S

A napakaraming taon ko ng pagig-ing broadcaster at manunulat, atpagtanggap ng mga sumbong laban

sa mga pulis, inakala kong narinig ko naang lahat ng klase ng sumbong. Ngunitinaamin ko ngayon na akoy nagkamalidahil may isang sumbong akong natang-gap kamakailan na kakaiba at bukod tangisa lahat.

Ang tinutukoy ko ay ang sumbonglaban kay PO2 Hyrold Pineda Young ngfollow-up section ng Navotas PNP.

Si Young ay isinumbong sa WANTEDSA RADYO (WSR) ng kanyang live-inpartner noong nakaraang Biyernes, Sep-tember 17.

Ayon sa live-in partner ni Young na siGina (hindi tunay na pangalan), madalassiyang binubugbog ni Young. Dagdag pani Gina, kapag nakita na raw ni Young nalupaypay na siya sa sobrang pagkakabug-bog at tadtad na sa pasa, agad raw siyangkinaka-sex nito.

Habang pumapalag si Gina dahil sasobrang pahirap na inabot niya, lalongnagiging agresibo si Young. Sarap na sarapsiyang nakikita na nagdurusa ang kinaka-sex niya lalo pa kapag ito ay pumapalag atnagmamakaawa.

Ngunit noong Huwebes, September16, ng muling mangyari ang nasabingkarahasan kay Gina, hindi na niya pinal-ampas ito at nagsumbong na siya sa WSR

kinabukasan.Nang makaharap ko si Gina, tadtad

ito ng pasa sa kanyang mga braso, dibdib,likod at tiyan. Pulang-pula rin ang kanyangkaliwang mata dahil sa kasusundot.

Naluluha si Gina habang isinasalay-say niya ang kanyang sumbong. Noong

Huwebes ng gabi, pag-uwi ni Young satinutuluyan nilang dalawa, tinawag siyanito at pagkatapos ay pilit na pinaaaminna siya ay gumagamit ng shabu.

Sinabi raw ni Young kay Gina nahuwag itong matakot na aminin na siyaay gumagamit ng droga. Dahil ayon kayYoung, siya rin daw ay gumagamit ngshabu. At wala naman daw masama kunggumagamit si Gina ng shabu bastat huwaglang daw ka-pot session nito ang kanyangtito na si Peping.

Dahil wala namang dapat aminin,

itinanggi ni Gina na siya ay gumagamit ngshabu at ka-relasyon niya si Peping.

Nang tiyempong iyon, animoy nawalana sa sarili si Young at pinagbubugbog

na nito si Gina. Nang makita niyangmistulang gulay na si Gina, agad niyangikina-sex ito. Pilit mang pumalag ni Gina

dahil ayaw niyang makipag-sex kay Young,wala siyang magawa dahil ubos na angkanyang lakas.

Pagkatapos kong mapakinggan angsumbong ni Gina, agad ko namangtinawagan ang Chief of Police ng Navotasna si Col. Bernard Tambaoan. Hindi nanag-aksaya ng panahon si Col. Tambaoanat agad siyang bumuo ng isang team paratugisin ang nooy nagtatago na si Young.Kinabukasan, nang pumunta ang reporterng WSR na si Benjie dela Cruz sa tanggapanni Col. Tambaoan para samahan si Gina,

napag-alaman niyang naaresto na si Youngat nakita pa niya ito habang dinadala sakorte para i-inquest.

Si Young ay masasampahan ng kasngrape at kasong Republic Act 9262violenceagainst women. Ang kasong ito ni Youngay isang non-bailable offense kung kayathindi siya makakapag-piyansa.

isang bagong public service program sa TV5na mapapanood tuwing Linggo, 10:30-11:30p.m. Ang OZT ay isang makabuluhang pro-

grama dahil ito ay nagbibigay ng mga trabahosa mga taong-kanto para sila ay bigyan ngpagkakataong makapag-bago at magingkapaki-pakinabang sa lipunan. Panoorin.

Kung walang assignments kapagweekend, bonding nga ba?

BONDING nga

ba ang pami-lya kapag wa-

lang assignments angmga bata kapag weekend?O kaya naman, sagabal baang assignments kapagweekend kaya nawawalana ang bonding ng pamilya kapag maraming uwing assign-ments ang mga bata?

Ano ba talaga ang pakay ni Secretary Armin Luistro, chair-man ng Department of Education (DepEd) nang i-utos niya nabawal na ang pagbibigay ng mga guro ng assignments kapagBiyernes na gagawin ng mga bata ng Sabado o Linggo?

Hindi malinaw ang paliwanag kaya naging isyu. Umaalmaang ilang guro, napipigil daw ang kalayaan ng mga paaralanna magdisenyo ng mga stratehiya para maabot nila angkanilang layunin sa kanilang curriculum.

Sabi naman ng ibang mga magulang, magulo talaga siSec. Luistro dahil gusto nga niyang dagdagan ng 2 taon angpag-aaral ng mga bata bago magkolehiyo tapos ngayon na-man ay gusto niyang siguraduhin na may bonding ang mgamagulang at kanilang mga anak na estudyante na sa palagayniya ay matutugunan kapag wala nang mga uwing aralinkapag Sabado at Linggo.

Hindi ibig sabihin na kapag may assignment ang anakay wala nang bonding.

Ilang oras ba kasi tuwing weekend ang mauubos paramakagawa ng assignment? At paano naman ang mgamahihirap na mga magulang na kahit Sabado at Linggo aynaghahanapbuhay magkaroon lang ng panggastos sa araw-araw at panustos sa pag-aaral ng kanilang mga anak?

Wala na halos sa bokabularyo nila ang salitang bonding,ang mahalaga ay may magastos at makain. Maraming mgatanong na dapat sinagot muna ng DepEd bago naglabas ngganoong kautusan.

Gaya ng dagdag na dalawang taon sa eskuwela na ayonsa DepEd ay para raw maiangat ang kalidad ng edukasyonsa Pilipinas.

Pero paano ang kalidad ng pagtuturo, ang kakulangan

ng silid- aralan, ang kakulangan ng aklat at, ngayon nga,ang kakulangan ng budget para makamtan ang mataas nakalidad ng edukasyon?

Paano ang mga tanong na ito? May sagot na ba ritosi Sec. Luistro bago niya naisip ang dagdag na dalawangtaon at ngayon nga, ang pagbabawal ng assignments pagweekend?

Meron pa, paano ang problema ng mataas na bilang ngdrop-outs o tumigil sa pag-aaral, ang problema ng mis-matchsa edukasyon na ang ibig sabihin ay marami tayong gradu-ate na walang trabaho dahil hindi rin magkaagapay sa mgabakanteng posisyon.

Kasama kaya ang pagtanggal ng assignments pag week-

end sa mga hakbang ng DepEd patungo sa katuparan ngmga minimithi nating kaunlaran sa Edukasyon? Siyempre,binawi na ng DepEd ang kanilang pahayag na pagbabawal saassignments kapag weekend, friendly advise lang daw yun.Pero mabuti pa ring masagot ng DepEd ang mga tanongnatin ngayong araw na ito.

Mag-text po kayo sa akin tungkol sa usaping ito sa09215186724. O kaya ay email sa: [email protected].

IDINEKLARA kamakalawa ni Speaker Feliciano SonnyBelmonte Jr. na todo-suporta ang Mababang Kapulungan ngKongreso ng Republika ng Pilipinas sa Millennium DevelopmentGoals (MDGs) ng United Nations (UN) para mabawasan ang mala-ganap na kahirapan sa buong daigdig, kabilang na ang Pilipinas,kundi man ito magwakas sa 2015.

Sa kongkreto, ang todo-suportangbinabanggit ni Belmonte, kung hindi akonagkakamali, ay ang papel ng MababangKapulungan sa paggawa ng batas ukol sa pambansang badyet,pag-aaral ng mga batas ukol sa buwis, at paggamit ng mga pon-dong nakalaan sa pagpapaunlad ng ibat lugar sa bansa. Supor-tado naman ito ng ilang mambabatas tulad nina Rep. MannyPacquiao, Rep. Bernadette R. Herrera-Dy, Rep. Fatima Aliah Q.Dimaporo, Rep. Randolph S. Ting, Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. En-verga, tagapangulo ng House Committee on Rural Development,at si Rep. Imelda R. Marcos, ang kasalukuyang tagapangulo ngCommittee on MDGs.

Pangako ni Speaker Sonny Belmonte

ISYU 101Ni Nelson S. Badilla, M.P.A.

Para sa akin, positibo ang desisyon ni Belmonte dahil pag-papakita ito na ang pamunuan ng Mababang Kapulungan ayhandang makapagpasa ng mga batas upang makatulong angPilipinas sa pagsugpo ng kahirapan.

Ang pagdeklara ng suporta ay malaking bagay na dahil nag-bibigay ito ng pag-asa sa mga organisasyon

at sa bawat inibidwal na matagal nang ku-mikilos upang makamit ang tudla ng MDGna matanggal ang kahirapan sa 2015. Pag-

papatunay din ang pangako ni Belmonte na hindi nagpapabayaat natutulog ang lehislatura sa kanyang espisipikong papel atobligasyon laban sa kahirapan.

Dapat ang sumunod sa pangako ay kongkretong hakbangupang mapatunayang totoo ngang magpapasa ng mga bataspabor sa MDG ang Mababang Kapulungan.

Ang pambansang badyet na nabanggit ni Belmonte aymagandang halimbawa upang maipakita ang kanyang pangakopabor sa MDG.

Ang badyet para sa 2011 ay masasabing pabor sa MDG kungmalaki ang pondong ilalaan sa (1) pagpapaunlad ng kanayunan,(2) pagpapatayo ng mga inprastraktura tulad ng mga fy-over namagdurugtong ng kanayunan at kalunsuran, mga tulay, maluluwagna mga kalsada, mga naglalakihang paliparan, (3) pagpapatayo ngmga silid-aralan, (4) pagpapaunlad ng agrikultura upang lumakiang produksiyon nito, (5) pagsisigurong ang pork barrel ng mgamambabatas ay mailalagay lahat sa pagpapaunlad ng kani-kanilangdistrito at hindi sa kani-kanilang bank accounts, (6) malakihangpagkaltas sa bayad sa utang ng Pilipinas sa mga pampinansiyanginstitusyon sa labas at loob ng bansa, (7) malakihang pagkaltas dinsa internal revenue allotment (IRA) na ibinibigay ng pambansapamahalaan sa lokal na mga pamahalaan, at marami pang iba.

Masasabi ring makatutulong ang lehislatura kung magpapasaito ng batas na magtatanggal sa mga indirektang buwis upang

lumaki ang halaga ng pera ng mga mamamayan at palitan ito ngmga batas na magpapalaki ng koleksiyon sa mga direktang buwis.Kung malaki kasi ang halaga ng kanilang piso ay mas marami angkanilang mabibili. At kung malaki naman ang ibinabayad ng mgamamamayan sa direktang buwis ay siguradong mas malaki angmapupunta sa kaban ng pamansang pamahalaan kaysa sa hindidirektang buwis sapagkat hindi naman ipinapasa ng karamihan samga negosyante ang kita sa mga indirektang buwis sa pamahalaan

kundi binabawasan nila upang lumaki ang kanilang tubo.Kung ang mga nabanggit kong ito ay maisasalin bilang mga

batas ay siguradong mababawasan ang bilang ng mga mahihirapsa ating bansa hanggang dumating ang taon ng pagtatapos ng

MDG: taong 2015.Pero kung hindi, sayang ang ipinangako ni Speaker Belmonte.Ano ang dapat gawin para maisakatuparan ang pangako ng

pinuno ng Mababang Kapulungan ng Kongreso?Dapat magkaisa ang mga NGOs at POs at mga indibidwal na

naniniwala sa kawastuhan ng MDG na hikayatin at bantayan angMababang Kapulungan upang mga kasapi nito ay makapagbal-angkas at makapasa ng mga panukalang batas pabor s MDG.

SENATE Pres ident Juan

Ponce Enrile yesterday sought

a Senate inquiry on the allegedanomalies at the Metropolitan

Waterworks and Sewerage Sys-

tem (MWSS).

Enrile said the MWSS se-

cured two loans from the Asian

Development Bank supposedly

for the stud y of the Wawa River

Reactivation Pr oject, to estab-

lish the Wawa River System as

an alternative source of water

supply.However, until now, Enrile

claimed that there have been

no developments on the Wawa

River System.

Enrile specically cited the

Manila North East Water Supply

Project in 1992 an d the Mar ikina

River Water Supply Augmenta-

tion Project in 200 4.

The cost of these loans was

paid for by the governmen t usingtaxpayers money, he said durin g

a privilege speech at th e Senate.

However, he did not state how

much the loans cost.

Enrile said he also wants to

investigate the alleged fast ap-

proval of MWSS' application for

water rights to the Wawa Water

System compared to the slow pro-

cessing of the application of San

Lorenzo Builders, which wouldhave undertaken the project at

no cost to the government.

Enrile also wants to probe

the abuse of discretion alleg-

edly committed by the MWSS

by allowing its concession aires,

the Manila Water Company Inc.

(MWCI), to make an advance

collection of P732 million from

its consumers, supposedly for

the Wawa Dam Project.The advance collections for

the project were already made

even before the MWSS was grant-

ed the necessary water rights and

even though the implementation

of the Wawa Dam project has not

even commenced, he said.

When the p roject was aborted

due to legal problems, he said the

MWCI used the P732-million col-

lection to nance other projects.Enrile alleged that P17 million

are still unaccounted for.

Aside from this, Enrile said

he also wants an investigation

on th e alleged excessive bonuses

and emoluments reportedly be-

ing awarded by the MWSS to its

executives and employees.

JPE wants probe of MW SS project

QC court sentences 2 robber sto life imprisonment

THE Quezon City Regional Trial Court (QCRTC) yesterday sen-

tenced to life imprisonment two robbers who held up and killed a

businessman seven years ago.

In a nine-page decision, QCRTC Branch 81 Presiding Judge Ma.

Theresa Yadao found t he accused, former bara ngay tanod Fran cisco

Pabello and laborer Bobby Sena, guilty beyond reasonable doubt of

the crime of robbery with homicide.

The court also ordered the accused to p ay the heirs of victim Mario

Solomon th e amoun ts of P50,00 0 as indemnity for his death, P52,251.28

as actual damages and P50,000 as moral damages.

Court records showed that the two accused were among the six

men responsible for the slaying of Solomon, owner of Quickx shop,when they held him up on the night of October 30, 2003 while he

and his nephew J aypee were walking home along Aurora Boulevard

in Barangay Doa Im elda, QC. Kim Pascual

MERON din palang ginintuang puso itong

Brazilian-J apan ese model at TV person ality na si

Akihiro Sato d ahil may ma lasakit siya

sa mga batang hindi nakaka-angat sa

buhay.

Nitong nakaraang Lunes ay pinan-

gunahan ni Akihiro ang isang feeding

program sa Tomas Morato Elementa ry

School sa Quezon City.

Alas-kuwatro ng hapon nagsimula

ang naturang charity work ni Akihiro

kung saan nakasama n iya ang business-

woman na si Cristina Decena.Sa ulat din na inilabas ng gmanews.

tv, nakiisa si Decena sa program ang ito ni Akihiro

throu gh her CBC Found ation at n g Rotary Club of

New Manila South n a siya ang nahirang n a presi-

dente. Sumama rin sa charity work ang up-and -

coming Fil-American s inger na si Bernie Ann.

Nagpapasalamat naman si Akihiro dahil may

nakakasam a siya sa kanyang charity work na gina-

gawa niya tuwing sasapit ang kanyan g kaarawan.

Akihiro turned 24 years old last September 12.

I just came back from my vacation in Hong-

kong. That's why I wasn't here on t he exact dateof my birthday. I took a vacation right after the

launch of Survivor Philippines:Celebrity Show-

down, kuwento ni Akihiro sa PEP (Philippine

Entertainment Portal).

Ang tinutukoy ni Akihiro ay ang reality show

ng GMA-7, kung saan isa siya sa celebrity cast-

aways.

Kuwento niya: My doctor said I need to rest

after what happened to me in the

island. I h ad bad allergies and I had

an infected wound on my leg. My

doctor suggested that I don't d o work

for a while until my allergies and

wounds are healed.

I recovered quite fast an d th e

wound on my leg has healed. You

can on ly see scars. My allergies

from the mosquito bites are

okay now.I can go back to work and

do my char ity work as well. I prom ised

this to some people and I n ever break

a promise.

That's why when I returned, I al-

ready asked my manager and th e staff

of Mercator to make arrangements for

my charity work.

Nagpakain si Akihiro sa higit na 100

underweight children sa Tomas Morato El-

emen tary School. Bukod sa pa gkain ay nagbigay

rin ng school supplies si Akihiro para magamitng mga estudyante sa kanilang araw-araw na

pagpasok.

I love doing this kind of charity work es-

pecially to children. I feel good after. Just to

see the smiles on their faces makes me feel

good inside.

THE Belgian Embassy has con-

rmed that the P18.7-billion LagunaLake Rehabilitation Project enjoys aguarantee from Brussels through itsexport credit facility.

In a reply to the letter of thenEnvironment Secretary HoracioRamos dated June 10, 2010, Ambas-sador Christian Meerschman said thatBNPP-Fortis is making available on

ONDD-covered export credit facil-ity the funding for the Laguna LakeRehabilitation Project.

He added that the ONDD or OfceNational du Ducroire is the BelgianPublic Export Agency. The ONDD wasfounded in 1921 by the Belgian State

and is acting as an autonomous gov-ernment institution enjoying BelgianState Guarantee.

This letter superseded a previousletter used by detractors of the project toassert that it has no ofcial support fromthe Belgian government and would notqualify for coverage under the OfcialDevelopment Assistance Act.

We understand this Export Credit

Facility complies with Republic Act8182/Ofcial Development Assistance

Act of 1996 containing a minimumgrant element of 25 percent as denedin the Philippine Act, the Belgianembassy said in response to the al-legations.

Trust, but verify. My husband loves that

quote from Ronald Reagan. During his time in

ofce, the former US President wanted to believe

everything he was told in his political dealings

with others. But since the security of his country

depended on the truth being toldhe strived to

verify everything.

Acts 17:11 tells us that the Bereans had

a similar attitude about knowing the truth.

They received the Word with all readiness,

and searched the Scriptures daily to nd out

whether these things were so. In other words,

the Bereans didnt simply believe what someone

else was telling them. They also veried it on

their ownon a daily basis.

Thats important for us to consider as well.

Whether we receive our Bible teaching through

church, Sunday school, radio, or TVwe need

to test what we hear against Gods inspired

Word (2 Tim. 3:16-17). We are to be diligent

to present [ourselves] approved to God, . . .

rightly dividing the Word of truth (2:15). If

we do this, we wont become prey to those who

teach a different gospel, and those who want

to pervert the gospel of Christ (Gal. 1:6-7)

false teachers who come as wolves in sheeps

clothing (Matt. 7:15).

Remember, trustbut verify!

Protection from false teaching comes

The more we read Gods Word;

For once we know the Scriptures truth,

Whats false will sound absurd. Sper

MANILA Mayor Alfredo Lim yesterdaybecame emotional as he branded as a shotgun

blast the report submitted by the Incident In-vestigation and Review Committee (IIRC).

Lim and Vice Mayor Isko Moreno wereamong the 13 individuals recommended foradministrative proceedings and/or prelimi-nary investigation for possible criminal liabilityarising from the acts or omissions.

Aside from the 13 individuals, the IIRCalso included the top three networks ABS-CBN, GMA-7 and TV-5 in the comprehensivereport.

In a statement, Lim also expressed surprise

as to why his name was included in the saidlist while Senior Police Ofcer 2 Gregorio

Mendoza, who clearly instigated his brother,hostage-taker Capt. Rolando Mendoza, not toyield to authorities, was spared.

Baligtad na ba ang mundo, Lim said,noting how Gregorio laid the groundworkfor his brother to lose his condence inthe negotiators and how he ignited hisbrother by telling him to continue what hewas doing until his (Gregorios) rearm isreturned to him.

The mayor recounted how Gregorio admit-ted before him and the other ofcers present at

the advance command post (ACP) that he hadknowledge of his brothers plans, according

to the statement released to media.Reacting to the portion of the report stat-

ing that Lim should have had his meal at theACP instead of at the Emerald Restaurant,Lim said: Gaano ba kalayo ang Emerald sabus? Eh mas malayo pa ang MPD (ManilaPolice District) headquarters sa UN Avenuekung saan nandoon ang ibang opisyal nggobyerno. There is no abandonment thattook place because all the key ofcials ofthe MPD remained at the ACP.

THE military yesterday justied its ongoing

reconstruction of the runway at the Pagasa Is-

land, part of the disputed Spratly Islands, saying

this is vital in performing administrative runs

for its troops occupying the territory.

Navy spokesman Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo

said the repair and maintenance of the runway

is being undertaken by members of the Phil-

ippine Air Force. Most of the Filipino troops

stationed at the island are from the Navy.

We would like to make it clear that we arenot putting up new structure there. What is

happening there is repair and maintenance of

the runway. The one undertaking that is the Air

Force, Arevalo said in a phone interview.

Earlier reports had it that Chinese ambas-

sador to the Philippines Liu Jianchao had

informed the Department of Foreign Affairs

that the militarys statement last week to

inspect and rehabilitate facilities at Pag-asa

is not a welcome pronouncement.

Jianchao noted that both China and the

Philippines are ironing out the controversial

August 23 hostage-taking incident at theQuirino Grandstand that left eight Hongkong

tourists and the hostage taker, dismissed police

ofcer Rolando Mendoza, dead.

We are doing that because we feel thats

necessary because we have personnel there.

We need that for re-supply and rotation of

personnel. But saying we are putting up new

structure, we are not putting up new structure,

none, added Arevalo.

According to the FOIC (flag-officer-in-

command) said its ongoing, Arevalo added,

referring to Navy chief Rear Adm. Danilo

Cortez. That is what the FOIC said, Air Forceis the one constructing but you can check with

the Air Force, he said. Ronnie Santos

Flu shots can preventheart attack study

BRITISH researchers have found in their newstudy that preventing the u can lower the chancesof heart attacks in some people, suggesting theremay be a link between respiratory infections andheart attacks.

According to Monday's online issue of theCanadian Medical Association Journal, theresearchers, led by Dr. Niroshan Siriwardena ofthe University of Lincoln, with co-authors StellaGwini and Carol Coupland, looked at 78,706patients aged 40 years or older from 379 familypractices in England and Wales.

Of the total respondents, 16,012 already had

a heart attack and 8,472 of the patients had beenvaccinated.

The researchers found that early vaccinationfor u -- between September and mid-November-- was associated with a 21 percent reductionin the rate of heart attacks compared with late

vaccination after mid-November, which was as-sociated with a 12 percent reduction.

Our ndings reinforce current recommenda-tions for annual inuenza vaccination of targetgroups, with a potential added benet for pre-

vention of acute myocardial infarction in those

without established cardiovascular disease, thestudy said.

AS chie trainer Freddie Roach arrives in the country,pound-or-pound king and Sarangani congressman Manny

Pacquiao started his our-week build up program at theElorde gym in Quezon City.

Roach said he was surprised upon learning Pac-quiao started training even the coach did not ask himto do so.

Pacquiao began with an hour-and-a-hal trainingsession highlighted by a seven-round work on the mittsthat pleased Roach.

Roach said Pacquiaos sparmates would be Glen Tapiaand Michael Medina, who saw Pac-mans punching powerwhen he steps into the ring the frst time since March when heaced Joshua Clot-tey at the huge

Dallas Cow-boys Stadiumin Arlington,Texas.

Hes still ar rom being in shape, but thatsokay with me in a frst day o training. Its avery typical opening day o training or Manny,Roach who just arrived in Manila Sunday withTapia and Medina in tow told media men aterthe session.

The timing was not there, but the power in hishands was very evident and so was his speed. But

Pacquiao starts training at Elorde

Ill keep on pushing and pushing him as our game plan is reached, Roach said in an interview by

philboxing.com. Hes very strong as beore.Amazing, Tapia, an up-and-coming Dominican Republic welterweight who is still undeeatedin his initial pro fghts, could only murmur. Hes pretty good, I tell you.

Medina, 24 who at over six-eet resembles Mexican countryman Antonio Margarito, whom Pacquiaowill fght, also in Dallas on November 13, echoed Tapias observation.

This is only his frst day in training and yet he showed power and speed, Medina, a super-wel-terweight, assessed. While I believe I can be o help in his preparations, the beneft would be mutualas Im sure I can learn a lot rom him in pursuing my career.

THE Ph ilippine Basketball Association (PBA)

plans to sit down with the Samahan g Basketbol

ng Pilipinas (SBP) to once again redene the roleof the pro league in the overall program of the

countrys governing b ody for bas ketball.

Newly installed PBA Commissioner Chito

Salud and Chairman Rene Pardo made the

disclosure on Monday at th e closing forum of

the PBA Boards annual planning session in

Bangkok following efforts made by the SBP totap talents from the p ro league in reinforcing

the RP-Smart Gilas national developmental

team to the coming Asian Games in Guang-

zhou, China.

We will try to seek an audience with the

SBP since the (PBA) Board aired its concern

during the meeting over what specic role theleague plays in helping out th e association in its

program , Salud said in a repor t by gmanews.tv.

We certainly want to iron things out.

The request by the SBP to have the ser vices of

Asi Taulava, Kelly Williams and James Yap top ped

While Taulava and Williams were both given

the go-signal to su it up for the Nov. 12-27 Asiad,
