I was happy to be a part of the national open and be one of two filipinos to make the 100 final. I have made the final everytime. Unfortunatley things didnt go well for me and i was hospitalised after day 1 due to dehydration. I was forced to make some difficult choices such as pulling out of the 200, as i felt drained after the heats. I lined up in the 100 final hardly able to breathe and finished last. Came back later and ran the 4x100 and helped team to silver. Thats some very good insight Bong. 10.78 was hand timed by Navaja. He ran a personal best 11.05et in the SF but was pipped in the final by Carlo Soriano of ADMU (pb 11.00et at UAAP) 11.12 to 11.13, with Mostoles of FEU 3rd in 11.16. It was an exciting race to watch i think i was hunched over coughing out phlegm when i watched it. Last year Lindley and Mostoles both ran 11.14 for a tie, and Soriano was 7th. What a shock and upset it was for Navaja as the big athlete from Ateneo dipped him on the line. In consolation Lindley has one possibly two more years left in the junior division. Del Prado Jr. ran in the senior division, i think he clocked 50 seconds in the first two rounds. Data-on i dont know her, is she the taller dark athlete from FEU??? Bong very good insight.

If Manny can beat Cotto in his next fight, he will become the first boxer to win titles in seven diff.divisions. Greatest boxer of all time.Goodluck pacman. Hitman shouldn't retire yet, he's jst 30 like Pacquiao. All he needs to do is to develop more of his skills and footwork. I hope ricky learned a lesson in his life. that was a great and historic fight. If Manny can beat Cotto in his next fight, he will become the first boxer to win titles in seven diff.divisions.

But I saw a video of him running in previous palaro (2008) and he seems to be the future of Philippine sprinting at age 16yo with his nice long strides. The thing about athletic talents in the Philippines is that they appear this year and gone next year. Government intervention in training is really necessary for these young athletes to become int'l stars. Del prado, jr is lucky to have a father to direct and support him and so his Unso, jr. Young filipina girls mostly continue in athletics for university scholarships when they are in college; but the school is a factor too in developing their potential. Jonah Genilza chose DLSU years back and she merely reached UAAP status. I feel Dato-on will follow suit since it is really hard to balance athletics and studies. Proof is she hasn't really improved much and just got stuck in the 5.3 to 5.5 m range in the long jump and slumped in 12.6secs in 100m. Shrijvers and Henares came from upper medium class families and most likely their families will oppose athletics, such I think is the case for Chantal Balani. Personally, I don't think Klarrizze will take up track and field seriously (towards in't stardom) but just grab a college scholarship and just win in inter university championships after Brent or may even shift to basketball. Personally I dont think Elma and Jojo want their daughter to take Athletics seriously as her mother did. I think this is the case also for Lydia's daughter Paning. It was not all glory for Lydia back then during her sprinting days; carrying the burden of losing wasn't easy especially if you alone will be resposible for it. Making Paning compete in a team event is less strenous and more time also for studies (and a better future for her kid than what is happening to her now), and definitely more fun than training in 100m alone. She knew the hardship of also always being in the limelight. I think Lindley just did a 10.78 secs in PRISAA’s 100m dash; I just don’t know if it is electronic.
