Two familiar faces have emerged triumphant in the 42K centerpiece event of the Manila Leg of the National MILO Marathon. Florendo Lapiz and Lizane Abella displayed an epic performance for leading the course throughout the race, besting hundreds of elite runners in the country’s grandest and longest-running footrace.

The successful turnout of 20,000 has rendered the streets of Pasay and Manila green, where people from all walks of life enjoyed different distance categories ranging from 1K, 3K, 5K to 10K, 21K, and 42K.

Lapiz made a significant lead against second placer Salvador Polillo, both posting a time of 2:42:33 and 2:49:54, respectively. Completing the magic three is another hot contender Welfred Esporma, who clocked in at 2:58:51.

On the distaff side, Abella bested her contemporaries with the time of 3:21:05. She is followed by last year’s Manila leg female winner, Maricar Camacho, who finished second at 3:26:19, and Jewel De Luna clocking in at 3.27:05.

The unusually higher temperatures have proven to be a bit challenging for Lapiz and Abella, both Cebu natives. Nevertheless, the flat thoroughfares made it somehow an easy route to navigate. With sheer grit and determination, Lapiz and Abella maintained their pace until they reached the finish line.

Pag dito kasi, kailangan galingan mo talaga. Gagawin mo talaga ang best mo sa laro na ito. Pero ito ang hilig namin eh. Manalo man o matalo, tanggap namin iyon,” said Lapiz.

Abella was able to hit her breakaway in the 32KM-mark after outracing second placer Camacho. She revealed that her children were her biggest motivation for this race.

Pinaghirapan ko talaga itong race na ito,” said Abella. “Pinush ko talaga ang sarili ko para manalo ako. Inaalay ko itong panalo ko sa mga anak ko.

Both Lapiz and Abella have earned their top seeds in the National Finals, where they will compete with the country’s best in Cagayan de Oro in December.

Not to be outdone are the side activities that transpired after the races. In the cheer dance competition, delegates from different schools were in a fierce battle. Camarin D. Elementary School, Signal Village National Highschool, and Colegio de San Juan de Letran were named champions in their respective divisions. Meanwhile, Jose Rizal University was awarded the biggest delegation.

More than Just a Race

For 60 years, MILO has committed itself to bringing out the champion in every Filipino through its sports programs. MILO® Marathon transcends beyond the finish line by offering a path for families and individuals to unlock their potential, fostering valuable life lessons like grit, determination, and teamwork to reach their successes.

The Garcia family is building their own tradition of joining the MILO Marathon every year. Mariji Garcia and Jason Garcia have been running in the MILO Marathon since they were teenagers. Now that they are parents to their 5-year-old, Jaemio, they want to continue the tradition and let their son experience the wonders of running.

“We wanted our son to experience, just for exposure, ‘yung race,” said Mariji, mom of Jaemio. She revealed that her son has mild autism and found the MILO Marathon as an ideal avenue for her son to build confidence, socialize, and feel a sense of accomplishment. “Maganda kasi maraming kids din ang sumasali which is a good thing for our son para sa kanyang social development.”  The Garcia family hopes that they can join the higher categories in the future.

“It’s the inspiring stories like the Garcia family that fuel us to make sports accessible to everyone. It is our great privilege to be an avenue for many Filipinos to create their memorable experiences in the National MILO® Marathon,” said Sampan. “This event is truly a celebration of what running is about. More than just a race, it’s a communal journey that brings people together from all walks of life.”

After the Manila Leg, the race will set foot in Puerto Princesa (May 12), Legazpi (June 2), Cavite-Vermosa (September 22), Tagbilaran (September 29), Roxas (October 6), Iloilo (October 20), Bacolod (October 27), General Santos (November 10), Davao (November 17) and Tarlac (November 24). The National Finals will be held on December 1 in Cagayan de Oro.

CAMSUR - GENERALS - NBL 0314

Kinoronahan bilang mga kampeon, ang Taguig City Generals sa season 2023 ng NBL Chairman’s Cup!

It was a clean sweep para sa Taguig matapos nilang ma-three-zero ang Cam Sur Express. Natapos ang game 3 na may final score na 94 to 85.

Inaasahan na makakabawi ang Cam Sur, dahil sila ang mayroong home court advantage, matapos isagawa ang game 1 at game 2 sa court ng Taguig ngunit nagdikit man ang score, nabigong makahabol ang Cam Sur.

Sa 1st half, maganda kaagad ang tempo ng Generals at nagawa pa nilang magtanim ng malaking lead sa iskor na 56 to 36. ‘yan ay sa tulong ng secret weapons ng Taguig off the bench na sina Mark Ordoñez at Harvey Subrabas.

Ngunit pagdating ng 4th quarter, bahagyang nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin matapos mahabol ng Express ang 24-point lead ng Generals.

Pero hindi nagpabaya ang Taguig at hindi sinayang ang bawat possession.

Ito na ang ikaapat na championship ng Taguig City Generals sa National Basketball League, kung saan una silang nagkampeon noong 2019, season 2022 ng Chairman’s Cup at President’s Cup, at ngayong Chairman’s Cup season 2023.

Bukod pa riyan, gumawa rin sila ng kasaysayan dahil sila ang kauna-unahang team sa NBL na nagkaroon ng apat na kampeonato at back-to-back na pagkapanalo.

CAMSUR - GENERALS - NBL 0313

Dikit ang naging laban sa pagitan Taguig City Generals at Cam Sur Express, sa game 2 ng best-of-five series ng NBL Chairman’s Cup finals.

Matatandaan na target ng Taguig na ma-two-zero ang Cam Sur, but of course hindi nagpatalo ang Cam Sur at gusto ring makuha ang panalo.

Natapos ang regulation na may final score na 91 to 85.

Sa una pa lamang, mayroon na kaagad high percentage shooting ang dalawang koponan, kung saan natapos nila ang first quarter na parehong may 31 points.

Pagdating ng 2nd quarter, mas humigpit ang depensa ng Express at sila’y nakakagawa ng good plays, kung saan nakuha pa nila ang lead sa halftime.

Sa 3rd quarter, umarangkada ang season mvp na si Mike Sampurna, pero palaging may sagot ang Cam Sur dito.

Last quarter, dito na nabago ang kapalaran ng Cam Sur at pumabor na ang laban sa Taguig ‘yan ay sa pamamagitan ng teamwork ng Generals, sa pangunguna ng duo na sina Mike “The Forest Hunter” Sampurna at ang “Junior Defense Minister” na si Lj mayo.

Magtutuos muli ang Cam Sur at Taguig para sa game 3, mamaya na yang ala sais trenta ng gabi!

DLSU - TITANS 0229

Nakuha na ang kalamangan, pero muntik pang mahabol ng home team na Enderun Colleges Titans ang score ng De La Salle Green Archers.

Maganda ang naging simula ng Enderun sa 1st quarter kung saan lamang sila ng dalawang puntos kontra sa Green Archers.

Pagdating ng 2nd quarter, doon na nakapag-build up ng momentum ang La Salle, kung saan nagkaroon na sila ng two-digit advantage.

Ngunit nagsimulang makagawa ng run ang Titans sa ilalim ng 2-minute mark ng 4th quarter at unti-unting naibababa ang double-digit lead ng Archers.

Gayunpaman, pagkatapos tumawag ng time-out ng Enderun, hindi na nagpabaya ang De La Salle at sinecure na ang kanilang panalo.

Sa ngayon, mayroon ng 3 wins at 2 losses ang DLSU Green Archers, habang 1-3 naman ang record ng Enderun Titans.

Pasok na sa finals ang koponan ng Cam Sur Express, matapos nilang wakasan ang kampanya ng Zambales Eruption sa semifinals ng NBL Chairman’s Cup season 2023-2024.

Clean 2-0 ang ginawa ng Cam Sur sa best-of-three series kung saan natapos ang laban na mayroong final score na 100 to 74.

Tila sumubok ng ibang paraan ang parehong coaches dahil sa unusual check in para sa starters. Determinado mang lumaban ang Zambales para sa game three, hindi nila napigilan ang manpower ng Cam Sur.

Bukod sa home-court advantage, nakatulong sa panalo ng Cam Sur ang hot shooting ni Joshua Ayo, na gumawa ng 21 points, kung saan ang lima rito ay mula sa three-point line. Mayroon din siyang 6 assists at 3 steals.

Ayon kay Joshua, hindi dahil pasok na sila finals, ay dapat nang mag-celebrate. Ia-assess daw mula nila ang mga nangyari, at pag-aaralan ang susunod na makakalaban.

Dagdag pa niya, bukod sa pagpaplano, kailangan din nilang palakasin pa ang kanilang teamwork o chemistry. Para sa finals, hundred percent silang ready.

TAGUIG 2-0

Tila dumaan sa butas ng karayom ang Muntinlupa Chiefs, nang kanilang kaharapin ang defending champions na Taguig City Generals.

Mainit pa rin ang mga heneral mula sa pagkapanalo kontra sa Zambales Eruption – at kanilang tinapos ang game na may score na 107 to 73.

Sa kabila ng malaking kalamangan ng Taguig Generals, aksidenteng natapilok ang kanilang star player at MVP noong nakaraang President’s Cup na si Mike Sampurna sa ikapitong minuto ng fourth quarter.

Ngunit hindi ito naging hadlang. Dahil to the rescue si LJ Mayo na nagpakita ng magandang performance.

Sa ngayon, may hawak na 2-0 win-loss record ang Taguig City Generals. - sa panulat ni Ralph Dela Cruz

sports - webmasters last elim game

Matapos ang dalawang linggong pahinga, nakahanda na ang University of Cebu Webmasters para sa kanilang huling laro sa elimination round ng CESAFI men’s basketball tournament.

Kakaharapin ng dating top seed ang baguhan sa liga na Benedicto College Cheetahs, kung saan ito ang magtutukoy kung mananatiling nasa Top 2 ang Webmasters o muli nilang makukuha ang ika-unang pwesto.

Matatandaang natapos ang 8-game win streak ng Webmasters nang sila’y matalo kontra sa UV Green Lancers.

Sinabi ni Calib Gawangon, assistant coach ng Webmasters, na malaking factor sa kanilang pagkatalo ang pagkakaroon ng injury ng kanilang tatlong key players gayundin ang absence ng kanilang head coach matapos itong masuspinde ng one game.

Gayunpaman, ito raw ay magsisilbing learning experience at mas paghahandaan pa nila ang mga susunod nilang laban.

Sa ngayon, hawak ng Webmasters ang twice-to-beat advantage patungong semis. - sa panulat ni Ralph Dela Cruz
