RP booters stall Indians
BY CEDELF TUPAS

With the huge disparity in their FIFA rankings, many thought the Philippines-India clash Monday night would turn into a rout.

But Mark Alvin Valeroso saved the 191st ranked Philippine side from another disappointing loss as he headed the equalizer that forced a 1-all standoff with title contenders India in Group A of the inaugural Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong, Bangladesh.

The 22-year-old Valeroso, a 5-foot-5 midfielder from Zamboanga City, scored in the 18th minute off a Jeremias Jiao corner, after Vimal Pariyar put the Indians, who rank 73 places above the Filipinos, ahead eight minutes into the game.

DepEd, Capitol to tackle
Palaro billeting matters
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN

Officials of the Negros Occidental Provincial Government and Department of Education will meet today to discuss the billeting quarters of the 2006 Palarong Pambansa-bound Negros student-athletes who will train at the Panaad Park and Stadium in Barangay Mansilingan, Bacolod City.

Manuel De Oro, officer-in-charge of the Provincial Sports and Development Office, said the Capitol and DepEd officials will iron out the accommodation of the Negros-based Palaro athletes because the rooms at Panaad will also be used as billeting quarters for the players who will see action in the Panaad Sportsfest slated April 24 to 29.
