I know I said that updates were going to be light this week because I’m busy with the day job with the elections right around the corner, but I just needed to blog this because it concerns the whole Philippine basketball community. I never thought I’d see the words “Chris Tiu” and “Lihim na romansa” together in a headline, but here’s the big news, from Gerry Ocampo of People’s Journal:

IKINAGULAT at itinanggi kaagad ni Daiana Menezes ang tsismis na pinoporma-han siya ni Chris Tiu. Wala raw ganu’ng pang-yayari. At ‘di rin daw totoo ang balitang madalas silang magkasama ngayon ni Chris sa mga gimikan.

Nang mainterbyu namin, maging si Chris Tiu ay nagulat sa balitang idini-date niya si Daiana Menezes.

Nang makausap namin siya sa taping ng Pinoy Record ay natigilan pa si Chris at hinanap sa kaibuturan ng me-morya kung nagkaroon nga ba ng pagkakataong nagka-sama sila sa lakaran ni Daiana. Wala siyang maisip.

Oo, sexy at maganda raw si Daiana, pero hindi raw sila nagde-date ng Brazilian model at isa sa hosts ng Eat Bulaga.

Inamin ni Chris na attracted din siya sa dalaga. Ang kaso, naka-concentrate lang talaga siya sa pagpa-practice with the RP Team kung saan si Chris ang captain ball, at lagare pa siya sa pagho-host ng Pinoy Record at Ripley`s Believe It Or Not.

Uh, yeah man?

We already know that our beloved Smart Gilas team captain’s MO is to deny everything, and stand in the corner and pray the rosary. Also, we know that his heart really belongs to the departed former US ambassador to the Philippines, Kristie Kenney. And Daiana herself denies it on Twitter.

Ok, I know this is all stupid, but I just wanted to post the photo of Daiana that ran on Journal.
