Christmas for Pinoy hoops fan (The Manila Times)

But to start off, the most fervent wish I have for the Pinoy Hoops fan is an All-Star appearance for Jordan Clarkson. This would be the first time, and ...

This is what the corporate world who runs the league should realize, and this is what the pundits, analysts, and influencers should remember: Beneath all the projections and complications, there are the fans, cheering for every shot, steal or block. With the internet, that has stretched to NBA games. After two years of the pandemic, live sports events are back and oh, how we missed it. While we keep criticizing and demanding changes, let us not forget that in some remote locations, Filipinos still gather around a TV set, drinks and "pulutan" ready, for a wild watching of PBA games. This would be the first time, and definitely not the last (Jalen Green is there). It's a remarkable journey that would be gloriously capped off with an All-Star appearance, after he won the Sixth Man of the Year award.

One Pangasinense was for his "conquest of the Igorots" in 1591 and "pacification" of natives and Negrillos of Zambales "rewarded" with an encomienda in some remote mountain inhabited by "Negrillos" — the tributes, predictably, "dwindled to a pittance" over the years. An encomienda was a royal grant of the tributes of a particular locality and could be bestowed on a person in recognition of deeds and services rendered by him or his family to the king of Spain. For instance, the municipal hall and almost all the stone houses and nipa huts in central Pila and adjacent barrios "were razed to the ground" by the American invaders in 1899. Santiago (1942-2019), a psychiatrist by profession, sought to "cure" the Filipino public of ignorance of history. His works, as presented in The Reader, while referring to numerous historical events, is not an outline of such events or grand personalities to memorize for recitation. IN the most extreme of cases, "Ignorance of history can lead to chaos and lawlessness," Dr.

How the CPP executed the Plaza Miranda bombing (The Manila Times)

EXCERPTS from Gregg Jones' 'Red Revolution': In mid-August 1971, CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines) central committee member Reuben Guevarra arrived in ...

Cordero bragged that he had the confidence of the highest party leaders and to prove it told some of his colleagues about his role in the Plaza Miranda bombing. Guevarra's lobbying swayed one of the members to change his mind, and the tribunal voted 6-3 (including Guevarra's vote in favor of death) to execute Cordero. Of the tribunal members, only Guevarra knew that Cordero was telling the truth. During a recess, Guevarra gathered the tribunal members and made his case: Cordero was dangerous to the revolution, a rebel who had broken the party's sacred principles of iron discipline and democratic centralism; his execution would be for the good of the revolution. He recalled the instructions he had been given during his briefing on the delicate operation: Anyone who spoke of Plaza Miranda was to be dealt with most severely. Most importantly, Cordero was slandering the party by claiming responsibility for the Plaza Miranda bombing. Unaware of the arms shipment already en route, Cordero began criticizing the order to pool NPA forces, which he thought was an overreaction to government military offensives. Guevarra awoke the next morning to find newspapers filled with gory photographs and accounts of the previous evening's bloody bombing, but he was not particularly troubled. "It became common knowledge among the small group I was training that Cordero and the other two were the ones who did Plaza Miranda," Corpus told me. Minutes after the meeting in the Parañaque safe house broke up, Danny Cordero and two accomplices carried out the "delicate operation," throwing at least three grenades at the Plaza Miranda stage filled with Liberal Party officials. In mid-August 1971, CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines) central committee member Reuben Guevarra arrived in Manila for discussions with party officials. "We are going to execute a delicate plan that will intensify the split between the ruling class to the point that they are going to kill each other," he explained to Guevarra.
