Balik-Tanaw | The dissident love of Jesus
The readings for Palm Sunday begin with narrating the triumphant entry of Jesus and His disciples to Jerusalem. According to the story, Passover and the Feast of the Unleavened Bread is coming in two days’ time and a lot of Jews will go up to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast. As observant Jews, Jesus and his disciples came to Jerusalem in observance of the feast that will take place (John 12: 12-16; Mark 14:1-15). When they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus instructed his two disciples to go to a village where they will find an ass and to bring it to him. Jesus rode on the ass when he entered Jerusalem. The people accompanied him and they held palm branches while crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our Father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!’ (Mark 11:1-10). The post Balik-Tanaw | The dissident love of Jesus appeared first on Bulatlat......»»

Baseco drug peddlers netted
Operatives of the Manila Police District Police Station 13 arrested two suspected drug peddlers believed to be members of the “Batang City Jail” on Sunday morning at the Baseco Compound in Port Area, Manila. Police identified the suspects as King Banal and John Rongcales, both residents of Baseco Compound. They were arrested around 5 a.m. Sunday along Barangay 649 in Port Area. Reports disclosed that the arrest was made following a complaint filed by the barangay about the presence of illegal drug peddling in the area. Police conducted a test buy and then a buy-bust operation, where a police poseur buyer transacted with the suspects and led to their arrest. Confiscated from the suspects were one piece of P500 bill and five pieces of heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing white crystalline substance suspected to be shabu with an estimated weight of 5.3 grams worth P36,040. Cases for violations of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, are being prepared against the suspects and will be submitted to the Manila City Prosecutors Office for inquest proceeding.

The Philippines DoT doesn’t know
Here is something that should uplift our spirits following the scandalous copy-pasted video that cost the Department of Tourism a whopping P50 million. This comes free and already must be luring foreign tourists to the Philippines. Here’s the reason why, and it would be good if Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco takes note and harnesses these factual data released recently by Numbeo. According to Wikipedia, Numbeo is the biggest Internet database on the cost of living, housing indicators, and other information about cities and countries. Here are among the reasons why Secretary Frasco should celebrate and maybe think of just consigning that slogan to the garbage bin. Let me quote Numbeo verbatim in its midyear report on the 10 Cheapest Countries in the World to Live In: “If you are one of those people who want to escape the dreaded daily routine that you are stuck in, then currently the cheapest countries that offer affordable living in gorgeous scenery and amazing experiences are the Philippines, Portugal, Vietnam, South Africa, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Mexico, Indonesia, and Bulgaria. “The Philippines is filled with over seven thousand islands. Yes, you heard that right — seven thousand islands! It is known as a tropical paradise, and living in paradise doesn’t sound too bad now, does it? “Well, you can do that at very affordable prices if you are thinking about moving to the Philippines.” From the time we set foot in school, we had been taught and molded to love our native land. So not only is the DoT slogan so banal but it lacks the essentials of a slogan that would attract foreign tourists to the Philippines. Numbeo describes the Philippines as a tropical paradise. Secretary Frasco should take a hint from this and proceed to present to the world in living color why. Instead of promoting other countries’ sceneries at our expense, DoT personnel, including its regional offices, should be more creative, leave their air-conditioned offices and video-graph and take stock footage of the beautiful sceneries around the country that are veritable proof that indeed we are THE tropical paradise in this universe. Just an add-on: Davao City remains to be the most livable city in the Philippines with the lowest crime rate and cost of living index. To sum up, Davao is the safest city in the country. Three cities with the highest crime rates are found in Metro Manila and these are Manila, Quezon City and Makati. On this score, we give our snappy salute to our law enforcers. The Davao region on the whole has been declared insurgent-free. Davao City has varied mountain resorts and among the most famous beach resorts and dive sites, all within 30 minutes of your hotel. Davao City, too has several festivals that are real magnets for domestic and foreign tourists. This August we are celebrating the Kadayawan Festival which showcases the most colorful tribal ensembles, fruits and flowers in grand displays and parades. It is a celebration of the indigenous people of Davao City and is also participated in by various tribes of Mindanao. Now, you would wonder why despite all this wealth of unique sights and festivities, the Department of Tourism has not come out with even a bit of viable propaganda for the Kadayawan Festival. So how can one claim he or she loves the Philippines when she is not even aware of what is going on in this tropical paradise? If the DoT can spend millions for that shabby slogan and mediocre visuals maybe it can allocate time and funds to support local festivals. Despite the magma of criticism against Secretary Frasco, I personally believe she has what it takes to present to the world our country as indeed a tropical paradise because she loves the Philippines.

TNT bags title
Mikey Williams saved his best for last and carried TNT to a historic first-ever championship in the Philippine Basketball Association Governors' Cup as the Tropang Giga finished the best-of-seven championship Friday night with a 97-93 win over Barangay Ginebra. Williams put on a shooting clinic, hitting nine treys and finishing the game with 38 points as the Tropang Giga completed their date with the destiny of finally winning the season-ending tournament in front of 13,558 fans at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. While TNT captured its first Governors' Cup, head coach Jojo Lastimosa and Calvin Oftana also cherished the moment of winning the first championships of their respective careers. Winning a title right in his first conference as a mentor, Lastimosa joined the elite cast of coaches to win just in their maiden conference. His feat enabled him to join Narciso Bernardo (1984 First All-Filipino Conference, Crispa), Chot Reyes (1993 All-Filipino, Coney Island), Eric Altamirano (1997 All-Filipino, Purefoods), Ryan Gregorio (2002 Governors' Cup, Purefoods) and Joel Banal (2003 All-Filipino, TNT) as debuting tacticians who struck paydirt right away. Oftana, on the other hand, won his first championship as a PBA player. Plucked from NLEX in the mid-season in a trade involving top overall rookie pick Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser and veteran forward Troy Rosario, Oftana immediately became an impact player for the Tropang Giga. In Game 6, the Tropang Giga battled foul trouble in the early goings with Poy Erram and Calvin Oftana each nursing three fouls in the first half as Barangay Ginebra played with much sense of urgency and dictated the tempo, leading by as many as 11 points, 44-33, on Scottie Thompson's two free throws with 4:17 left before the half time break. But the first half was practically a one-man show for Mikey Williams, who torched the nets for 26 points and hit seven-of-12 shots from beyond the arc to keep the Tropang Giga in the thick of the fight. Williams' 26 points in the first half were the most by a local player in the first half since Game 2 of the best-of-seven championship series between TNT and Rain or Shine in the 2015 Commissioner's Cup when Jayson Castro pumped in 27 points. Castro, a seven-time PBA champion, is still playing for the Tropang Giga, but his role has diminished as the franchise's sixth man. A scoring champion two years ago, Williams, a Finals Most Valuable Player when TNT last won the title in the 2021 Philippine Cup, also had 26 points in the second half of TNT's 98-106 loss to Magnolia in Game 3 of their 2021 Philippine Cup best-of-seven championship series. Willaims had taken over in the first half as import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson acted more like a facilitator, giving the local players good looks to the basket. Hollis-Jefferson, the newly-minted Best Import, scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds, but could only make three of his 10 shots from the field in the first 24 minutes of play.
