Monsters in Phl volleyball
Philippine volleyball is again in trouble. The country’s lone professional volleyball league — the Premier Volleyball League — is under fire after the Philippine National Volleyball Federation penalized it for staging a tournament “within the national team period without authorization.” Based on the calendar of the International Volleyball Federation, no commercial tournaments will be held around the world from 16 May to 15 October to give way to the national teams’ participation in various tournaments. The PVL, however, kicked off its Invitational Conference last week to run till 30 July with guest teams from Japan and Australia said to be joining to jack up the level of competition in the semifinals. The biggest casualty is the national squad that competed in the AVC Women’s Challenge Cup in Indonesia recently. With the core of the team that saw action in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games like Alyssa Valdez, Kat Tolentino, Jia de Guzman, and Mylene Paat busy with their respective mother teams in the PVL, the PNVF had no choice but to send young and untested players to the prestigious continental tournament. Bannered by Faith Nisperos, Michelle Cobb, AC Miner, and Roma Doromal with Aiza Maizo-Pontillas and Bang Pineda as the only veterans, the national squad had a forgettable seventh-place finish. This didn’t sit well with the PNVF. In a memorandum that Daily Tribune obtained last Thursday, the federation cracked the whip by barring PVL clubs from securing the International Transfer Certificates of foreign players in the reinforced conference. Sideliners see the penalty as a declaration of war by the PNVF leadership as it will prompt the PVL organizers to either alter their format or scrap the season-ending conference altogether. But more than that, the sanction will disrupt PVL operations, hurting the players, coaches, officials, utility, and other personnel who are banking on professional volleyball to make ends meet. But let us remember that the PVL is the federation’s last remaining ally. When the PNVF was formed at the height of the pandemic in 2021, the PVL rallied behind it while other leagues such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association, University Athletic Association of the Philippines, and the Shakey’s Girls Volleyball League refused to toe the line. The PVL had also been very cooperative and supportive of the national team program by deploying its players to major international tournaments. In fact, when the PNVF leadership threw a tantrum and fired National University players from the national squad, it was the PVL that cleaned up the mess by sending its players to the AVC Women’s Volleyball Cup that the country was set to host. During the buildup to the SEA Games, the PVL made the major sacrifice of halting its operations so its players could go to Japan for a 15-day training. Although it could have easily refused since the Osaka training was scheduled from 13 to 28 April, which was outside the national team window, the PVL still agreed to lend its players to help the federation regain a SEA Games medal. The PVL has also been very gracious, allowing national team head coach Jorge Edson Souza de Brito of Brazil to coach one of its marquee clubs, Akari, even though there are many local coaches available who can easily do the job. And now this? The PNVF is penalizing the PVL for something that could have been resolved with a mere phone call or a 30-minute meeting. You don’t do that to your partner, especially your most loyal — and last remaining — ally. What if — only what if — PVL team owners fire back and bar their stars from playing for the national team in the 19th Asian Games? Can the PNVF still form a competitive team? The monsters that have been terrorizing Philippine volleyball are again starting to appear. And, sad to say, they are destroying the relationship between the PVL and PNVF, greatly affecting the country’s chances to form a stronger, more competitive national team. Unless local officials slay the monsters — pride, greed, arrogance, and lust for power — Philippine volleyball will forever be a source of punchlines in the international arena.

Kelvin Lee gets Thought Leadership Gold Awards for Fintech initiatives
The work of the Securities and Exchange Commission, led by Commissioner Kelvin Lester Lee, to grow Financial Technology (Fintech) in the Philippines has brought pride to the Philippines after Atty Lee was recognized as the top winner in the category of "Thought Leader of the Year" by the Asia Pacific Stevies Award. In winning the Gold Prize, Commissioner Lee's exceptional contributions to the field of Fintech have garnered recognition from the international community and cemented his position as a leading authority in the Asia-Pacific region, triumphing over other winners from the Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, and India. Apart from the Gold Prize, Commissioner Lee also won the coveted Grand Stevie Award for the Philippines, a recognition presented to the highest-scoring nomination from each of the four nations that submitted the most nominations to the competition after getting an impressive score of 8.83/10 from international jurors. As an incumbent Commissioner of the SEC, Lee has spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives within Fintech. His noteworthy accomplishments include his involvement in the pioneer cohort of the University of Cambridge's Fintech and Regulatory Innovation Programme, significantly influencing his drive for a meticulous and balanced policy approach to Fintech regulation. In recognition of his vision and advocacy, Commissioner Lee played a pivotal role in establishing the SEC's PhiliFintech Innovation Office (PhiliFINNO) in 2021. Working under guidance, this office focuses on fintech regulation and policy recommendations, positioning the Philippines as a frontrunner in embracing technological advancements while prioritizing investor protection. Lee has also crafted the SEC's "delicate balancing act" policy to maintain a healthy marriage between encouraging innovation and ensuring investor safety. This policy enables the SEC to foster an environment conducive to Fintech growth while upholding its responsibility as a financial regulator to safeguard the interests of investors. The Commissioner's influence extends beyond national boundaries, as he is frequently invited to speak at Senate hearings, sit on panels, and deliver keynote speeches on Fintech policy. His expertise and insights on Fintech, Fintech policy, and Fintech regulation are sought after both in the Philippines and internationally. Noteworthy platforms where he has shared his knowledge include events organized by the University of Cambridge, the Asian Institute of Management, the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, Inc., the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Cambodia, the Fintech Alliance, and the World Economic Forum, among others. Lee's dedication to advancing Fintech has taken him to Hong Kong, Singapore, London, and Cambridge, where he has shared his expertise and contributed to shaping the global Fintech landscape. In December 2022, the SEC official's Fintech policy work and thought leadership led to him being honored as one of the Philippine Blockchain Champions by the Blockchain Council of the Philippines. This recognition acknowledges his invaluable contributions in driving the adoption of blockchain and Web3 technologies in the Philippines, positioning the country as a prominent blockchain hub in Asia. In January 2023, Lee also solidified a partnership with the University of the Philippines Law Center through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), paving the way for joint research and capacity-building projects focused on digital assets, blockchain, non-fungible tokens, and decentralized finance. As a regulator, Commissioner Lee remains guided by the SEC's overarching approach to Fintech, striking a delicate balance between regulatory objectives, such as investor protection, and fostering an environment that embraces the innovative potential of Fintech. His leadership has adopted enabling policies encouraging innovation while proactively mitigating excessive risk buildup, ensuring market integrity and investor safeguarding. Lee's pursuit of innovation within the Fintech sector has solidified his position as a trusted and influential figure. According to the Stevies jurors, Commissioner Lee's accomplishments are a testament to his dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to advancing Fintech and promoting a secure and investor-friendly environment. The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards received over 800 nominations this year, reflecting the remarkable innovative achievements across the 29-nation region. The winners will be celebrated during a virtual ceremony on June 27, providing an opportunity to recognize and honor the outstanding individuals and organizations shaping the business landscape in the Asia-Pacific region.

Phl topbills Asia as global dynamo
The country will continue setting the pace for economic expansion in the region which is being considered the engine of global growth for the coming years. Based on the projections of First Metro Investment Corp. or FMIC, the investment arm of major lender Metrobank, the economy will show a robust performance in the first quarter. Figures showed that growth in employment by February reached 8.6 percent led by the services sector which increased by 11.6 percent. The latest FMIC report supported the International Monetary Fund projections that the Philippine economy will sustain its momentum and outpace other Asian countries this year. In its World Economic Outlook (April 2023), the IMF raised the country’s growth forecast from five to six percent, the highest in Asia, while, in contrast, lowering the global growth projection from 2.9 percent to 2.8 percent. Manufacturing PMI in March reflected expansion for the 14th consecutive month. National government spending on operating and capital costs also had growth of 12.2 percent for the year until April, not readily visible from the weak total public spending due to a beneficial sharp reduction in interest payments (-13.4 percent) and allotments to local government units (-14.8 percent). The inflation rate in March slowed to 7.6 percent from 8.6 percent a month earlier due to a -0.3 percent monthly decline in the consumer price index or CPI. On top of these, business sentiment jumped to 34 percent towards the first quarter from 23.9 percent in the previous quarter, and towards the next 12 months, optimism surged to 61.9 percent from 46.2 percent. “We expect a more robust economy in the first quarter compared with projections of most analysts of a GDP growth of 7.1 percent from a year ago albeit with a little downside risk,” the report noted. The income tax cut and the downward trend in inflation should provide support although the recent crude oil price surge (due to a huge OPEC production cut) would clip that partially. FMIC expects the infrastructure buildup through public-private partnerships to be a growth driver. “Government and private sector through PPP will have ramped up infrastructure spending after the usual hesitancy of agencies in the first month. In short, domestic demand will again lead the economy,” the FMIC report stated. It said external factors may drag overall growth as exports have tanked in the first three months while import volumes of petroleum products have risen due to lower prices. Inflation should ease further to an average of 6.6 percent in the second quarter compared to last year despite higher crude oil prices and weakening further to a low five percent by September. The peso-dollar rate will weaken due to the jump in petroleum product prices, the paper forecasted. Raft of infra “Apart from government and official development assistance-funded infrastructures like the Metro Manila Subway, North-South Commuter Line that is gaining traction, major PPP projects such as the North Luzon Expressway-South Luzon Expressway second connector elevated tollway, Metro Rail Transit-7, Cavite-Laguna Expressway or Calax, an extension of Light Rail Transit-1 to Cavite, among others have hurdled key obstacles. The manufacturing sector continues to show expansion both in terms of manufacturing purchasing managers’ index or PMI and volume of production index or VoPI in the first two months. Faster return of hotels and restaurants to normal after the pandemic will also help drive the sector, FMIC said. Besides, the income tax cut which started January 2023, higher employment and infrastructure spending should bolster consumer spending, the report indicated. The report added that inflation is on a downtrend and should slip to 6.2 percent by June from a year ago despite a renewed climb in prices of petroleum products. Final May rate adjustment Easing food prices will likely offset the fuel price gains. Since we do not see a decline in actual CPI in April and May, BSP will likely proceed with raising its policy rates by 25 basis points in its May meeting. However, we expect a pause thereafter, FMIC said. The post Phl topbills Asia as global dynamo appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Chot sees solid turnout
The buildup of the Gilas Pilipinas team tasked to regain supremacy of the Southeast Asian Games next month in Cambodia intensifies this Wednesday. Head coach Chot Reyes was thinking of holding a workout Monday but he opted to call it off and scheduled a scrimmage instead on Wednesday so all the invited players can attend. Key players from newly-crowned Philippine Basketball Association Governors’ Cup champion TNT and Barangay Ginebra are expected to show up as the preparations for the 5 to 17 May sportsfest enters the twilight zone. “We’re not yet complete (by Monday), so most likely we will hold it on Wednesday,” Reyes said. ‘Hopefully I’ll get selected.’ Whether this is going to be the start of the daily workout remains to be seen. “That’s the plan,” Jong Uichico, another Gilas assistant coach, said. Mikey Williams, who just won his second title and second Finals Most Valuable Player award in the process, will lead the Gilas pool players coming from TNT and he will be joined by Calvin Oftana and Poy Erram. For Oftana, getting selected and being able to play for Gilas in the SEA Games will be a dream come true. “Hopefully I’ll get selected,” said Oftana, who just won his first championship in the PBA right in his first finals appearance. Roger Pogoy, who was originally included in the expanded pool, will miss the action in the SEA Games as he suffered a fractured pinky which will sideline him for the next six weeks. Justin Brownlee, the beloved Barangay Ginebra import, and the Philippine team’s newest naturalized player, will once again backstop Gilas’ campaign along with fellow Gin Kings Scottie Thompson, Governors’ Cup Best Player of the Conference winner Christian Standhardinger, highly-athletic wingman Jamie Malonzo, Jeremiah Gray and returning 6-foot-9 center/forward Japeth Aguilar. Aguilar is coming off a knee injury which forced him to miss the sixth and final window of the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers held a few months ago at the Philippine Arena. “In the meantime, it’s going to be back to work for us, Justin, Scottie, Jamie, Christian and hopefully Japeth, he can continue to get better,” said Ginebra coach Tim Cone, who also serves as one of the assistant coaches of Reyes. “It’s back to work for us, so no rest for the weary.” But Gilas also have several other prospects outside of the two protagonists in the recent championship series. San Miguel Beer stars CJ Perez, Marcio Lassiter and Chris Ross are eager play as well as Arvin Tolentino of NorthPort, a long-time member of the pool. Meralco stars Chris Newsome and Aaron Black had also worked out in the previous training session, so as brothers Michael and Ben Philipps from La Salle and incoming Ateneo freshman Mason Amos. Last year, the Philippines was dethroned as king of the SEA Games after losing the gold medal match to Indonesia in Hanoi. The post Chot sees solid turnout appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Indonesia fires warning shot
Indonesia clobbered Australian club Districts Spartans, 113-98, to send a warning that is serious in defending its men’s basketball title in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games. United States-born Anthony Beane was at his best, firing 23 points, four rebounds and two assists for the Indonesians, who are looking forward to a strong fightback from Gilas Pilipinas in the biennial meet that is set from 5 to 17 May in Phnom Penh. With the win, the Indonesians were able to avenge their 90-104 setback to Logan Thunder in their first friendly match in Australia at the Rowland Cowan Stadium in Carina Australia. In a message to Daily Tribune, Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes admitted that he wasn’t surprised with the Indonesians’ performance, knowing that they have what it takes to reign supreme in the region. The Indonesians had started their training camp in Australia as early as 4 April, but they had also put up their regular workouts at the GBK Arena Senayan a month earlier. Naturalized player and former Philippine Basketball Association import Lester Prosper only rejoined the Indonesian squad last 8 April while Beane, who previously trained at the GBK Arena, was only able to join the team in Australia a week later. In the SEA Games, Indonesia is expected to be led by Marques Bolden, the 6-foot-10, naturalized player who became the biggest thorn on the side of the Filipinos during the previous edition in Hanoi. While Indonesia is about to wrap up its buildup for the coming SEA Games, the Philippines had just restarted its weekly training session. Gilas held their second workout last Tuesday with only 10 players in attendance at the Meralco Gym in Pasig City. CJ Perez, Chris Ross and Marcio Lassiter of San Miguel Beer were in attendance as well as Chris Newsome and Aaron Black of Meralco, Arvin Tolentino of Northport and Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser of NLEX. Amateur stars like Ben and Mike Phillips of La Salle and Mason Amos of Ateneo also showed up to lend their support to the team that is still missing the services of players from Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and TNT Tropang Giga, who are still clashing in the Philippine Basketball Association Governors’ Cup best-of-seven finals series.

Kaya pips ADT, retakes top spot
Kaya FC-Iloilo bucked a slow start as it edged the Azkals Development Team, 3-2, to regain the lead in the Philippines Football League brought to you by Qatar Airways Saturday night at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. Japanese winger Daizo Horikoshi bagged a brace to increase his tally to 13 goals for the season while Jarvey Gayoso opened the scoring for Kaya, which now has two point advantage over Dynamic Herb Cebu with 45 points. Kaya last played almost a month ago and it took awhile for coach Yu Hoshide’s men to settle into the match. ADT found its passing rhythm early, hardly giving Kaya time on the ball but a moment of brilliance from Gayoso broke the deadlock in the 18th minute, beating Dimitrios Makapagal from a tight angle. “We didn’t expect the slow start today but at the end of the day, we won,” Hoshide said “Hopefully, next game starting kick-off, we will switch on,” The Young Azkals, whose core is gearing up for the Southeast Asian Games, equalized in the 22nd minute thanks to Andres Aldeguer who scored on a terrific strike finishing a flowing sequence involving Pocholo Bugas and Dennis Chung on the left hand side. Horikoshi got the go-ahead goal early in the second half pouncing on an error from Yrick Gallantes whose pass inside his own half was intercepted by Jhan Melliza, who squared the ball to Horikoshi for the finish. “This game was tough, especially in the first half because we were not good enough,” Horikoshi, who earned man of the match honors said. “We had a good conversation at the half and the coach said we have to give 100 percent to get the three points.” Milad Behgandom provided the ball to an on-rushing Horikoshi, who managed to beat the offside trap and fired the ball past Makapagal. Bugas gave ADT a lifeline with a 69th minute goal, but Kaya comfortably saw out the game. The post Kaya pips ADT, retakes top spot appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Gilas Women wary of Malaysia
Malaysia will be the biggest thorn in its path when Gilas Pilipinas Women squad shoots for its third straight gold medal in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games. Gilas coach Patrick Aquino admitted that they are now feeling the pressure of winning a SEA Games three-peat, especially now that the Malaysians are already in the thick of their preparation for their mission to reclaim the title. A 13-time gold medalist, Malaysia is serious in reclaiming the SEA Games glory. Since the inclusion of the event in 1977, the Malaysians have asserted their might in the same manner that the Filipinos dominated the men’s event with 18 gold medals. In the coming biennial meet in Phnom Penh, the Malaysians are training in Taiwan, where they are playing against top university squads, a strategy done by Aquino and the Gilas girls when they won the Southeast Asian Basketball Association Championship in 2016 in Malacca City in Malaysia. Headed by head coach Tarcy York, the Malaysian squad brought in 14 players composed of Yap Fook Yee, Pang Hui Pin, Chong Yin Yin, Magdalene Low Phey Chyl, Rajintiran Kalamaithi and Foo Suet Ying. Other members of the team include Hon Ai Wen, Toh Ke Hui, Tan Sin Jie, Saw Wei Yin, Carmen Chan, Tai Chia Qian, Chia Mun Yi and Lee Phei Ling. Two new additions in the coaching staff joined York in the Taiwan buildup: Tan Ee Shya, the head coach of the Selangor women’s team, and Adrian Wong, former assistant coach of the KL Dragons in the Asean Basketball League. The Malaysians went up against Jinou Girls High School, Pumen High School, Shih Hsin University, Nanhu High School, National Taiwan Normal University, Taiyuan and University of Taipei as they gear up their preparations for the biennial meet set from 5 to 17 May. “Malaysia and Indonesia went there in Taipei and competed against the teams that we faced seven years ago,” Aquino said, adding that winning the SEA Games gold medal is very important to the Malaysians. “That’s because Malaysia has a long running professional basketball league while, on the other hand, we don’t have a consistent basketball league program in the Philippines.” “Also, the women players in Malaysia are even more popular than their men counterparts. They’re more decorated than the men’s team because they’re the winningest team in the SEA Games.” The post Gilas Women wary of Malaysia appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
