepcion is clueless about the real score between his daughter KC and Piolo Pascual. “I don’t ask her because I don’t want her to think nakikialam ako,” he says. “I’ll just wait for her to tell me.” Is he in favor of Piolo for KC? “Oo naman. Mabait at palasimba.” Has KC introduced him to PJ? “Yup. Natawa ako kasi sabi ni Piolo, ‘Hi Sir.’ Lumingon ako. Akala ko nandun si Gabby Lopez (laughs).” Gabs may be a lot older than Piolo but in the good looks department, they are equal in pogi points.

No kids yet

Diether Ocampo laughs off rumors that his fab GF Rima is pregnant. “The time will come for that,” Diet clarifies. “Imagine how adorable our kids will be.

She has met my son Dream. It’s a cool sight to see them together. No names for our future kids yet. The wedding should come first.” For now, Diet and Rima are each other’s babies.

‘Starstruck’ auditions

I immensely enjoyed watching the auditions of GMA 7’s phenomenal artista search, StarStruck V, in my “second home,” Iloilo. Thousands of aspirants trooped to SM Iloilo to make pabiti (Ilonggo for show off) their stuff. The artista wannabes gave their all in singing, dancing and acting. They also gamely answered questions of the strict auditions’ master. One applicant even flew from

Canada to try his luck in the Iloilo leg of the screening. Other contenders who caught my attention were a single mother, a tomboy and a finalist in another reality show. There was also a guy who had two red hearts painted on his cheeks to cover scars from an earlier suicide attempt—when he tried to iron his face. Even for just a fleeting moment, the Ilonggos/Ilonggas felt what it was like to have a few seconds of fame while onstage as their kababayans cheered them on. StarStruck V will be hosted by Carla Abellana, Raymond Gutierrez and Dingdong Dantes. Will the new Kapuso Starstruck winner come from Iloilo, the heart of the Philippines? As we say in Ilonggo—Damgo, Pati, Luwas (Dream, Believe, Survive)!

War-freak ‘Bro’

Could it be true that the actor who portrays Bro in May Bukas Pa got enraged when the staff of a telecoms company where he was supposed to pay his bills didn’t recognize him and gave him the runaround? The buzz is that he brought Santino along the next time he went to the telecoms office to prove that he’s part of the show since his face is hardly shown in his scenes. Perhaps he should internalize his role as Bro even off-cam so that he would be less of a warfreak.

ATENEO HINDI UURUNGAN NG UE

Sa pula, sa asul SUMAKAY pa kayo kay Rabeh Al-Hussaini.

NCAA kasali sa ‘fund drive’ MASIGASIG na lalahok ang National Collegiate Athletic Association sa mga fund-raising drive para sa mga biktima ni ‘‘Ondoy.” Inihayag kahapon ni NCAA president Fr. Mat de Jesus, OSB, at management committee chairman Jose Mari Lacson na lalahok ang liga sa isang araw na palaro Lunes sa Araneta Coliseum laban sa mga kinatawan mula sa UAAP, Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, Philippine Basketball League at PBA na naghahangad na makalikom ng pera para sa mga sinalanta ng bagyo. Ganunpaman, bago ang ‘‘charity games” nagbigay ka agad ng 10 sakong bigas ang NCAA sa ABS-CBN Foundation, ayon kay Lacson. ‘‘The NCAA joins the nation in

the recovery of the damages caused by Tropical Storm “Ondoy.” The league, with the Policy Board leadership together with the Management Committee, reschedules the games of the second round to allow member schools to participate in joining relief efforts for the victims of ‘Ondoy.’ Games will resume on Oct. 2,” pahayag ng liga. ‘‘The NCAA will be joining the fund raising activities of the SBP, together with the UAAP, for the benefit of typhoon victims,” sabi ni Fr. De Jesus. Umapela rin ang NCAA sa kanilang mga tagasubaybay at alumni. “The NCAA enjoins the fans and alumni to support this endeavour by watching the Araneta Coliseum game and by bringing used rubber shoes, sneakers or slippers.”

Kenyan favored in Smart-Subic Int’l Marathon KENYAN runner Nelson Kirwarotich leads the foreign charge when he defends his title in the 2nd Smart Subic International Marathon that starts at the Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway and ends at Remy Field on Oct. 24 and 25 in Subic Bay, Olongapo City. Rotich, who clocked 2 hours, 27 minutes and 11 seconds to nip Filipino Eduardo Buenavista (2:27:56) for the title last year, headlines a field expected to reach 10,000 that will negotiate a scenic route that will pass through Floridablanca, Pampanga. Speaking at the PSA Forum on Tuesday, Subic marathon founder Gen. Sam Tucay (ret.) and race organizer Adi delos Reyes said that at least 30 Kenyan runners have confirmed their participation in the event, along with a slew of participants from the United States, Australia and China.

ALAWANG beses nilang ginapi ang University of the East sa eliminasyon, ngunit hindi minamaliit ni Ateneo Blue Eagles coach Norman Black ang bangis ng Red Warriors sa simula ngayon ng UAAP title series. “We have beaten UE twice during the elimination round, so we definitely have the psychological advantage,” sabi ni Ateneo coach Norman Black. “But of course, it will be a different story in the Finals. They’re a veteran crew so we’re expecting a tough Game 1.” Bagamat matagal ang pahinga, nananatiling paborito ang Eagles sa simula ng best-of-three series sa Araneta Coliseum. Minaliit ni Black at UE mentor Lawrence Chongson ang mga usapin na ‘‘kinalawang” na ang kanilang mga koponan dahil humaba ang serye matapos na hindi matuloy ang Game One noong nakaraang Linggo dahil kay ‘‘Ondoy.” “We’re going into the game with a lot of confidence, we’re going there to win,” diin ni Black. “As a coach personally, it’s all for my players. I’ve had my successes as a player already, I’ve had a lot of successes as a coach. But every time you coach a group of guys who believe in what you’re trying to execute, then you want to win with them.” Huling lumaro ang Ateneo noong Setyembre 20 na kung

saan ay dinispatsa nila ang University of Santo Tomas sa Final Four, 81-64. Puntirya ng Ateneo na makuha ang back-to-back na huli nitong nakamit 1987-1988. Baguhan sa liga si Chongson, ngunit naniniwala ang UE coach na armado ang Warriors na baliin ang pakpak ng Eagles. Nais ng UE na tapusin na ang 24-taon paghihintay sa titulo. “We know they are tipped to win, but this is a chance of a lifetime so we can’t be contented of just making it to the Finals,” wika ni Chongson. Mahirap ang dinaanan ng Warriors na binasura ang twiceto-beat advantage ng FEU Tamaraws sa Final Four upang marating ang serye. “Hopefully we can negate all of Ateneo’s advantages,” ani Chongson. “But whatever success UE has now, 65 percent of it is because of our PBL stint. It helped us toughen up.” Huling nagharap noong 1987 Finals ang Ateneo at UE na kung saan ay nagwagi ang una. Magiging matindi ang match-up nina Ateneo slotman Rabeh Al-Hussaini at UE big man Pari Llagas.

Magpapasiklaban rin sina UE point-guard Paul Lee at Eric Salamat na dating magkasangga sa hayskul. Labanan rin sa depensa sina Elmer Espiritu at Nonoy baclao. “Our plan strictly revolves around our defensive game,” ani Black. “We make stops, then we run and when we have our half court set, we’ll try to get the ball down to Rabeh. Our game plan is pretty much set now.” “Most of the UE players are good on one-on-one offensive players,” dagdag ni Ateneo assistant Sandy Arespacochaga added. “There’s Pari Llagas on the post and Paul Lee from the perimeter. They have other players who know their roles. Elmer Espiritu can play inside and outside and Val Acuña is a very tall three-point shooter. So our individual defense is what coach Norman is focusing on.” Sasandal si Chongson sa freewheeling offense ng Warriors na nagpalitaw sa laro ni Lee sa semifinals. “I like our system now, kasi lumalabas laro ko,” sabi ni Lee na may 21.5 puntos average sa semifinals. “Coach just lets me do what I want.” “It will still be a team effort,” sabi ni Chongson. “Definitely we need everybody to step up. If you’d noticed, we have different starters every game simply because we want to be unpredictable. The bench will also play a crucial role.”
