Manila News Today: Sept 30, 2009 – Classes Suspended for One Week

 

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) said Wednesday that classes at the tertiary level in Metro Manila and other areas placed under a state of calamity will remain suspended until Saturday.  Classes resume on October 3 (for Saturday classes) and October 5 (for Monday classes).  Colleges and universities are being encouraged to become centers that will receive aid and donations to help those affected by Typhoon Ondoy.

 

 

In other news, Typhoon Ondoy or international name Ketsana is now in Vietnam, which is across the South China Sea from Philippines.  Ketsana hit central Vietnam yesterday and death toll is now at 39, and caused close to 170,000 people to leave their homes.

 

The World Meteorological Organisation said in Geneva a new tropical depression had formed east of the Philippines Tuesday, although it was too soon to predict whether it would form a cycle that would reach the archipelago.

Ateneo and DLSU Face Again in Round 2 This Sunday

 

It was only last Sunday when the Araneta Coliseum was filled to the brim with ADMU and DLSU fanatics.  The Ateneo de Manila University won that game against De La Salle University 76-72 in overtime.  This coming Sunday, watch out for another tight bball battle as the two school favorites face each other again in the second round of the 72nd University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) men’s basketball tournament.

 

While Ateneans usually wear blue and La Sallians green, both schools wore yellow as a sign of national unity during its first meet to also honor the late former president Corazon Aquino.

Ateneo Blue Eagles Flight Deferred by UP Fighting Maroons

 

The first win of the UP Fighting Maroons (68) only meant the first loss for the Ateneo Blue Eagles (58) at the UAAP Season 72nd elimination round last Sunday, July 26.  After three straight losses, UP finally mustered a win and at the hands of a formidable foe this season.  Ateneo is on top of the standings with three wins in a row.

 

 

 

Former Ginebra player and current UST coach was also very proud of his boys when the oldest school in Manila gathered the first win against UE since 2006.  The UST Tigers pulled off a victory against the University of the East Warriors, 92-88, to inch up in the standings and claim the number #2 spot with 3-1 records, same as FEU Tamaraws.

UAAP Season 72

Ateneo clinched its third straight victory against the UST Tigers, 93-77 in the UAAP men’s basketball tournament at the Philsports Arena the other day.  Prior to the match-up, both schools held an unbeaten record in the first round of the recently opened season. 

 

The 5’6” Eman Monfort gave a big showing when its main man Rabeh Al-Hussaini struggled with foul trouble.  He had a very impressive game clutching 20 points that includes explosive six treys.

With a very good start this season, the Blue Eagles seem to not miss Chris Tiu’s presence on the bench.  Tiu has already completed 5 seasons of UAAP and is slated to move on.  Ateneo is gunning for a second championship with Rabeh Al Hussaini leading the pack.  Hussaini was last season’s MVP and was a powerful element in the championship win. 

 

DLSU this year will be missing the sparkplug JV Casio and another frontliner in Rico Maierhofer.
