Blue Eagles vow to spread its wings wider and soar to greater heights

FACEBOOK.COM/WEARETHEUAAP

DETHRONED champion Ateneo de Manila University vows to spread its wings wider and soar to greater heights, sooner than later, after being sent crashing back to Earth in a rare occasion.

The Blue Eagles, for the first time under the genius tactician Tab Baldwin, failed to reach the finals following an early exit in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 86 Final Four with a 57-46 loss against Katipunan rival and No. 1 seed University of the Philippines.

The loss ended Ateneo’s six-straight finals appearance since 2016 when the multi-titled Mr. Baldwin took over the program. The last time Ateneo didn’t advance in the UAAP finals was way back in Season 78.

“Certainly, it has been a rollercoaster season for us. The record indicates that if you were a fly on the wall that all of our practices you would see that firsthand. But I just got to say I’m really proud of the team because this was a season of battles, not just on the court,” said Mr. Baldwin

Ateneo’s shaky campaign saw it limp into the Final Four.

With multiple rookies on deck after the departure of their championship core led by MVP Ange Kouame, the Blue Eagles fought for their dear lives all-season long before salvaging a playoff win against Adamson University to secure the last semis ticket.

One-and-done cager Joseph Obasa was tasked to anchor the squad with huge shoes to fill vacated by Mr. Kouame as veterans Chris Koon and Kai Ballungay poured it all to guide the young Eagles.

To no avail, it wasn’t enough as an era ended in Loyola. But if anything, Mr. Baldwin sees it as an opening of a new pathways to greatness soon.

“A lot of people will look at this season as a season of failure, a season of indifference. But I choose to look at the glass being half-full. And I’d like to think that this season is a bridge for us,” beamed Mr. Baldwin as the Eagles held a mass for the graduating Mr. Obasa at the Church of the Gesu in Ateneo after their Final Four exit.

“So, we’re looking at this year now as a bridge to what we hope will be a new era of success for Blue Eagle basketball. We’re going to be optimistic.”

From here on as the Eagles embark on lessons and teachings of a historic Season 86 that halted their finals streak, the young cadets at their nest are anticipated to only get molded into ready warriors.

“This has to be a spark for them, which lights a fire, which burns all of us until we put it out with some hardware in the future. We will be reminding one another in the months to come about the pain that we have so that the fire doesn’t go out,” he added.

“Hopefully, it be part of the process of giving us the motivation and giving us the drive to work our tails off to get back into what we believe shouldn’t be the place we belong — and that’s in the finals and ultimately winning championships.” — John Bryan Ulanday

TNT Triple Giga eye sixth straight PBA 3×3 conference championship

PBA.PH

AFTER an amazing near-sweep of the six legs, PBA 3×3 juggernaut TNT guns for the ultimate honors in the Season 3 Second Conference as the Grand Finals fires off today at Ayala Malls Glorietta.

The Triple Giga reigned supreme in all but the fourth leg in the pre-finals, building massive momentum in their quest for a record-extending sixth straight conference championship.

Battle-tested Almond Vosotros, Ping Exciminiano and Gryann Mendoza and new recruit Chester Saldua are tasked to bring this to fruition and keep the PLDT franchise’s tradition of excellence in the league.

As No. 1 seeds, the TNT crew of Mau Belen is drawn straight into the quarterfinal round of the one-day duel for the conference crown and P750,000 prize, along with No. 2 Meralco, No. 3 Cavitex and No. 4 Pioneer Elastoseal.

The Triple Giga, the Bolts, the Braves and the Katibays await the results of the pool preliminaries starting at 2 p.m. to determine their opponents. Fifth-ranked MCFASolver, the only other team to win a leg in the mid-season conference, mixes it up with No. 8 Purefoods and No. 9 San Miguel Beer in a dispute for the two Last-8 tickets from Pool A.

No. 6 Blackwater, No. 7 Terrafirma and last qualifier Barangay Ginebra, meanwhile, contest the two other knock out (KO) seats in Pool B. — Olmin Leyba

Pampanga takes the MPBL national finals opener against Bacoor, 71-58

PAMPANGA drubbed Bacoor, 71-58, to draw first blood in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) national finals over the weekend at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center in San Fernando City, Pampanga.

Buoyed by a roaring home crowd, the Giant Lanterns uncorked a 21-4 rally and never looked back for a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five titular showdown between two first-time MPBL national finalists.

Game 2 is still in Pampanga  on Tuesday as the Giant Lanterns look to move on the cusp of capturing the crown of the MPBL 5th season. Kurt Reyson, from Letran Knights after their NCAA campaign, provided an immediate impact with 22 points, four rebounds and an assist in only 20 minutes of play for the Best Player of the Game honors.

Most Valuable Player race frontrunner Justine Baltazar collared 13 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block to anchor Pampanga’s defensive clinic with JB Bahio (8), Archie Concepcion (7), John Lloyd Clemente (6) and Michael John Garcia (6) chipping in help.

Pampanga, which ruled the North Division and topped all teams in the prelims with an absurd 26-2 slate, hardly needed the eruption of another ace player in Encho Serrano with five points.

The Giant Lanterns’ win in the explosive series opener was marred by a bottle-throwing incident on the court from some fans following Lester Reyes’ hard foul on Mr. Baltazar late in the third quarter.

Mr. Reyes was slapped with a disqualifying foul as Pampanga head coach and governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda calmed the crowd and reminded them of self-restraint as the game proceeded with no more untoward incident the rest of the way.

JM Nermal and Jhaymo Eguilos scored 16 points each for the South Division champions, who are out to even the series in Game 2 heading into their homecourt in Bacoor in Game 3. — John Bryan Ulanday

Powered by wins of Genesis Borromeo, Romeo Canino and Carl Zitex Sato, the Altas downed the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals, 3-1, to emerge as the best after the nine-round elimination with 28.5 points.

The Junior Pirates, for their part, dumped the San Sebastian Colegio-Recoletos Staglets, 3-1, on victories by Gio Troy Ventura, Ariel Santander and Eowyn Jullado in topping the high school side with 25 points.

UPHSD was battling No. 4 Jose Rizal University (19.5 points) while No. 2 San Beda University (25) and No. 3 and reigning titlist Lyceum of the Philippines University (24.5) were tackling each other in the semis at press time.

The finals are set next week.

LPU was clashing with No. 4 San Beda (16.5) while No. 2 UPHSD (22) was facing off with No. 3 Arellano University (19) in the juniors semis.

UPHSD is eyeing its second seniors’ crown after claiming its breakthrough title four years ago while LPU is aiming for its historic juniors championship. — Joey Villar

Sinner stuns Djokovic then doubles up to send Italy into Davis Cup final

MALAGA, Spain — Italy returned to the Davis Cup final after a gap of 25 years as Jannik Sinner beats Novak Djokovic in both singles and doubles to secure a 2-1 victory over Serbia on Saturday that earned the 1976 champions a title clash with Australia.

Mr. Sinner and doubles partner Lorenzo Sonego beat the Serbian duo of Djokovic and Miomir Kecmanovic6-3 6-4 to secure a famous victory that sent the former champions packing and sparked wild celebrations at a heaving Martin Carpena Arena in Spain. Up next for Filippo Volandri’s side, who will be playing in an eighth final and seeking a second trophy, are 28-times champions Australia after Lleyton Hewitt’s team eased past giant-killers Finland on Friday.

Mr. Sinner earlier saved three matchpoints to stun Djokovic 6-2 2-6 7-5 in an extraordinary singles match to help Italy draw level with Serbia at 1-1 after Kecmanovic had put the 2010 champions ahead by beating Lorenzo Musetti 6-7(7) 6-2 6-1.

Mr. Sinner was facing Djokovic for the third time in 11 days and the world number four, who beat the top-ranked Serbian early in the ATP Finals before losing to him in the title clash, made a quick start to ease through the opening set with two breaks. — Reuters

Westbrook as reserve

Russell Westbrook could not have been a happy camper heading into yesterday’s match. Since the Clippers acquired James Harden two and a half weeks ago, he had been performing poorly. In fact, the decision to relegate him to the bench after the Clippers went into a five-game swoon — publicly disclosed as his own choice — seemed to contribute even more to his inconsistency. Still, he was determined to find his place in the rotation — if for nothing else than because he had no other choice. His advancing age had slowly been robbing him of the athleticism that underpinned his effectiveness on the court, and he felt compelled to stay relevant by just doing what was asked of him.

To be sure, the Clippers had to have known Westbrook would be making yet another sacrifice. With only one ball to share between Harden, resident stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and him, he had been pegged from the get-go to step back the most. All of them were at their best as the fulcrum of the offense, but his noted inefficiency automatically put him last in the pecking order. Whether or not he was really the brains behind his demotion from starter to reserve, there can be no questioning the rationale behind it. And any doubts as to its viability were quashed by the result: four victories in the last five outings.

The good news is that Westbrook did well against the Mavericks yesterday. His relatively robust stat line of 14 points on nine shots, eight rebounds, and seven assists contributed to the Clippers’ triumph; his presence on the court while those in the First Five got some rest was at least able to keep them ahead. The bad news is that, for all his exertions, he could not do better than finish with smallest positive number in the plus-minus spectrum. And the jury’s still out as to whether he can stop riding the roller coaster for a more stable journey.

Head coach Tyron Lue is no stranger to getting big egos to subscribe to a collective objective, having led LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love to the championship in 2016 — and after being down one to three in the Finals. Then again, Westbrook is an altogether different breed. He’s one of a kind, and conventional tactics with him on the roster have been proven to fail. Just ask the Thunder, Rockets, Wizards, and Lakers. In other words, he’s a high-risk, high-reward type that legitimate contenders normally avoid. The Clippers are clearly desperate, however, and time will tell whether their gamble will pay off in the end.

Hamas frees more Israeli, Thai hostages in temporary truce

A PART of a mural is seen through a tent as displaced Palestinians stay at a camp amid a temporary truce between Hamas and Israel, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, Nov. 25, 2023. — REUTERS

GAZA/JERUSALEM — Thirteen Israelis and four Thai nationals arrived in Israel on Sunday in the second release of hostages from Hamas captivity in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in a deal briefly endangered by a dispute about aid delivery into Gaza.

Although overcome by the mediation of Egypt and Qatar, the dispute that threatened the truce to free captives underscored the fragility of the pact meant to release 50 hostages held by the Palestinian militant groups and 150 prisoners held in Israeli jails over four days.

Television images showed hostages on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing after leaving Gaza, as Hamas handed the captives to the International Committee of the Red Cross late on Saturday.

Six of the 13 Israelis released were women and seven were children and teenagers.

“The released hostages are on their way to hospitals in Israel, where they will re-unite with their families,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.

Israel released 39 Palestinians — six women and 33 minors —from two prisons, the Palestinian news agency WAFA said.

Some of the Palestinians arrived at Al-Bireh Municipality Square in Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where thousands of citizens awaited them, a Reuters witness said.

A Palestinian official familiar with the diplomatic moves said Hamas would continue the truce, the first halt in fighting since Hamas fighters rampaged through southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and taking about 240 hostages.

In response to that attack, Israel has vowed to destroy the Hamas militants who run Gaza, raining bombs and shells on the enclave and launching a ground offensive in the north. Some 14,800 people, roughly 40% of them children, have been killed, Palestinian health authorities said on Saturday.

Saturday’s swap follows the previous day’s initial release of 13 Israeli hostages, including children and the elderly, by Hamas in return for the release of 39 Palestinian women and young people from Israeli prisons.

On Friday Hamas also released a Philippine national and 10 Thai farm workers.

The four Thais released on Saturday “want a shower and to contact their relatives,” Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said a day later on social media platform X, adding that all were safe and showed few ill-effects.

Eighteen Thais remain captive, Thailand’s foreign ministry said on Sunday.

“I’m so happy, I’m so glad, I can’t describe my feeling at all,” Thongkoon Onkaew told Reuters by telephone, after news of the release of her 26-year-old son Natthaporn Onkaew, the family’s sole breadwinner.

The deal risked being derailed when Hamas’ armed wing said on Saturday it was delaying releases until Israel met all truce conditions, including committing to let aid trucks into northern Gaza.

Ensuring the deal did not collapse took a day of high-stakes diplomacy mediated by Qatar and Egypt, a process US President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. joined, calling Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

Hamas spokesperson Osama Hamdan said only 65 of 340 aid trucks that had entered Gaza since Friday had reached northern Gaza, which was “less than half of what Israel agreed on.”

Al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas armed wing, also said Israel had failed to respect terms for the release of Palestinian prisoners that factored in their time in detention. 

The IDF said the United Nations (UN) and international organizations distribute aid inside the Gaza Strip. The UN said 61 trucks delivered aid to northern Gaza on Saturday, the most since the war began seven weeks ago. They included food, water and emergency medical supplies.

Qatari foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said there had been “a lot of discussion” on how and whom to prioritize for release and that a key criterion for the Palestinian side was the length of time spent in Israeli prisons.

“We are now hopeful that, with the second or the third day of this pause, we would be able to hash out a lot of these details that made this day so difficult,” he told CNN.

Israel has said the ceasefire could be extended if Hamas continued to release at least 10 hostages a day. A Palestinian source has said up to 100 hostages could go free.

‘HEART IS SPLIT’
Saturday also brought hours of nail-biting waiting for the families of hostages, some of whose joy was tempered by the continued captivity of others.

“My heart is split because my son, Itay, is still in Hamas’ captivity in Gaza,” Mirit Regev, the mother of Maya Regev, one of those released late on Saturday, said in a statement from the Hostage and Missing Families Forum that represents the families.

Also released was nine-year-old Irish-Israeli hostage Emily Hand, who was initially thought to have been killed. She spent her ninth birthday in captivity and was released alongside 12-year-old Hila Rotem, whose mother remains in captivity.

“We are overjoyed to embrace Emily again, but at the same time, we remember Raya Rotem and all the hostages who have yet to return,” Ms. Hand’s family said in a statement.

Palestinians’ joy at the release of prisoners from Israeli jails was tinged with bitterness.

“I feel like I am in a dream, but I hope that the war on Gaza will stop as soon as possible,” one of them, Shorouk Dwayyat, who had served half her term of 16 years, told Al Jazeera TV from her home, saying her joy was mixed with pain. — Reuters

China, US exchange accusations over US vessel in South China Sea

NAVY.MIL

BEIJING/SHANGHAI — China and the United States exchanged accusations at the weekend over the disputed South China Sea, after China’s military said it had driven away a US warship that the US Navy said was on a routine freedom of navigation operation.

According to a post on the official WeChat social media account of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Southern Theatre Command on Saturday, the Chinese military deployed its naval and air forces to “track, monitor and warn away” the US destroyer.

The US Navy said on Sunday that the Hopper had “asserted navigational rights in the South China Sea near the Paracel Islands, consistent with international law”.

China claims almost the entire South China Sea, a conduit for more than $3 trillion of annual ship-borne commerce, including parts claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2016 said China’s claims had no legal basis.

The Philippines and Australia began their first joint sea and air patrols in the sea on Saturday, days after Beijing accused Manila of enlisting foreign forces to patrol the South China Sea, referring to joint patrols by the Philippine and US militaries.

This weekend’s incident, China said, “proves that the United States is an out-and-out ‘security risk creator’ in the South China Sea.”

Lieutenant Kristina Weidemann, deputy spokesperson for the US 7th Fleet, said in an e-mailed statement: “The United States challenges excessive maritime claims around the world regardless of the identity of the claimant.

“Unlawful and sweeping maritime claims in the South China Sea pose a serious threat to the freedom of the seas.”

Earlier this month, the United States and China held talks on maritime issues, including the contested South China Sea, where the US underscored concerns about what it called “dangerous and unlawful” Chinese actions, the US State department said. — Reuters

India warns Facebook, YouTube to enforce rules to deter deepfakes

REUTERS

BENGALURU — India’s government on Friday warned social media firms including Facebook and YouTube to repeatedly remind users that local laws prohibit them from posting deepfakes and content that spreads obscenity or misinformation, two sources told Reuters.

The warning was conveyed by deputy IT minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar in a closed-door meeting where he said many companies had not updated their usage terms despite 2022 rules that prohibit content “harmful” to children, obscene or that “impersonates another person”.

It comes amid growing concerns over deepfakes — realistic yet fabricated videos created by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms trained on online footage — which a top minister this week said this week India is drawing up rules to address.

Mr. Chandrasekhar said the companies must raise awareness of the rules by reminding users every time they log in that they cannot post such content, or by issuing reminders.

He said otherwise he will issue directions forcing them to do so, said the two sources, who declined to be named as the meeting was private.

The minister described it as a “non-negotiable” demand of the Indian government during the meeting, said one of the sources.

India’s IT ministry said in a press statement all platforms had agreed to align their content guidelines with government rules.

Facebook and Mr. Chandrasekhar did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Alphabet, Inc’s Google, which owns YouTube, said in a statement it was committed to responsible AI development and has robust policies and systems to identify and remove harmful content across its products and platforms.

The Indian government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have raised concerns over deepfakes in recent days.

During a virtual summit of G20 nations on Wednesday, Mr. Modi called on global leaders to jointly work towards regulating AI, and raised concerns over the negative impact of deepfakes on society.

Countries across the world are racing to draw up rules to regulate AI. India has been tightening regulations of social media companies, which count the South Asian nation as a top  growth market.

Last year, the government privately criticized the companies for not removing what it described as fake news on their sites, which it said had forced it  to order content takedowns. — Reuters

Too slow recovery in Acapulco after hurricane fans fears over livelihoods

ACAPULCO — One month since Hurricane Otis devastated Acapulco, fears for the local economy stalk the Mexican beach resort with businesses saying efforts to repair the damage have been too slow to save a vital part of the tourist season: December.

Otis, the strongest hurricane to ever hit Mexico’s Pacific coast, hammered Acapulco in the early hours of Oct. 25, killing at least 50 people, causing billions of dollars in damage, and sparking widespread looting.

Residents still searching for loved ones say the official death toll is likely significantly higher. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has rejected unconfirmed media reports suggesting fatalities may have gone well past 300.

Lopez Obrador has launched a $3.4-billion recovery plan and pledged to get Acapulco back on its feet quickly, but local businesses say time is fast running out for this year.

“Acapulco lives off just three seasons: December, which is the biggest for us, Easter, and a bit of summer. December is the most hotly anticipated and we’re not going to be up and running,” said Jesus Zamora, head of infrastructure for a local tourism body.

“By the December season we won’t even have 50% of hotels running, so even if we wanted to have more tourists, we couldn’t host them,” he added.

Business groups have estimated the damage at around $16 billion in Acapulco, which is the biggest city in Guerrero, one of Mexico’s poorest states.

The hurricane battered Acapulco’s airport, and international flights are not due to resume until next year. Some business leaders fear the city will not recover until 2025.

“People who work on social events, beach weddings and conventions have been unemployed since that day,” said Roberto Buenfil, who works for a company organizing events. “Everything there was for these last months of the year is no longer happening.”

Security forces are still struggling to clean up the rubbish engulfing some areas. Some 221,000 tons of trash have been collected so far.

Trash has been collected faster from central areas with hotels than in outlying neighborhoods like Renacimiento and Emiliano Zapata where the smell of rotting garbage has grown as it piles up, local residents say. — Reuters

Facing gloomy China consumers, Alibaba’s Taobao replaces Dec 12 shopping spree with new event

BEIJING — Alibaba’s online shopping platforms Taobao and Tmall said on Friday they had cancelled their Dec. 12 shopping festival and will instead host another shopping spree called ‘year-end good price’ from Dec. 9.

“Compared with the 12.12 festival of previous years, the discount intensity, scale of merchants and the scale of commodities have all been greatly improved,” a written statement from Alibaba supplied to Reuters read in part. It did not specify how long the festival would run.

The 12.12 shopping festival, held annually on Dec. 12 since 2012, was the less-celebrated sister of November’s Singles Day sales festival, which traditionally fell on Nov. 11 but has in recent years ballooned into a multi-week event beginning in late October.

This year marked the second time Alibaba declined to release its sales results for the Singles Day festival period, but data provider Syntun estimated cumulative gross merchandising volume (GMV) sales across major e-commerce platforms rose 2.08% to 1.14 trillion yuan ($156.40 billion) compared with growth of 2.9% last year.

According to Alibaba, 80 million products were offered at their deepest discount of the year for Singles Day.

Analysts saw Alibaba’s focus on discounts this year as an attempt to fight rivals such as Douyin and PDD Holdings’ Pinduoduo that have changed the landscape of Chinese e-commerce in recent years by selling lower-cost and discounted items year-round.

Chinese consumers are in a thrifty mood, amid a deepening crisis in the country’s giant property sector, where most of the country’s household wealth is parked, spending cuts by highly indebted local governments, youth unemployment rates surpassing 20%, and falling wages in some sectors of the economy.

“Macroeconomic headwinds are causing consumers to be more value-conscious,” consultancy Bain said in a report released earlier this month focused on Singles Day sales. — Reuters
