The Barako prototype: A deep profile of coach and politician Joseller “Yeng” Guiao

Posted by Karlitos Brian Decena on March 24, 2011 at 15:25 | Comments (12)
Editor’s note: Karlitos Brian Decena, a 3rd year journalism student at UP Diliman, was required to write a profile story for his investigative journalism class. An avid basketball fan, he chose as his subject controversial PBA coach Yeng Guiao, who also serves as vice-governor in Pampanga. Decena traveled to the province and examined public documents for his research. He got a grade of 1.0 for this project.

Clad in a red polo shirt and black slacks, Pampanga Vice Governor and Red Bull Barako coach Joseller “Yeng” Guiao watched Dondon Hontiveros hit a triple, giving San Miguel the lead with four minutes left in the second quarter.

After the shot, the bald-headed Guiao, known for haranguing players on court, did something a coach ordinarily would not do.

Wednesday bullets, starring Jeron Teng, Jerry Codiñera, Younghusbands and Dalaw

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on January 12, 2011 at 12:01 | Comments (8)
Haven’t done this in a while, but before we get to the bullets, I enjoyed this comment from reader Jowana Bueser last week:

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.

Okaay. On to the bullets:

On Alaska

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on February 23, 2010 at 19:42 | Comments (7)
Alaska is perhaps the most Internet-savvy organization in the PBA. Its coach, Tim Cone, has been holding court on Twitter for several months now, sharing invaluable basketball knowledge to fans. We had this initial exchange a few months ago.

Me: “I hope you do continue with your candid tweets, coach. I’m sure everyone appreciates it. You’re almost turning me into an Alaska fan. Too bad I’m dyed in the wool for Purefoods. Heck, I’m still bitter about the ’96 All-Filipino.”

2009 PBA Draft Results

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on August 2, 2009 at 22:21 | Comments (13)
As expected, Burger King made Japeth Aguilar the first overall pick in the 2009 PBA Draft. While the top picks went as planned, there were a handful of surprises, with a huge WTF moment with Alaska’s pick of Michael Burtscher. I’m guessing Rafe Bartholomew will now light himself on fire. Dude, how’s that tan coming along? My suggestion for your new Pinoy name: Rafael Baldemor. Parang bold star, diba?

Fire Quinito 2009 PBA mock draft, version 1.0

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on July 28, 2009 at 19:19 | Comment (1)
The PBA draft happens this Sunday, and while there's a lot of buzz regarding Burger King possibly selling the rights to draft Japeth Aguilar (as they did with Arwind Santos, Cyrus Baguio, and all their stars), ayoko munang patulan yun. Here's my first mock draft:

Philippine basketball's call to arms

Graham Lim

The man in the picture is Graham Lim, the Secretary-General of the Basketball Association of the Philippines, and the Great Satan of Philippine basketball. He is the man responsible for putting the Philippines back on the road to international basketball perdition.

PBL Preview: Cecilio Pedro and the Licealiz Hair Doctors

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on April 20, 2009 at 17:24 | Comments (0)
The economic downturn is affecting everyone, and it has hit local amateur commercial basketball particularly hard. The Philippine Basketball League, the traditional breeding ground for Philippine basketball's rising stars, beginning their new tournament while reeling from the departure of two members (Burger King and Toyota Otis), are down to five teams.

It makes sense. Unlike the PBA, the PBL is truly borne out of love: companies pay teams to play in near-empty arenas and there is next to no one watching on television.

This is Fire Quinito's primer for each team, with a different twist: a profile of each team owner. Who are they, and what do they do? And why the hell are they still in the PBL?

Cecilio Pedro and Lamoiyan Corporation's newest team, the Licealiz Hair Doctors, are up next.
