Changemakers of tomorrow
PUP Hygears and UPHSD Altas Valor are vying for the Philippines at the Shell Eco-marathon in Lombok, Indonesia. The teams are part of a global network of student innovators working to create energy-efficient vehicles that reduce emissions and promote sustainability. Serge Bernal, vice president for corporate relations of Shell Pilipinas Corp., asks for the teams to look at this experience beyond the competition: “We at Shell Pilipinas are proud to support the next generation of innovators through programs like Shell Eco-marathon.” PUP Hygears’ vehicle Luna IV will be joining the Battery Electric Prototype category. The vehicle aims to reduce the amount of waste produced during the fabrication process by reusing and repurposing the materials used for their vehicle last year. This year, PUP Hygears is determined to bounce back from last year’s competition and to improve their performance. Altas Valor’s vehicle Avalon is joining the Urban Concept Internal Combustion category. Avalon is an automatic engine powered by Continuously Variable Transmission. It has a carbon fiber body with enhanced stock parts and an aluminum chassis. SEM 2023 runs at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit in Lombok until 9 July.

Acaylar repays Perpetual trust
University of Perpetual Help System Dalta coach Sammy Acaylar is repaying the trust given to him by leading the Altas to its third straight title in the men’s volleyball tournament of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Acaylar said the trust given to him by the school has never changed, inspiring him to work hard to lead the Altas to the NCAA title year in and year out. Since getting hired in 1984, Acaylar led Perpetual to a 13 NCAA crowns to tie with Letran College for the most number of championships in the country’s oldest collegiate league. “My goal every year is for Perpetual to win. This is for the Perpetual community and for the Tamayo family,” said Acaylar, expressing gratitude to the family of Perpetual owner Dr. Antonio Tamayo. “I’m not thinking about getting the best coach or any individual awards. The only thing that is on my mind is winning.” With Acaylar, who was part of the coaching staff of the team that won the country’s last gold medal in the women’s volleyball event of the Southeast Asian Games in 1993, at the helm, the Altas were unstoppable. They swept the eliminations to gain an outright spot in the best-of-three finals against San Beda University, who survived the grueling step-ladder phase. The Altas won Game 1, 25-20, 25-16, 25-22 but the Red Spikers froze the series at 1-1 after registering a 17-25, 25-27, 25-22, 25-13, 15-11 win, snapping the Altas’ 32-game winning streak dating back to 19 February 2018. But in Game 3 last Sunday, Perpetual pulled off a 25-21, 25-20, 22-25, 25-22 win to finally complete the coveted three-peat behind Season 98 league and Finals Most Valuable Player Louie Ramirez, Jeff Marapoc, Michael Medalla and KC Andrade, JC Eneraciso and libero Philip Pepito. Acaylar said it’s discipline and dedication that fuels Perpetual to win aside from the school pride that is synonymous to winning. “We have three D’s: discipline, determination and dedication. I even added hard work and commitment to our values and that’s why we’re intact,” Acaylar, who also emerged as Coach of the Year, said. “We would easily get recruits because whenever people mention Perpetual, it’s associated with men’s volleyball.” The post Acaylar repays Perpetual trust appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Benilde seals perfect season
College of Saint Benilde crushed Lyceum University of the Philippines, 25-19, 25-11, 25-20, to retain the Season 98 National Collegiate Athletic Association women’s volleyball crown via sweep yesterday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan. The Game 2 victory in the best-of-three series was the Lady Blazers’ 29th stretching back to January 2020 and was made possible by the precious contributions of Gayle Pascual, who hit 15 points, and Finals Most Valuable Player Jade Gentapa, who had 13. Also making her presence felt was Cloanne Mondonedo, who had 23 excellent sets. The win, which culminated its perfect season, allowed Saint Benilde to hold a double celebration as it was also head coach Jerry Yee’s 49th birthday. “Honestly, this championship was harder. We had a few five-set games along the way and we had to adjust,” said Yee, who gave the school its third league title. “I’m happy that in the end, we were able to get the championship,” he added. Johna Dolorito was the only Lady Pirate to score in double digits with 11 points. Meanwhile, San Beda University clawed out of a 0-2 hole for a 17-25, 25-27, 25-22, 25-23, 15-11 win over University of Perpetual Help System Dalta in Game 2 of the men’s volleyball tournament. Kenrod Umali and rookie Ralph Cabalsa both scored 19 points each as the Red Spikers snapped the Altas’ 32-game winning streak that started back in Game 2 of the Season 93 Finals against Arellano University on 19 February 2018. Both San Beda and Perpetual will play for all the marbles on Sunday in the same San Juan venue. Red Spikers head coach Ariel de la Cruz said the team’s positive mindset despite the odds proved vital. “It has to start with me. I have to motivate them and elevate them so that whatever mistake that happens, we work together and fix it,” De la Cruz said. “It starts when you enter the court with a smile and enjoy the game.” San Beda started the fifth set with a 6-2 lead and never looked back as Cabalsa fired an off-the-block kill for the win. Season 98 MVP Louie Ramirez led the way for the losers with 32. An awarding ceremony took place before the matches kicked off with individual awards being given to the tournament’s other top performers. John Benedict San Andres of Mapua University was hailed as the 1st Best Outside Spiker while Emilio Aguinaldo College’s Joshua Ramilo took home the 2nd Best Outside Spiker award. Letran College’s Vinze Himzon won both Rookie of the Year and 1st Best Middle Blocker awards while Jethro Cabillan of Arellano University took the 2nd Best Middle Blocker award. Adrian Villados of the Chiefs was hailed as the Season 98 Best Setter with Perpetual’s Joshua Zareno taking the Best Opposite Spiker plum and Lawrence Briones of EAC getting the Best Libero honors. In the women’s tournament, Mary Rhose Dapol was hailed as both the MVP and the 1st Best Outside Spiker of Season 98 with teammates Shaila Omipon and Marian Anday picked the Rookie of the Year and Best Libero, respectively. Gentapa likewise took home the 2nd Best Outside Spiker while teammate Pascual got the tournament’s Best Opposite Spiker title. Lyceum team captain Venice Puzon picked up her second Best Setter diadem with fellow Lady Pirate Jaja Tulang voted as the 2nd Best Middle Blocker. Arellano’s Trina Abay took home the 1st Best Middle Blocker award. The post Benilde seals perfect season appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

Scottie would have loved one more year with Bright and Prince
All those playoff exits at the hands of San Beda University still pains Scottie Thompson. “Lahat-lahat,” he answered when asked in The Prospects Pod which of University of Perpetual Help’s Final Four losses to the Red Lions hurt the most. “Nasira pangarap naming lahat eh.” Despite bowing out to the red and white in three of his five years as an Alta, however, the 6-foot-1 playmaker said his most painful defeat actually came from Colegio de San Juan de Letran. “Actually, hindi San Beda yung pinakamasakit,” he shared. “Yung pinakamasakit is yung last year ko. Non-bearing na sa Letran tapos may bearing sa amin, dapat papasok kami ng Final Four pag manalo kami.” Thompson was talking about the wine and gold’s last elimination round assignment in NCAA 91 - a closely contested season that saw six squads all have a shot at the Final Four. Before that game, Perps stood at joint third at 11-6 and a win would have staked claim to the fourth and final playoff berth, thereby closing the door on Mapua University, Jose Rizal University, and Arellano University. On the other hand, the Knights had already clinched a top two finish - though they were still in a dead heat for the top-seed with archrival San Beda. In the end, Letran triumphed. In the end, Perpetual stood on the outside looking into the playoff picture. And in the end, that was the former MVP’s last game in the NCAA. “Dahil dun sa talong yun, hindi kami nakapasok ng Final Four sa mismong last year ko pa. Hindi ko makakalimutan yun,” he said. Even more, that Altas team was fully loaded as aside from Thompson, it had future MVPs Bright Akhuetie and Prince Eze. If only he had one more go-round, the now-27-year-old has no doubt that he, Akhuetie, and Eze would be back with a vengeance come Season 92. “Siguro, kung nabigyan pa ako ng isang chance na makasama sila, may chance kaming makabawi. Isang year lang kaming nagkasabay eh,” he said. He then continued, “Kulang lang ng isang taon. Siguro, kung isang taon pa, baka sakali lang.” A Scottie Thompson completely comfortable with Bright Akhuetie and Prince Eze? That sounds like a recipe for success for Perpetual and a recipe for disaster for the rest of the league. —— Follow this writer on Twitter, @riegogogo......»»
Scottie Thompson sees his spirit still living on in current Perpetual Altas
Even this early in his basketball career, Scottie Thompson may very well be the greatest player that University of Perpetual Help has produced. After leading the Altas' contention and winning MVP in the NCAA, the 6-foot-1 all-around weapon now has four championships and one Finals MVP under his belt with Ginebra in the PBA. For sure, he has set the standard for what Perps wants and needs from its main man. Fortunately for Las Pinas, Thompson sees himself in more than a few young talents donning the wine and gold. "Sina Razon, Peralta, sila talaga yung nakikita ko sarili ko dati. Talagang nakikita ko sa dalawang yun yung sobrang kayod, puro hard work yung puhunan," he said in The Prospects Pod. Jielo Razon is a 5-foot-11 guard who continued improving in his sophomore season while Tonton Peralta is a 6-foot-2 swingman who opened eyes in his rookie year. Those two, alongside Ben Adamos and Kim Aurin, comprise the core Perpetual hopes to ride back to the Final Four. And all of them, just like Thompson, do not necessarily do flashy and fancy things. Instead, they just do whatever it takes to help the Altas - you know, very much akin to how "Mr. Triple-Double" plays. Because of that, Thompson is only excited about what lies ahead for them - if and only if they keep at it. "Yung future nila, feeling ko magiging successful din sila basta magtuloy-tuloy lang sila. Huwag silang magbago kasi yun lang naman ang puhunan e, hard work," he said. He then continued, "At saka faith kay God. Yun lang naman pinaka-best armor mo sa career mo." --- Follow this writer on Twitter, @riegogogo......»»
