Take a bow, Palaro 2008 Bloggers!
I guess, a pat in the back is in order to all the “Palaro bloggers”, who, in one way or another, had contributed their fare share of thoughts in the last entry by Mr. Arcilla about TFC being a formidable team.
I salute you all for coming out and speaking your mind!
Although the comment 'counters' reflect a count of some 92 comments (the highest, so far, in all the entries), the actual visits to Mr. Arcilla’s observation article has notched a total of 1,400-plus unique visits in a span of just 7 calendar-days.
Wow!!! That is one awesome feat for a community basketball league like Palaro!!
However, I also want to point out, that although we got huge visits at this forum, less than a hundred of you “bloggers” are outspoken. That means, 92% of our readers are “silent” observers. I’m sure they’re just waiting for the right moment to jump in and be part of the fray. Let’s wait and see.
My Palaro Blog Honor Roll:
As your moderator, I would like to give credit and appreciation to all of you. However, like in any forum, some will stand out and for that I will credit them as my first Top Ten bloggers. Again, the list below is based only on my opinion, the PSC has nothing to do with the honorees below. You may agree or disagree, and that’s ok, as long as we respect each one’s opinion.
Drum roll, please……Top Ten Palaro Bloggers, are……..!
1. Dexter Allen Fernandez Liga – I have to admit, Dexter’s comments created quite a stir on this blog. But I have to give Dexter the top honors for his BREVITY and HONESTY. Why? Among the bloggers, including myself, you are the first one who was not afraid to identify himself by his full name.
2. Herb Monsalud – I call him the “Gentleman Blogger”. Like Dexter, he came out unafraid of his real name. But more importantly, he acknowledged all the accolades (as well as the negative comments) accorded to GK Warriors. His gesture of sheer gratefulness speaks well of the character of GK players.
3. "not Rudelikeyou" – I call this guy, the Blog Police. While his comments are strong, he will not allow “trash talking” inside this blog. Makes my job easier. So beware bloggers.
PS: By the way, both Dexter and notRudelikeyou fprgave each other and had
a happy ending.
4. SinobaKuya? – The Funny Blogger. His blog name alone makes me laugh because I happen to know the private joke behind his monicker. I suspect he is Joel Valenciano’s biggest fan (and relative?). Haha (joke lang, Joel)
5. "Proudpinoy76" and "John" – The Drumbeaters. Both this two bloggers started to change the focus of the entry from TFC to GKW.
6. "Observer" – The Blog Scout. He seem to have scouted all the teams in the league and gives his opinion about their strengths. Good job observer.
7. "Abnoy81" – The Conscience Blogger. “Abnoy” is a Tagalog slang for the English word – abnormal. He may have an abnormal name but his thoughts clearly stirred my conscience. Remember his comments: “As kababayans, we need to value and respect each others "clean" opinions.”
8. “Anonymous ofJuly 9, 2008 8:38 AM” and "Mackoy" – The Matchup Duo. These two bloggers started matching Palaro Players and Teams to the closest NBA counterparts. And who’s David Stern, again? Haha…
9. “Tagapangalaga” – The certified Blog Addict. He must be solely responsible for increasing the forum PAGE HITS. He’s always checking the blog all day.
10. “Norman” – The Loyal Pinoy. I think he should be Pinoy’s encourager in this blog. Kumpare yata ni Marlowe si Norman? What do you think?
So there you go, my first Top Ten Palaro Blog Honor Roll. (Parang mahaba yata ‘yon!) Watch out for next week’s Top Ten bloggers. And please, if by chance you know them, kindly congratulate them for me.
By the way, for those who are using Nicknames in the blog, you've got to identify yourself in full to receive your small token.
Kita-kits sa Palaro this Saturday!!
God bless.

if TITANS win..they'll get a 4-0 record going to week5 opponent. Win or loss..has a better chance of being in the playoffs.
***if Titans win on sat..and loss on week 5.
TFC loss on sat..and win on week 5
there will be a 3-Way TIE for 1st place between TFC/Titans and PHI

"WIN or GO HOME"
Wala Sa Ayos 2-1 VS Red Bulls 2-1
***Winner will take the #2 spot behind GKW and loser might have a hard time bouncing back and get a playoff spot.Who knows.

Do the Talking.. make it mo excitin
Hello to all bloggers! Bagong salta po ko dito sa DE and I really enjoy watching these basketball games. Feeling ko nasa Pinas pa din ako ;) Kakamiss yung mga liga sa kanto.
Anyway, I just want to express my observation on the game between GK Warriors and Pinoy las Saturday. I can't help but noticed that Pinoy pulled a dirty game last Saturday. It's definitely too rough and too physical. I am pretty sure that I was not the only one who observed this. A lot of people were so adamant on the way Pinoy team conducted their game. Sobra naman ang paniniko at pananakit nyo. For the moderator, Di ko po sure kung ipa publish nyo to or hindi but I just hope that you will. Dahil marami po ang gustong magparating sa Pinoy na hindi naman tama ang strategy nila to win. OK lang manalo or matalo pero sana naman e sa magandang paraan lahat. We should uphold the vision and mission of PAAD at all times if possible. PINOY, we hope na wag naman ganito kadumi ang laro nyo sa mga susunod na games nyo. There's still hope in you guys!
Kudos to GK players na tinatawanan lang at tinitiis ang mga tira at garapalang pananakit.
Yun lang po at maraming salamat.
See you all next week.
this is just my legit observations and don't wanna offend anyone. But I believe it will make this blog interestin
I think we just proved to everyone how formidable our team is. TFC baby! When we trashed off Healing Water last saturday, no offense but we beat them big time.. am i right?
This comin game against Delaware Titans who luckily enjoying being unbeaten in three games, same with US, will have the same result like what we did to the Healing Water team.. maybe a little closer ayt? and this time I will make all OUR critics believe that WE deserve respect. By winning it all.
So it doesn't matter who are the teams we will be facing or who are the Stars on that team. Bottom line you guys just need to beat us if ever you'll have a chance.
From what I read, the highest scorer of Delaware Titans last game was Mr.#01 Jesse with 11points, that was a little low if u want to have a crack on us.
And lastly I understand and believe now? that Imperial is the Kobe Bryant of the league, not because he plays like KB24 aint, a little maybe like keeping the ball away from his team mates even he is being double teamed , forcing the shots and not trusting his team mates , oh yeah what to trust for?
They just got lucky they win over IBC
and to the GK Warriors. hope we could play you guys as early as next week so everyone can see who are they messin with
just sayin my opinion people
Lets play
to WALA
WHAT HAPPEND TO THE GKW/PINOY GAME? UPDATE PLEASE
To D/League... GK Warriors are not messing with anyone!!! They are a humble team with a cause...you can't be proud beating a team with wide margin than beating a better team.. so play your best if you want to beat GK BTW you have to beat Titans which i predict will prevail against your team!
Titans fan..
To d/league, hwag naman nating daanin sa payabangan ang laro natin. It's not just luck that brought Titans to this stage, it's teamwork and hard work. Even if Jesse scores just 11 points in a game, it doesn't matter as long as everyone on the team contributes to the total team score, right?
Remember, the Tatangs, is a team to beat. If you just rely on luck to win this league then I suggest you pray a lot now bro!
As for respect, you don't ask for it. It will be accorded to you IF you deserve it.
just sayin my opinion peeps, ayt?
Go for the ultimate win Titans!!!
To PAAD Sports Comm and webmaster,
Thanks for your reply. I'll bring portable fans next time ha ha..
Would you please create a new entry after every game so that bloggers like us can post comments about the results and the team?? It's just so interesting to share thoughts after every game you know. Thanks.
In response to wala...
Actually di madumi ung laro ng Pinoy nung Sabado. Tingin ko mataas lang talaga ang intensity ng defense nila. Physical defense lang talaga. Nagh-hard fouls din naman ang GKW e, tapos ang narinig ko lang sa kanila e, "You got to do what you got to do...". Physical lang talaga ung laro.
I'm just saying the Truth Baby.. Titans beating US is just a Dream. Just check it out on Saturday
I'm afraid if anyone on the Titans roster can score double figures on us.
I doubt it
chill
Respons to Wala...
Agree po ako, sa comment nyo about the game between GKW and Pinoy. Medyo it was a bit rough for my taste. Kahit pa sabihin nila (Pinoy) na intense defense, I think hindi maitatago na umulan ng siko 'yong last game. Sana lang yung PSC po eh called the attention of the refs to check on unwanted actions. Di magandang example sa mga kabataan that they can get away with it.
To D/league...
Kailangan ba talagang tambakan ng 50+points ang HW to prove a point? Tingin ko overkill, and based sa quotient rule hindi naman nag-gain ang team nyo. Dapat sana hindi na pinaboran ng Sports Comm ang TFC, yan tuloy ang yabang ng dating ninyo. So ang point ko lang sa PSC, please don't play favorites. Salamat po, and like D/league, I'm just speaking my mind. No offense to anyone.
To the moderator, I hope i-publish nyo naman yung comment ko, this is my third comment and I haven't seen anything yet on the blog.
I also agree with the commenter "Palaro2008." Gawa naman ng blog about the game, hindi kung ano-anong award.
Yun lang po.
to TheBarellingBigJ
We are not after the Q points. thats how we play baby. it aint change anything. we will be #1 in the end.
wait and relax
thanks
to d/league, you ain't #1 yet, stop gloatin honey! if you loose in the next game, you can't save face!
To the moderator...
Thanks for publishing my comments. I promise to keep it civil. Salamat po.
To D/league...
My friend, your cockiness will swing the balance against you. Mark my words. Your team may exude the most talented lot, but geez, the arrogance is just so distasteful. Can't believe your team allows such attitude.
We will be behind the Titans this time. Whether your team wins or lose, you won't gain our respect.
Go TITANS!
To Wala…
Thank you for watching us last Saturday. Your presence is highly appreciated. I just want to clarify some things regarding that game, it was very intense and both teams are so passionate of winning. Me personally, I DON’T think that PINOY are dirty players. Their defense was superb. I was knocked down on the floor but it doesn’t mean that they did it intentionally (It was a good defense). Yes, there were some calls that the referee, in my opinion, was in favor of them but I also saw a call were are team was favored. This is just my personal opinion. Thank you once again for watching us.
To d/league….
This is just my opinion.
Yes, you have a legit observation. Your score was fantastic. Just a question, how many score do you need to have to prove to others that you are very formidable team? And Yes….you destroy Healing Water inside the court but I do have more respect with them because even thou there is a wide difference on the score, Healing Water didn’t stop playing and their fans didn’t stop cheering. After the game, I observed that they have more happiness in their face compare to same players who just won the game. I admire them for that.
Gawad Kalinga Warriors still have two games to play. These teams are very supreme team in my opinion. We do have respect with them. I’m very please that you even think that GKW will even be in the finals. I thank you for that. I personally think from my observation that your team is much younger and faster than the TITANS but my heart and my support is with the TITANS because I do know them personally, they are my friends and they have the experience inside and outside the court that some young team may be lacking.
If we are blessed enough to be in the finals, I can assure you that GKW’s players especially our “POWER EIGHT WARRIORS” will there to play with all their hearts to give our family and fans to proud of.
Good Luck to you and to your team.
thebarrelingbigJ, I agree with you 100%!
Let's support Delaware Titans! All the way men!!
Cheers!
i wanna apologize for the comments from "d/league".. i'm not sure if d/league is even one of our players or not.. however i'll still talk to our team and make sure that no comments like that come from any of us..
Titans won a close game last week due to a shorthanded SFC team. The referees were also not giving them any calls. From what I saw if SFC had their big man #12 they would have pulled it off. Don't get me wrong the Titans are a good team but how do you struggle against playing 6 players? At the end SFC was just too tired without the help off the bench.
To The barellingbigj,
You just made a serious accusation that the Palaro Sports Committee is playing favorites. Please identify yourself by sending us an email of your allegations at paadevents@yahoo.com
In addition, we can discuss your allegations face to face this coming Saturday at PAL. Just identify yourself to us, and we will give you all the respect and time to hear what you want to say.
We consider your opinion i.e. accusations as a serious matter and it has to be resolved ASAP, for the sake of the league.
Also, we were informed by TFC management just now that that the blogger identified as "D/League" is not a TFC player. They said that they will issue a statement in this regard.
In order to mitigate this type of circumstance in the future, some validation steps for bloggers maybe required.
Again, this BLOG was not created to spread animosity to all of us!!!
to TheBarellingBigJ/Wala:
Wala naman akong nakitang madumi dun sa laro namin nung sabado with GK. We as a team didn't want to hurt anyone, we just wanted to play hard kasi we know they're one of the better teams (if not the best) in the league. It was a physical game but it was never dirty. Tingin ko it's not bad to show kids how to play hard and with intensity.
to all the teams especially with important games ahead (Delaware Titans, TFC Mainline, Redbulls and WSA)
Just play your game and give your best.
Don't let some people affect your game.
everyone is a winner
Pinoy Tayu Lahat
FYI! at least madaming fans ang titans. :D im actually a big fan of #01. ;) a very good player! <3 soo good luck titans! also PHI! go all the wayyy babyyy! :) and shoutout to manila bay! u guys r cool! =D u know im a fan. LOL! as for healing water! cool rin kau! i like u guys. <3
peaceee! :)
To bj;
huwg nang nag deny, aminin! ;)
peace men
To Mr. Barellingbigj,
I was the one who wrote the article about TFC. The intent of the article is not to favor TFC. They were just made as a typical example of what a team should have i.e. teamwork. An attribute that other teams such as WSA and etc already have. Please read the whole article, especially the bottom half.
I would like to apologize to you and to all if my article may had been misconstrued that I am "playing favorites" as stated by you and possibly by some. Favoritism is synonymous to "questionable integrity" in my book.
I would really want to discuss this with you personally on Saturday. I am not asking for an apology, as you seem to indicate. In fact, it is me, who want to apologize to you. You can email me at art.arcilla@yahoo.com, and I hope we could meet.
"your mama said your mama said"
I LOVE YOU!
so spread the love brother!
Monday na...
Ilang tulog na lang, we will find out who is really better, Titans or the controversial TFC.
In my opinion, Titans players can easily match against TFC but based from the past few games, they lack the aggressiveness and probably their offense play is not that good yet. I was actually disappointed on how they played on the past three games. Titans got a bunch of talented and experienced players but somehow they just could not connect or deliver.
Titans may have the advantage (again in my opinion) but if they can’t get their play together pretty sure TFC will win.
Sa Saturday, I’m guessing at least 5 points ang lamang ng TFC.
So good luck Titans and prove me wrong!!
Last game with the Pinoys and GKW?
Man, I think that was the roughest game I played. I know basketball is a physical game but it’s not UFC. I applaud their determination to win but not to the extent that could hurt players. Compared with the other games against Red Bulls and Origlio, we got more players that got hurt and complained. I myself had a couple of scratches, bumps and I can still feel the pain on my knee. I just don’t understand why their intentional foul (to stop the clock) need to hurt. Man, I think just holding the player would do the trick rather than slapping hard.
Again it’s a game, no serious injuries and we are not holding any grudge on the Pinoys but that was what happened. I even overheard the refs discussing the game and shared the same opinion.
Big kudos to the GKW coach and team captain for able to handle the situation.
BTW nice game, HW. Most likely a lot of people would be angered on TFC on how they slaughtered HW. But come to think of it, it was actually a good game, not for TFC but for HW. TFC showed their respect on HW by giving their best. GKW had the same experience and that’s how we learned our lesson. Next year, watch out for HW.
To PSC
Just wondering if you can post the average age per team.
It will be nice to know the stats.
to anonymous July 13, 2008 7:44 PM
shorthanded or not, titans still won! and that's the goal of the game!
to d/league (whoever you may be), the titans team doesn't need to have a 2 digit lead to win a game, 1 point is all it takes... just ONE point. remember that!
go tatangs!!! i "heart" titans! :)
mabuhay ang mga pilipino!! peace out brother!
So if not Dex from TFC, who is d/league? Mr. Scribbs, would you be able to tell us what location "d/league" was from by comparing the FEEDJIT stats to the time of his comments?
I am a bit iffy on who that really was. The comments he made are targeting the same teams/players from Dexter Allen's previous comment. However, Dexter coming out with a annoucement proves it somewhat otherwise. Well it is so sad what that person did. Whoever you are, I hope you regret what you have done as you find yourself hiding from the shame you brought upon yourself. I hope you will find that it was unnecessary.
Lets all be eaceful from now on.
To Wala,
Hindi nga nag-reklamo ang mga GK players. At least sinabi mo na kararating mo lang dito kaya hindi mo na-observe ang mga previous games. For the last 3-4 years na nagkalaban 'tong dalawang teams, ang GK kahit talo sila for straight 4 years wala naman problema at friendly naman games nila. GK Warriors nga ang Physical dahil dahil maraming younger players at mas maraming malaking siko.
Pinapausok mo lang ata Pinoy team para mag-step-up ng defense nila. Manood ka na lang ng Chess games siguradong hindi Physical Game 'yon! Hindi naman puro offense lang dapat may defense din para mas magandang panoorin. Sa Basketball pangit kasi pag role ng team laging bugbog like FPJ palagi dapat may Lito Lapid din na defense.
Balita ko INTENSITY DEFENSE # 1 palang ata ginamit ng PINOY Team aginst GK Warriors. Sa next game daw ay INTENSITY DEFENSE # 3 na gagamitin nila equivalent to Signal # 3 sa Pinas so sigurado ma-feel mo 'yon dahil kararating mo lang. Warning ORIGLIO because PINOY are gutom and they will bring storm to win the next game.
Tama si BJ walang dirty play sa game.
Patuloy pa rin pray-over namin kay Kuya Nestor for a quick recovery.
VISDAK - PINOY Warrior
(GK Warrior/PINOY Supporter)
To PINOY,
Good Luck sa laro nyo sa Saturday.
To visdak-pinoy warrior
Ok ka lang?! Intensity intensity 3 ka pa dyan! Kahit anong gawin nila talo naman dila sa pagkaka alam ko. hehehe
The best thing about that game was mababait ang mga GK players. Kahit sila ang mas bata sila pa ang may pinagka tandaan unlike Pinoy.
Just my two cents ;)
Peace.
GK WARRIORS ALL DA WAY BABYYYYYY
Dati akong fan nang "wala sa ayos" kaya "hindiayos" ang pangalan ko pero im like GK Warriors now, kaya pinalitan ko na rin and panagalan ko "puroayos" galing kasi nang GKW,,,all the way warriors...Kaya to all the teams pagbutihin nyo pa kasi GKW is here to drag you....downnnnnn
