AGHAYAG kahapon si Pangulong Aquino ng P10-milyong pabuya sa ikaaaresto ni Janet Lim-Napoles, ang umanoy utak sa P10-bilyong pork barrel scam.
Were reasonably confident were close to catching her, anang Pangulo sa mga reporter. Hinayag ng Pangulo ang pinakamalaking pabuya para sa isang pugante habang sinasabi na prayoridad ng pamahalaan na mahuli si Napoles. First of all, the arrest warrant should be served so that Ms Napoles could be brought into government custody and face the charges against her, aniya sa radyo dzRB.
Ayon sa isang ulat sa telebisyon, sinabi umano ng abogado ni Napoles na si Lorna Kapunan na nagpahayag na ng pagsuko ang pugante kay Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle. Itinanggi ng tagapagsalita ng kardinal na nakausap ni Tagle si Napoles o si Kapunan. Hindi sumagot si Kapunan sa mga tanong ng INQUIRER kung totoo ang balita.
Sa pagtugis kay Napoles at ang kapatid na si Reynald Lim, nakarating na ang mga ahente ng pamahalaan sa mga pulo malapit sa Mindanao at Indonesia, kung saan maaring dumaan ang mga pugante sakay ng mga yate ni Napoles. Nawala ang magkapatid bago maihatid ang warrant laban sa kanila noong Agosto 14 kaugnay sa umanoy pagdukot sa pinsan nilang si Benhur Luy.
Ibinulgar ni Luy at ng ibang dating tauhan ni Napoles kung paano nila umano naibulsa ang may P10 bilyong pork barrel ng mga mambabatas gamit ang mga pekeng foundation. Samantala, lumutang kahapon ang ika-10 whistle-blower at ikinanta ang isang nakatataas na tauhan ni Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile sa anomalyang pakana umano ni Napoles. Jocelyn R. Uy, Gil C. Cabacungan

HABANG hinahalughog ng mga tauhan ng pamahalaan ang Pilipinas at ibang bansa para kay Janet LimNapoles, malalaking isda na ang hinuhuli ng corruption busters ng Indonesia at marami pa ang isusunod.
Dinakip nito lang Agosto ng Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK), o Corruption Eradication Commission, ng Indonesia ang isang dating opisyal na tumanggap ng suhol na $700,000 (P29 milyon) na 0.3 porsyento ng pork barrel na ibinulsa umano ni Napoles. Sinimulan na ring usigin ng KPK ang dalawang mataas na politiko sa Indonesia dahil sa katiwalian. We determined that the two heads of big political parties are suspects. Maybe later they will be in our detention center, because that is in the pipeline. They are awaiting to go to jail, ani KPK Vice Chair at
Commissioner Adnan Pandu Praja. Kilala ang KPK sa kahanga-hangang rekord laban sa katiwalian: 322 high-profile na kaso sa nakalipas na 10 taon kung saan 169 ang nakasuhan sa hukumanlahat ay nahatulan. Nabawi nila ang $80 milyon (P3.3 bilyon) sa nakaw na yaman. Dahil dito, isa ang KPK sa limang ginawaran ngayong taon ng prestihiyosong Ramon Magsaysay Award. Nilikha ng batas noong 2002 matapos
ang matinding kampanya ng civil society groups at mga pandaigdigang samahan, nangunguna ngayon ang KPK sa pagsulong ng reporma gamit ang mga kapangyarihang bigay dito: imbestigasyon, pag-usig at paghadlang sa katiwalian. Maaring maihambing ang kapangyarihan ng KPK sa pinagsamang kapangyarihan ng Commission on Audit, Office of the Ombudsman, Sandiganbayan, Philippine National Police at National Bureau of Investigation.

AWAWANG mga nilalang ang mga assistant at staff ng studio na ito. Kung anu-anong paraan ang kanilang ginawa para lang matiyak na hindi magkakasalubong sina Glamorous Celebrity at Pretty Starlet.
Nagkaroon kasi ng matinding away sina GC at PS dahil lang sa Two-timing Boyfriend. Habang nakapag-move on na si TB, determinado pa rin sina GC at PS na manatiling magkagalit-akahit ano pa man ang press release ng mga kampo nila. Nitong huli silang nagkaharap, muntik nang magkasunog sa tindi ng kiskisan nilang dalawa. Sa isang sosyal na club, binulungan daw diumano ng isang kaibigan kay GC na kapapasok lang ni PS. Walang kaabog-abog na sinabi daw ni GS: Oh, Minnie Mouse is here!

Na-trauma si Acclaimed Star kay Flamboyant Insider, na kilalal sa pag-astang akala mo kung sino. Isang power-tripper si FI na hindi nag-aatubiling haiyain ang mga beterano sa set. Pero hindi nakakatikim ng pampublikong panlalait itong si Talentless Personality mula kay FI. Ito ba ay dahil malapit si TP sa mga panginoong may studio?
Aminin man ni HH o hindi, nakatipid siya nang malaki (lalo na sa bayad sa hotel) dahil sa pagmamalasakit ng mga Pinoy na ito. Ilang taon ang nagdaan at hindi na maalala ni HH ang kanilang mga pangalan. Ang masama pa, hinid man lang siya dumaan saglit sa mga dating kumupkop sa kanya nang bumisita siya sa bansa ng mga dati niyang host kamakailan. Malilimutin much!
Heartbreak hunk
Nasagap mula sa programang "Kliq Showbiz ng Radyo Inquirer (dzIQ 990 AM, Lunes hanggang Biyernes, 3 hanggang 5 p.m.): Napagalitan si Hunky Actor dahil hindi nito pinapasin ang mga anunsiyo sa publiko ni Actress Girlfriend. Sinusundan lag ba ni HA ang utos ni Powerful Insider? Sa wakas, nagising din itong si AG, nagsawa na at nakipaghiwalayan kay HA. Nakatagpo raw ng bagong mamahalin si AG sa katauhan ni Gorgeous Actor (ana kalilipat lang sa studio ni HA). Si HA naman ang nabagabag nang mabalitaan niyang ang daling nakabawi ni AG. Humingi raw si HA na isang bakasyon upang maka-recover sa heartbreak.
Amnesia boy
Tinamaan ng amnesia si Handsome Hunk. Isang pamilyang Pilipino ang minsa'y nagbukas ng pinto at maluwag na tinanggap si HH, sa kanilang tahanan na noon ay namamasyal sa ibang bansa.
Nakatikim din si Funny Girl mula sa mga Overseas Filipino Workers. Naging tradisyon na kasi sa mga OFWs na magpose kasama si FG para souvenir na litrato matapos ang show. Napansin ng mga OFW na mabait at sweet itong si FG kung ang photo-op a paghihingi ng otograp ay may kaakibat na regalo. Kung walang dala ang mga OFW, hindi feeling close si FG at mainipin. Sabi tuloy ng isang Feisty Pinoy at diniretso talaga sa mukha ni FG: Huwag kang magmadali Di andami na naming biniigay na regalo say o nung last time? Tameme si FG. *** Alden Richards' traumatic habagat: Yung mga gamit namin talagang nagmamadali naming iangat kasi umabot hanggang tuhod 'yung tubig sa sala ayoko nang maulit.

ALIK ang tunay porma ng Ateneo at pinakahuling biktima ng kampeong Blue Eagles ang lider Far Eastern University Tamaraws, 92-73, kahapon sa UAAP mens basketball tournament sa Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Ito ang ika-limang sunod na tagumpay ng Blue Eagles na mabagal ang simula sa liga bago bumawi. Nagtulungan sina Juami Tiongson at Kiefer Ravena upang iwanan ng milya-milya ng Eagles ang Tamaraws sa simula ng labanan. Abante ang Ateneo, 51-28 sa halftime. Dahil sa sorpresang tambak ay gumanda ang kartada ng Ateneo sa 6-4 kasama ang karibal De La Salle University. The kind of winning mentality that Ateneo had in previous years is coming into play now, sabi ni Ateneo coach Bo Perasol. I believe thats whats happening, and of course, theres our emphasis on making stops. Sinimulan ng Eagles ang kampanya na may 0-3 marka. Sa ikalawang laro, pinutol ng University of Santo Tomas ang three-game losing streak matapos talunin ang Adamson, 80-67. May 19 puntos, 12 rebounds at apat blocks si Karim Abdul samantalang sinira nina Ed Daquioag at Aljon Mariano ang diskarte ng Falcons sa fourth-quarter. This season has been disappointing because we have so many injuries, ani coach Pido Jarencio matapos gumanda ang marka ng 5-5 kartada. Bagamat sinabing lalaro siya ay hindi ipinasok si Jeric Teng na nanood mula sa bench. May hamstring injury si Teng. Bumuga si Tiongson ng 20 puntos sa samantalang may 18 puntos at siyam rebounds si Ravena. Napanatili ng Tamaraws ang liderato na may 8-3 marka bagamat bulilyaso ang nais nilang makuha ang playoff sa Final Four. The significance of this win is that now were in the

Kumana ng 17 puntos si Daquioag kabilang ang dalawang tres na nag-resulta sa 66-55 agwat ng Tigers sa huling apat minuto. Umiskor si Mariano ng 10 sa kanyang 16 puntos sa final period.

AAPELA ang University of the East sa UAAP technical committee upang baguhin ang desisyon ni Commissioner Chito Loyzaga na suspendihin ng tig-dalawang laro si African center Charles Mammie at defensive specialist Lord Casajeros. Naniniwala si Rod Roque, kinatawan ng UE sa board, na hindi sinadya ng dalawang atleta ang mga foul at dahil dito ay hindi nararapat ang mga parusang pinataw. We hope that they can lift or at least downgrade [the sanctions], sabi ni Roque. Nakuha ni Mammie ang ikatlong unsportsmanlike foul ngayong season.

ITH all the hype and anticipation he got from the De La Salle community during his rookie year in 2011, Arnold Van Opstal learned that living up to expectations was indeed a tall order. Taller than his 6-foot-9 frame can handle.
His 6.4ppg, 2.9rpg averages failed to impress fans who set high hopes on their Fil-Dutch/German prized rookie. And to make things harder for the then 18-yearold freshman, the Green Archers missed the Final Four bus. His sophomore year was far from impressive, as his scoring dipped to 4.9ppg, despite posting better at the boards with 5.2rpg. I guess Ive finally come to realize my strength in the post, said the third year International Studies major who upped his scoring and rebounding to 11ppg and 6rpg, respectively. My teammates have also learned to take advantage of my size and speed against some of my opponents. Arnold, or AVO to his fans, also credits his improved game inside game to former PBA superstar Jun Limpot, himself a former Green Archer who led his squad to three titles in the early 90s. I just worked and improved on my weaknesses from last season. Its more on the confidence side and I can say it is higher now than it was two years ago, he added. Despite having a new coach in Juno Sauler who was a last minute replacement right before the start of the season, Van Opstal said he and his teammates have adjusted smoothly. Ive been adjusting pretty well. It wasnt much of a change so it was pretty easy. Van Opstal said the Green Archers has tremendous respect for Sauler. We all respect him (Sauler) tremendously and we just follow whatever he wants. Hes an easy going coach, said Van Opstal. And with the influx of foreign big men, he is forced to beef up further for the intense physical play in the paint. I consider Charles Mammie (of the UE
Red Warriors) as the toughest one to guard. He just moves around a lot and hes pretty strong. Hes a beast off the boards. On the lighter side, fans have been wondering if his attention-grabbing basketball shoes have anything to do with his improvement. It was really my choice to wear pink, referring to his pair of Nike Kobe Air 8 System which celebrates breast cancer awareness. My girlfriend helped out with the colors and we decided to put some green on it as well. Regardless if the shoes are helping him or not, there is no doubt AVO is focused on boosting the Green and Whites chances of returning to the promised land.

EASY TWO
OARING to help his Alma Mater get back to its winning ways, team captain Jeric Teng saw his return to the UST squad cut short after he had spasm in his right hamstring midway in the second quarter in their game against the NU Bulldogs last August 24.
a 1-of-4 shooting from the field in his 10 minutes of play. Teng is coming off of a sixweek lay-off, recuperating the partial tear in his right anterior labrum (shoulder joint) after being pushed by NU forward Jeff Javillonar last July 10. UST went 2-3 in Tengs absence, and just like in their first round meeting, they bowed to the Bulldogs. Im very frustrated kasi di ako makatulong sa team at natalo pa kami. Wala akong nagawa para sa team, he added. Clearly disappointed of the way their team is doing, Teng knows that there are no more room for errors for the Growling Tigers.

TENG makes a twisting shot under the goal.
AUGUST DELA CRUZ
Though the heart of the Growling Tiger badly wanted to get his hands on the ball and shoot his team to victory, the second-generation star decided to sit the rest of the game knowing that his stay on the floor might just hamper the teams progress. I wanted to play pero pinakiramdaman ko at feeling ko nun, magiging liability lang ako sa team, said the 6-foot-2 gunner. Mahirap namang ipilit. Hindi na ako makagalaw ng maayos so I decided not to play. The son of Robocop Alvin Teng finished with two points in
Kahit si coach Pido (Jarencio), nagtataka na rin. Ok naman kami sa ensayo pero pagdating ng game, nag-iiba, he said. Frustrated lahat ng players. Hindi kami nag-uusap sa court kaya ganun yung nangyari, referring to their 75-61 loss to NU. Ito na siguro yung worst game namin. Playing his final season in the Espaa-based Tigers, Teng feels the sense of urgency coming into the final stretch of the eliminations. Wala na kaming pwedeng italo, he said. For UST to have a return trip to the Finals just like what they did last year, Teng knows that the Growling Tigers should start no later but now. Marami kaming veterans sa team kaya kahit sino, kayang mag-step up para sa amin, he said. Kailangan lang talaga may puso kami every game. Hindi kami mananalo if we dont play with heart.
ON THE ATTACK
PAOLO Taha drives to the basket. AUGUST DELA CRUZ
curse with them in their first second round game against UPHSD Altas. Masakit, he shared. Pero tapos na yun we cant do anything about it. Time to move on and improve more in our upcoming games. Even with the series of unfortunate events, he is hopeful that the future still looks bright for them. According to veteran Taha, the key is to adapt to the new system that they have and be more disciplined. Kaya namin to. Nasa adjustment period pa din kasi kami pero para sa akin, mas kailangan na,in ang sistema na meron si Coach Gaby, he added. Paulo has two more years with the Blazers and his battle isnt over yet. Just like what he has proven years ago, he is out to change the image of CSB and tell everyone that it is never to late to learn and prove that we can also do it.

E came a thousand miles away from the Philippines just to play basketball, and from being an unknown cager, he is now one of the UAAPs stars and the go-to-guy of the Adamson University Soaring Falcons.
For Jericho Cruz, who once donned the colors of the Rizal Technological University Blue Thunder before transferring to the Falcons lair, the UAAP changed his life. The UAAP changed my life kasi dati parang di ako pinapansin ng mga ibang coaches, said the 3rd year BSBA Marketing Management student and a former UFC regular. Nasa RTU pa lang ako parang gusto ko ng maglaro sa D-League. Ngayong nasa UAAP na ako, parang nagkapangalan ako kahit konti lang, ang daming nagpapa-pictures pero dati hindi naman ganun, he added. Despite the attention he is getting, Cruz keeps his feet on the ground and just overwhelmed while promising to be a better player. Overwhelming, pero dahil doon lalo akong nagwo-work hard and nagpu-pursige, quipped the 6-foot-1 prolific wingman, who is averaging 15.9ppg, 4.6rpg, 3.4aspg and 1.2spg in a season full of promise for Adamson but is now turning into a season in tatters. The sophomore Cruz was born in Pasig City but raised in Saipan for almost all of his life but returned to this basketballcrazy country where Adamson head coach Leo Austria spotted him when the Falcons played the Blue Thunder in the UniGames in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. To play basketball (Why he came back to the Philippines.) It was in Dumaguete in the UNIGAMES, we played coach Leos team and he asked me kung pwede akong maglaro for Adamson, recalled Cruz. Parang napamahal na rin ako kay coach Leo, parang sec-
ond dad ko na siya. The San Marcelino-based dribblers are in desperate times right now as they are on a fivegame losing slump but Cruz is still hopeful that Adamson can put an end to its title-drought that dates back to the 19771978 season, before he finish his playing years for the Falcons. Oo naman, kahit naman sino ay gusto manalo ng championship, stressed the 22-yearold Cruz. Kumukuha ako palagi ng advise sa kanya. The UAAP changed Cruzs life. Now, it is his turn to change the fortunes of Adamson and help bring the Falcons back to the Promised Land.

ITH talks of an implosion due to the needs of their three lead guards to have the ball every single time, the FEU Tamaraws quashed the doubts before the season and proved the critics wrong as they rolled on to a first-round sweep.
But the two-week break might have hampered the progress of the young Tams, as they fell in their first two games in the second round. Yet again, cries from the detractors sounded louder as it ever was, putting back the coexistence of its lead guards in the hot seat. For RR Garcia, the losses FEU incurred was a wakeup call. Di naman porket 7-0 kami sa first round, champion na kami. Masyado kaming relaxed. Naisip naming kayangkaya na namin. Lesson na sa amin na pahirapan talaga dito sa second round. The 2010 UAAP MVP said that there is nothing in between him and his teammates Terrence Romeo and Mike Tolomia. Di ako naniniwala sa ganon. Nung first round, 7-0 kami. Kung di namin kayang maglaro ng sama-sama, eh di sana nagtatalo kami, said the 5-foot-11 Garcia, who is playing his final collegiate year for the Morayta squad. Romeo supported his teammate, saying, siguro kinailangan lang ng time na makapaglaro kami ng magkasama. Na-realize namin na kailangan naming mag-champion. Yung issue na di namin kayang maglaro kasama ang

isat isa, hindi totoo yun. Nagkataon na di talaga para sa amin yung mga game nung nakalipas, pero kaya naman naming maglaro (ng magkakasama), added the 2010 UAAP Rookie of the Year. Mas matured lang siguro kami ngayon. Ok kami off the court ni RR at Mike, he said. Part of this maturity process for the guards can be attributed to one of the leading voices on their bench - assistant coach Johnny Abarrientos. The 1991 UAAP MVP known as the Flying A in the pros has instilled knowledge to the FEU guards, enabling them to reach their full potential as players. A ng start nun is yung pagtuturo kaya ganun kagagaling yung mga bata. May skills na sila and theyre born to play. Gift sa kanila yun ni God. Nade-develop na lang kasi may mga experienced na coaches na nagtuturo behind them, said the 1996 PBA MVP .

INDING a different angle to the same story. This is the challenge to the courtside reporter for UP Fighting Maroons Bea Fabregas.
I keep it (the reports) positive because I sincerely believe kaya ng team. Kapag pumupunta ako practice at nakikita ko sila, makikita mo na kaya nila eh. Kaya talaga, she says. She adds that there was a shift in her relationship with the team. Last year, most of the players were veterans. They were the ones who did their best to make her feel at welcome. This year, most of the players in the lineup are rookies. She has become the ate to them. They would go out of their way to ask if she needed anything from them. I dont want to play favorites. I love all the rookies, but the one who really approached me was Andre Paras. He was really, really nice. He was the first one to reach out, she says. She adds that she now has the confidence she didnt have last year. The production team would tell her that she knows what shes talking about, she just needs to be confident enough to smile infront of the camera. Because she doesnt smile a lot, a lot of people assume that shes mataray and unapproachable. In reality, shes very talkative and easy to like. |Follow her on Twitter @beafabregas.
