Red Letter Day
June 12, Wednesday
 Arena, San Juan

Just a FEW images from that Last Filoil Playdate
 [DLSU   vs   FEU]  [Womens' Championship] 
[SBC   vs   UST]  [Mens' Battle for Third]
[UE   vs   NU]  [Mens' Championship]

[Images are randomly arranged]
Broken Plays, Broken Hearts,
Fans and Favorites 
[Friends, AcquiaNtanceS]


Tooth and Nail  !!
 for the Rebound 
Charles Mammie [#12] "outclaws" Alfred Arofga for 21 of UE's boards.


These are 3 of my fave action shots fr the San Beda-UST and UE-NU matches.
 [1 above and 2 below]

All Ball !!

Growling Tiger Karim Abdul blocks Red Lion Art de la Cruz.


Anatomy of A Broken Play
[5 frames below]


As DLSU throws in, an FEU Lady Tam darts out of nowhere to snatch the ball away - forcing a DLSU turnover.  It catches me by surprise [as my DSLR is still vertically oriented] - but in that micro second I shift my camera horizontally to give the next frames enough space [on the left or right of portion of the image] for hoopsters possibly sprawling on the floor for the loose ball.





These sequences whiz by so fast ya just gotta be sharp !
[Easier said than done]




End-game Huddle ->UE Red Warriors 
[2 frames follow] 



Almost There !!



Try to take some close-ups of the NU huddle in the last few minutes but one guy from the NU coaching staff is so masungit and cranky so i just let it go.

I take the image of Javillonar [below], on the sidelines [not in the huddle].

Joeffrey Javillionar
knows how it feels to Win a Championship and 
now knows how it is to feel it slowly slipping away.



After Mbe and Parks foul out - everybody realizes that a UE upset over NU
just might happen. Bobby Ray takes everything in stride - His fouling out, along with Mbe and Aroga performing sub par - all factor in the Bulldogs losing their Filoil Crown


I had the pleasure of working [dinner after - along w some other professionals] with Bobby Ray [outside of the UAAP] sometime July of 2012. That same year [January] he lost his girlfriend to the Big C [I actually met him at the wake of Ma-an] , and in recent months [2013], his dad too.  This guy's been through tough times  bro .  .  . He's tough, agressive [even cocky] - on court - BUT a resilient, gentle, humble guy off court.

Parks answers questions post game.


Abaca and Piatos
The Finals MVP [left] unwinds with the match heroine
[Piatos scores the winning 2 points 
w/ 8 seconds left in the match and the score deadlocked]
at the 2013 Filoil Champs Archers' dugout.

after the post game interviews.
 [Roi, TY pre - U took time to notice my off court portraits of you at my sites]

Is he the long lost brother of Ronald Tubid ?? -   KIDDING !!

Former Southridge High Boys  .   .   .

Kevin, Aldo and Gio now all do stuff for The La Sallian
 [Thanks 4 visiting this blog - occasionally]
[I need all the support I can get]


Am glad former Green Archer [basketball] Pauline Vela and 
Plaridel [DLSU Tagalog publication] photog Christine "Gecca" Penas

feel comfortable in front of my cam.

Bedimpled Gecca knows she is a favorite subject of mine.
->I told her so. [Hey - And she visits this blog too !]


And so does Heidel Anne !!, aka Apple [David]
who, in this gallery shot, takes a break from her courtside duties,
 along with her mom and brother.


My buddies from the DLSU Womens' Football Team [mostly fb friends o' mine]
cheer on former team mate Niki Scott to win her first Filoil Championship.  






They are NOT disappointed.
Ola Ninas  !!->Lacson, Diaz, Nolasco  and Coy. !! 
 It is refreshing 2 C U guys again !
[Remember the keeper [#18] celebrating her debut
during that match 2-1 W vs Ateneo - Right?]

Sad 2 say - I'll miss your match vs the Lady Eagles this Saturday, June15 -
during the Pinay League in Zobel due to a Video Shoot at Emperador.
Have Fun Guys !!


ABS-CBN talents Selina Dagdag,  Katz Salao and Bea Fabregas 
 get to work.
[five images follow below]









Bea Fab's complexion [flawless!], her locks [adorable]-
[She uses Human Nautre' Shampoo & Cond]
-  pang artista talaga !.

The Fab poses with the Phenom.


Anyway, Shall I end this post with Apple's sad face ?,

her fists ?,

or Jane Bracher's smile ?


Nope - I'll end this post with a
Cocky yet Prophetic Pre-Match Photo

I chance upon Red Warriors Chris Javier and Charles Mammie just before they proceed to the hardcourt for the shoot around.   I specifically request them to flash victory Signs - and they oblige.


Congratulations to the Champs DLSU Lady Archers and UE Red Warriors along with bronze winners the San Beda Red Lions !!

- Action shots from the three matches will follow in a separate post very soon -
