Kudos to PAAD and its Sports Committee for this year's growth in teams participating in the Palaro league. You've done a great job in making this year another banner season. Chalk this up as another achievement in the long list of accomplishments in the area of Community Service.
And, of course, to all the Palaro participants, from the teams to their families, the audience and your followers (or fans) and everyone who stepped foot on a game day, thank you to all of you. As the Committee would say in very little words: "You've made "PALARO" what it is today - a great venue for Filipino-American sports, and more."
If you're wondering what this FORUM is about, well, wonder no more. This is about you and your voices, opinions, suggestions and comments. To keep this going, we've set certain rules for this blog:
- This is a MODERATED blog site. All inputs are welcome as long as they are done in a respectful manner. In short, this site is rated for GENERAL PATRONAGE - for all ages.
- Keep your words clean, wholesome and in a family-like manner.
- Keep it short and sweet, encouraging and uplifting. As Filipino-Americans, we need to be faithful to our Filipino heritage of "po" and "opo", "tito" or "tita", "kuya or ate"...I guess you get my drift.
- To promote transparency, you need to use an OpenID, or a simple nickname. We will discourage anonymity. So no "anonymous" inputs, please.
Ok....ready... set... BLOGGG!!!

Thanks,
PAAD Sports Committee
I see a blank page on the Teams section but you are saying there are 12 teams?
Will you publish the team line-ups soon?
Ganun din sa Game Schedule, wala naman mga teams on the schedule sheet.
Pwede bang malaman ang schedule ng games?
Maraming salamat po.
Team line ups will be published soon and game schedule will be published after the Opening Day. First set of diviosional games will be done via lottery at the Opening Day. (See League Rules)

Salamat po.

Tnx.

Dear Biboy,
Please send us an email at paadevents@yahoo.com as soon as you can. There might be a possibility that we maybe able to arrange something.
Jessica,
The address where the Palaro will be held is:
Police Athletic League
7259 Lancaster Pike (Route 41)
Hockessin, DE
PSC
Is this league only for men? Do you have a women's league?
Darlene

To PAAD:
Sana may volleyball for women in this Palaro. O kaya mixed volleyball, di ba?
Pwede bang mag-suggest for next year?
aileen
Can a group of 7 american men join this int'l tourney? We can't fill the 15 players for all the Saturdays.
By the way, is there an age limit?
There seem to be no restrictions in your rules.
Jordan
Pike Creek
Thank you for the address, PSC.
I followed the map on your website.
Jessica
Very nice!
Congrats to PAAD!
To Aileen,
I like the idea of a volleyball match. Kahit for fun only. I'm game if you are?
Sheila (NC)
Di ba pang-pinoy lang ang ligang ito?
Me too, I like to see a volleyball match. Can we start one?
Joanie
Hi,
We will also have a league in NYC. Your teams can also participate as our league starts August.
Also, can you refer us to your web person?
TY.
Jerry Abarca
I love love love this new website!! Lots of information about the palaro! Can't wait to go to the opening day! Kudos to the webmaster!!!
To Joanie, Sheila, and Aileen,
We will evaluate your recommendation of having a volleyball next time... next year perhaps?
PSC
If there's a volleyball league, will it be mixed or just men or women's only?
How do we join? I can't find any info about a volleyball league on your website.
As indicated in the above response from PSC, there is no volleyball tournament this year 2008. Now, if ever there will be another Palaro next year 2009, then whoever is on the organizing committee may evaluate the possibility of adding the game of volleyball as part of the sport tournament events. In case there will be, it's composition (male, female or mixed) must also be part of the decision making process.
to 2cute4u...
yeah J. Destreza is still with PHI.. if you need his contact info, just reply to this..
- PHI/Blue Devils
to Jerry Abarca,
How do we contact you in regards to the NY league.. which one is it anyways and which months do you run.. Can you give me your contact info? Thanks!
- PHI Blue Devils
Hey guys,
Just want to appreciate all the efforts of the Sports committee.
You really are raising the standards every year.
Also, this forum is great. Now, I can speak my mind.
Suggestions:
- Can there be a junior league for teens only? This way our kids can take part.
- Is ir poaaible to have a weeknight game, instead of an all-Saturday summer format?
- I also support the bloggers here who are suggesting a volleyball league. And to cater to all, make it mixed. Not everyone can play basketball.
Thanks for hearing me out and giving us a venue to speak.
'Love this. Kepp up the good work!
To PHI-Blue/Devils,
Are there two J Destreza's in PHI or this is just a typo error on the team line-up page?
If there are two, which "j" are you?
To 2cute4u,
Yes there are two of us. I'm J.C. Destreza and pippeng is my brother J.P. Destreza. How can we help you?
2cute4u - Who are you anyways??
This years league will be exciting. Especially with the addition of 5 new teams. Props to the PAAD Sports committee! You are the ones who makes it happen!!
Im a big fan of PAAD Palaro, I was never a bball player, but I am an avid basketball fan (go CELTICS!!). I havent missed a game yet! I believe this year will show a lot of intense competition. I believe the Redbulls are still capable of getting to the championship game despite losing their key players last year. WSA is stronger than ever with the addition of Jimmy and is almost guaranteed a spot in the finals. PHI Blue Devils is capable of beating anyone with the return of the leagues most talented player (in my opinion), Will Imperial. Too bad he was injured last year on his first game, PHI would have won it all if he was playing. Lets not forget Excel & TFC who played in the finals in FACAA. I cant wait for it all to start!
Hope everyone is safe and free from inuries this year. Mabuhay kayo lahat!
