Create hope in the world
This year’s theme in celebration of Daily Tribune’s 23rd year is “Forging The Future” and I have been asked to share my thoughts. On this note, it struck me that this resonates with “Create Hope in the World,” Rotary International’s theme for 2023-24. Both themes aspire to inspire people to forge ahead and look to tomorrow with hope despite all the hardships we face, whether man-made or wrought by nature. Suffering and wretchedness have different endless faces. Poverty. Hunger. Thirst. Homelessness. Gender Discrimination. Inequality. Mental Health. Pandemic. Climate Change. Pollution. War. Lawlessness. Corruption. Inevitably, all of us face suffering in one form or another. This unfortunately is humanity’s destiny. But fortunately, it is also our humanity that will allow man to cope and overcome. As for me, I need not look too far back in my past when tragedy struck my family with the passing of the love of my life, Eliza, due to the merciless rampage of Covid throughout the globe which forever changed the lives of millions of people. But somehow by the grace of the Almighty and the love of family and friends, I have managed to emerge from the darkness of grief to bask in the sunlight of the goodness of humanity. With my recent election as President-Elect of the Rotary Club of Makati, one of the oldest and largest in the country, together with my co-Rotarians, we have been given the opportunity to provide modest help as our club comes face-to-face regularly with underprivileged communities from Luzon to Mindanao that are being suffocated by a myriad of needs and desperately seek succor from wherever help might be forthcoming. Our club has been blessed with meaningful resources and a membership that unhesitatingly always steps up when tapped to provide assistance to the needy. Our club has been engaged in various community and upliftment projects throughout our 58 years of history, such as polio eradication, nourishment to the young, water for the thirsty, disaster relief, medical missions, shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry, coral reef regeneration, livelihood support, and vocational skills training. But the little we have accomplished is but a pebble in the sand. There is more to be done. We hope to do more. Together let us create hope in the world. Until next week … OBF!

ForMontano, investing in a corner lot at Tivoli Royale was a game-changing decision that he’ll never regret.

Yet, Tivoli Royale isn’t just about basketball; the lush green terrain and scenic views of the hills of Antipolo and Marikina Valley are a sight to behold. And, with a family-oriented environment that promotes a healthy and happy lifestyle, it’s the perfect place for families to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and bask in the tranquility of nature.

WHAT IF Marck Espejo played for DLSU?
We all know what Marck Espejo brought to Ateneo when he donned the Blue Eagles jersey in the UAAP. He led the blue and white to three straight titles in five consecutive Finals appearances in indoor volleyball and captured Ateneo’s first and so far lone championship in beach volleyball. As a player, Espejo achieved a feat difficult to surpass if not replicate. A Rookie of the Year award, five straight Most Valuable Player honors aside from other individual accolades. The Marikina pride even registered the league’s most points in a game with 55 during his last tour of duty with the Blue Eagles in Season 80. Espejo’s impact left a lasting imprint not only to the Blue Eagles but also to the entire league. Arguably, his persona could even also be attributed to the renewed popularity of men’s volleyball in the country which for years failed to bask in the same limelight enjoyed by women’s play. Indeed, Ateneo found a precious gem in Espejo. But what if Espejo decided to take his talents to a different school? Let’s say, De La Salle University. After all the green and white was actually one of Espejo’s options heading into college. [Related story: DID YOU KNOW? Marck Espejo almost played for DLSU] If Espejo played for the Green Spikers, he would definitely be a game changer. The Ateneo-National University championship rivalry wouldn’t have happened. Instead, it would’ve been the Bulldogs and Green Spikers duking it out for the crown during Espejo’s UAAP stint. “Kung sa amin siya naglaro panigurado malaki ‘yung impact sa team namin kasi alam naman natin si Marck malakas talaga siya kahit buong team kaya niyang dalhin,” former DLSU setter and now assistant coach Geuel Asia told ABS-CBN Sports. Asia, who played for the Green Spikers from Season 75 to Season 79, added that he’s very familiar with Espejo's game as they were teammates when the National Capital Region ruled the 2012 Palarong Pambansa in Lingayen, Pangasinan. “So malakas ang impact niya sa DLSU kung sakali. Power and mind maglaro si Marck so malaki ang matutulong niya sa DLSU,” said the former national team playmaker and Espejo's Cignal HD Spikers teammate. "Fit din siya sa system. Kahit na anong sistema aayon sa kanya, magiging comfortable siya." In fact, with him on board DLSU in Season 76, the Green Spikers might have even gotten a trip to the Final Four. The Green Spikers, who finished third n Season 75, were eliminated by Adamson University in the playoff for no. 4 spot the following season. Imagine Espejo adding more firepower to DLSU, which already had Season 75 MVP Red Christensen, Raymark Woo, Aaron Calderon, Ralph Calasin and Philip Cerveza. “Sobrang lakas talaga kung nangyari ‘yung ganun. Kasi yun din time na yun malakas si Woo eh,” said Asia. With Espejo, who was second in scoring in his rookie year and was in the top 10 in spiking, blocking, service and digs, DLSU might not even need to go to the playoff for a semis spot. Heck, the Green Spikers might even land at no. 2 - just like how Espejo led Ateneo into the Finals in Season 76 to face NU – considering that Christensen, Woo and Cerveza that year were consistently producing big numbers and contributing well on defense. Of course, that team would still find it difficult to surpass the powerhouse Peter Torres-led Bulldogs in the championship. But at least that would’ve given DLSU the much-needed championship experience. Let’s say Woo didn’t suffer a knee injury during the pre-season while playing in a ligang labas that forced him to sit out year, then DLSU would have remained a solid contender in Season 77. There might even have been the possibility that the Green Spikers ended a decade-long title-drought that year as they would have been parading an experienced and solid lineup composed of Espejo, Woo, setters Brendon Santos and Asia, libero Jopet Movido, Calderon, Christensen, Mike Frey, Arjay Onia, Cris Dumago and Calasin. The possibility of DLSU winning another title or two in the next three seasons with Espejo at the helm might not be far from reality. But then of course Season 80 would be a different story. That year the Green Spikers would’ve parted ways with most of its veterans leaving Espejo, Onia, Dumago and Frey leading a young team piloted by third year setter Wayne Marco. Even if DLSU did manage to crawl its way back into the Finals in Espejo’s last year, it would be extremely difficult to hurdle the Bulldogs parading a tall and very talented crew led by ace hitter Bryan Bagunas, Kim Malabunga, Madzlan Gampong, James Natividad, Francis Saura, setter Kim Dayandante and libero Ricky Marcos. But then again, a DLSU squad bannered by Espejo in the UAAP would have definitely been a sight to behold. Too bad we could only imagine the what ifs. --- Follow this writer on Twitter, @fromtheriles.....»»
