Have you seen Kris Aquino's Dalaw? Just bothered with Diether Ocampo's role as her husband. Seems like potshots against James Yap. He's the almost spineless, not so good with English husband who earns less than his better-educated wife.

• This is old news, but in case you missed it: High school junior Jeron Teng scored 104 points in a game for Xavier last week in the Tiong Lian basketball league. I still think it’s funny that both Jeron and his brother, UST hotshot Jeric Teng, are children of Alvin Teng, who was more known as a banger and a blue-collar guy; if the kids didn’t look so much like their father, you’d suspect there was some hanky-panky there involving Teng’s ex-teammates Samboy Lim and Allan Caidic.


• Jerry Codiñera is the new coach of his alma mater, the University of the East Red Warriors. ‘The Defense Minister’ spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach for the UP Fighting Maroons. Prior to that, he had a stint as head coach of TeleTech in the Philippine Basketball League, where he didn’t do too badly.


• The Younghusbands might end up playing for a club team in Indonesia. Wannabe Youngwives there rejoice.
  
  They’ve also started up a new football academy, which unfortunately wouldn’t make you look like models.


• A few months ago, I was speaking to veteran sports journalist Bong Pedralvez, a rabid football fan, and we ended up talking about the issues surrounding the Philippine Football Federation. I asked him what made the football organization different from any other national sports association wracked by infighting. “In football,” he said, “there’s a lot of money.”
  
  And boy, the cash is just flowing in. Aside from the assistance the International Football Federation (Fifa) already provides, and the aid that the German Football Association (DFB) also committed, three more countries, this time from the Middle East, are pouring in funds for local football.
  
  With embattled former PFF president Mari Martinez out of the picture, sufficient funding, and renewed interest from local sports fans, there really are no more excuses for Philippine football, right?


• Asian Games silver medal-winning boxer Annie Albania is AWOL.


• Smart Gilas (remember them?) coach Rajko Toroman wants them to keep playing in the PBA to toughen them up. He also wants PBA players committed to his team for a longer period of time. Somewhere out there, Yeng Guiao must be yukking it up. I’d ask Noli Eala about it on Twitter, but we’re not in good terms right now.
