The place was packed, as guests to the exclusive event came to enjoy “a breather,” as the invitation said. The media organization’s partners, old and new, came to wish the Daily Tribune more success and long years ahead. Gratitude filled the air for all the triumphs and lessons of the past year, which culminated with a 170-page anniversary supplement. This was meaningfully put into words in a prayer that said, “We are grateful for the vision, commitment and steady leadership of our president, Willie Fernandez, and the dedication of our entire team to propel Daily Tribune to where it is today. “Bless every member of the Daily Tribune family with renewed strength and inspiration to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. Forgive us for any transgression committed as we carried out our tasks. “Fill our hearts with compassion for all that we’ve gone through and everything that we hope for.” Acoustic music by Ace Yabut entertained early arrivals before ace host Kevin Lapeña led everyone through quick review of how the Daily Tribune had grown through the past five years under the new management. Indeed, “crossing its second decade in the Philippine media industry was a turning point for Daily Tribune, as a global pandemic demanded a wider approach to delivering news and views to an ever-developing market of readers. The company took a challenge and soared with it — never stopping for a minute. This year, the Daily Tribune continued to grow its reach. From print alone in 2000 to print with online presence some years after that, Daily Tribune in 2018 beefed up its website and added social media channels like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The times called for a change in the way the company delivered its content, challenging it to step up its game. Daily Tribune led the way in developing content for Facebook and YouTube, creating different shows that expanded and synergized with stories in its print medium. Its tie-up with broadcast company RJ completed the circle to make it an Omnimedia company. Still, the print medium is not left behind. The newspaper is going from strength to strength — with anniversary issues getting thicker and thicker each year. Daily Tribune’s much-talked about tabloid Dyaryo Tirada is going from purely online to having print copies soon. From trending reels on Tiktok to Threads, and who knows what’s to come, Daily Tribune continues its journey to the peak!

Philippines-Korea are 'new and old school' basketball says Ratliffe
For someone who is neither Filipino or South Korean — by birth that is — Ricardo Ratfliffe sure has a pretty unique relationship with the two eternal Asian basketball rivals. After more than half a decade of playing as an import for the Korean Basketball League, Ratfliffe found himself in the PBA, playing a couple of stints for the Star Hotshots in back-to-back Commissioner's Cups. Ratliffe's PBA stints ended up being short, as he eventually got naturalized to play for the South Korean national team. Exposed to the basketball style of two different countries, Ratliffe says that there's a distinct contrast between the Philippines and South Korea. "I think the style of play in the Philippines is more like American style. It's more flashy and entertaining. I feel like you guys are going with the evolution," Ratliffe said on a recent appearance on 2OT with PBA broadcasters Magoo Marjon and Carlo Pamintuan. "In Korea, I think it's more of an old school style. People don't go out of their element. The Philippines is more like new school and I think Korea is more old school," he added. In about three years as a national team member, Ratliffe has become part of the ongoing Philippines-South Korea basketball saga. Ratliffe has two signature moments so far, the first was in the 2018 Asian Games when his squad took down a Gilas Pilipinas team led by Jordan Clarkson. [Related: Before 2018 Asiad meeting, Clarkson and Ratliffe actually go way back] The second came on the final day of the 2019 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers. Ratliffe willed Korea to win a non-bearing road game against Lebanon, with the victory becoming the help the Philippines needed to advance to the World Championships. As if he wasn't popular enough among Filipino fans, that Korea win made Ratliffe all the more appreciated in the Philippines. "I think I had like about a thousand DMs [on Instagram]," Ratliffe recalled. "Right after the game I posted the Philippine flag with a heart on my story, so that everyone knew I was going out there to give it my all and I did. I thought I played decent, I didn't play my best game but I gave it my best," he added. [Related: Gilas has nemesis Korea to thank for FIBA World Cup berth] While he's become a legend in his own right in South Korea, Ratliffe says he won't hesitate to take his talents back to the PBA if given the chance in the future. Ratliffe never played a full conference with the Hotshots, but his arrivals always did boost the team. "I think it was a match made in heaven [with the Hotshots]," Ratliffe said. "I'm appreciative of the organization, the fans, and the whole country. If I didn't get the [Korean] passport, I'm going to the Philippines every season after I'm done with Korea until I retire. That was my plan," he added. — Follow this writer on Twitter, @paullintag8.....»»
