Quarterfinals Review and Analysis: 

Monday, March 28 Quarterfinals Date

Quarterfinals Pairings:

*Cignal HD vs BaliPure

*Choco Mucho vs PLDT

*Creamline vs Chery Tiggo

* Petro Gazz vs F2 Logistics

(*- Twice to beat advantage)

1. Cignal HD vs Balipure

Cignal HD has excellent scoring skills, blocking and has improved floor defense. Balipure is 0-3 this conference. It might be asking a lot if they can upset the 4-0 Cignal HD.

2. Choco Mucho vs PLDT

Choco Mucho has rebounded well from a tough loss against Cignal HD and showed character in a grind it out win versus F2. They are leveling up. It would be a major upset if PLDT gets a huge scoring boost.

3. Creamline vs Chery Tiggo

Creamline has good spiking skills and that would be tested against a good blocking team like Chery Tiggo. Yeah Creamline is not the best blocking team out there but they find ways to win. Throw out the stats in this match-up. It really can go either way.

4. Petro Gazz vs F2 Logistics

Petro Gazz is a relatively young team while F2 Logistics is battle tested. Petro Gazz have poor floor defense despite the second seeding and F2 Logistics can capitalize on that. However if Petro Gazz can get its scoring going, that would even things out. F2 Logistics looks tired. This break will be good for them.

Black Mamba Army (eliminated)

Black Mamba Army has to build upon some of their good pieces and skills to prepare for the next conference. If It's any consolation, they are good at receiving and one time, ranks among the best in spiking and digging. Honey Royse Tubino is a positive sign there with her scoring so build a team around her. They will be stronger when Jovelyn Gonzaga comes back.

Team Review and Analysis: 

1. Cignal (3-0) has scoring skills and blocking - the first line of defense that can turn into offense. Digging has vastly improved but they should do better in reception.

2. Creamline (3-0) ranks first in Spiking percentages but they are so and so in other categories. They have to improve their digging and blocking. If not, deflections can work as much as block when you recover the ball and score. It's one of those intangibles in the game.

3. Petro Gazz (2-1) leads in serving and is at the middle of the field in most categories. They have to improve digging where they rank last and receiving. 

4. Choco Mucho (2-1) dips down after their first loss. Digging, blocking and spiking should come back, 

5. F2 Logistics (2-1) has good floor defense shown in their digging and receiving ranks. They have to improve blocking and spiking. 

6. Chery Tiggo (1-3) has good spiking and receiving. They have to improve serves and i guess clutch. 

7. PLDT (1-2) has good digging but surprisingly they are poor in reception. They also have to improve scoring, set up easy points in spiking.

8. Balipure (0-3) ranks the lowest in almost all categories. Blocking has improved. They just have to level up to win against the top seed of Pool A.

9. Black Mamba Army (0-3) has good floor defense. They have to improve scoring and blocking.

Team Analysis: 

1. Choco Mucho (2-0) pretty much tops the scoring and non-scoring except the category of Serving. Its not just about getting the ball in play but also getting easy points from service aces. 

2. Creamline (2-0) ranks first in Spiking percentages but they are so and so in other categories. They have to improve their digging. 

3. Petro Gazz (2-0) leads in serving and is at the middle of the field in most categories. They have to improve digging and receiving. 

4. Cignal (2-0) is up there in scoring skills despite poor setting as a team. They have to improve digging and receiving. 

5. F2 Logistics (2-1) has good floor defense shown in their digging and receiving ranks. They have to improve blocking and spiking. 

6. Chery Tiggo (0-3) has good spiking and receiving. They have to improve serves and i guess clutch. 

7. PLDT (0-2) has good digging but surprisingly they are poor in reception. They also have to improve scoring. 

8. Black Mamba Army (0-2) has good floor defense. They have to improve scoring and blocking. 

9. Balipure (0-2) ranks the lowest in all categories. They have to improve everything.

Correcting Pre-Historic Philippine History

It were really the Indonesians, Bruneians and Malaysians of Borneo who were the first settlers in pre-historic Philippines which was millions of years ago or Filipinos traveled in Borneo or we have a parallel evolution. If Indonesia has the Java Man dated millions of years ago, the Philippines has the Tabun Man dated at the same time. We suppose Aetas were the first settlers because they remained in their primitive man. They have to wear thick fur to cross ice bridges. Another reason is proximity. The Philippines can travel to Borneo by sea and land. The same goes for the rest of South East Asia.

Once Upon A Time In The Philippines

Once upon a time in the Philippines, there was this Swiss magician showing off his skills in the streets of Manila. Although the locals did not understand the language, they somehow understood the performances and really enjoyed it. One time the Swiss covered a cup of water with a handkerchief. By one swift and fluid motion, he made the cup disappear to the amazement of the crowd. “Voila,” he said. “Ahhh ‘wala’ daw,” said one of the locals while others nodded in agreement. And so, from then on, when things are missing, locals would refer to it as “wala”. Then he traveled south and saw a great lake upon a lagoon. "It looks like Lausanne". "Luzon daw", said one of the locals. And so, from then on, thr big group of islands in the north of the Philippines was collectively known as Luzon.

Writing Blogs and Video Blogging

The main difference is that i can write an article in 15 minutes while it takes me 3 hours to make a video. Yeah i do this to earn money from ads but i love what i'm doing. My dream is to make a podcast about sports and entertainment. I think speaking on camera just takes time getting used to. I have a project actually, i'm drawing plans for a residential house and i will teach how to manage scheduling, manpower, materials, tools and equipment. I named my second YouTube channel as VC BUILDERS. Time to get serious with my career as a Civil Engineer. Work hard, play hard. We have time to work. We have time to play.

Philippines Bags Its First Gold Medal in the Olympics [In Retrospect]

Hidilyn Diaz scored the breakthrough as she edged her opponent from China in a neck and neck battle in the Women's Weightlifting 55 kg division. Diaz also broke the Olympic Record in the Snatch and Jerk Event and Overall Points. It was a momentous occasion as the Philippines has never won a Gold Medal in Olympic history.

Sure there were could have beens but it does not count. There was a filipina diver who trained with her american coach but they married before the Olympic. When she won two Gold Medals it was counted to the USA tally. There was also Arianne Cerdeña who won the Gold Medal in Women's Bowling which was an exhibition sport so it does not count. So Hidilyn Diaz' success somewhat made up for our frustrations.

Speaking of frustrations, we have yet to win that elusive Gold Medal in Boxing. Carlo Paalam and Nesthy Petecio came so close that their Silver Medals were bitter-sweet. There was also disappointment in Eumir Marcial's Bronze Medal finish. He was probably the most bemedalled amateur boxer in Philippine Boxing internationally. However our hopes are high that Coach Ronald Chavez will continue to train our boxers and discover new talents. He was a talented boxer, a product of then Mayor Mel Lopez and his ABAP Go For Gold. We won 8 boxing Gold Medals in the SEA Games and 3 Gold Medals in the Asian Games. Onyok Velasco won a Silver Medal and his brother Roel Velasco won a Bronze Medal. Boxing is probably the only martial arts we can excel at the world level as Judo and Taekwondo have advanced techniques in other countries. Looking at other South East Asian nations, they won Olympic Golds in Swimming and Badminton. We can train our swimmers in the states like Joseph Schooling of Singapore, who edged Michael Phelps for the Gold Medal, and Badminton is or was Indonesia's bread and butter in the Olympic Gold. When it comes to track and field like running, we have to excel first in Asia and then the world. Like EJ Obiena who finished 7th in Men's Pole Vault. Tokyo was Hidilyn Diaz' 4th Olympics. Our athletes should do their best to outdo their previous records. Same goes for Margielyn Didal who qualified for the finals of Skateboarding. In Rowing, Chris Nievarez introduced us to Single Sculls. Its a different technique than that of Dragon Boat Racing where we excel. But rowing is rowing, and paddling is paddling. We can excel here. So thats it at the moment. I am juggling speaking and writing at the same time. If you have questions how to activate Google Adsense on your blogs, let me know.
