'Erring' baseball coach
receives DepEd memo
JAYME PRESSED TO
ANSWER ALLEGATIONS OF CHEATING

BY CEDELF TUPAS

A memorandum asking baseball coach Narciso Jayme 72 hours to explain in writing the reason for his alleged fielding of an ineligible player during the regional Palaro last week in Roxas City was issued yesterday by Supt. Eva Belecina of the Negros Occidental Schools Division.

The deadline will lapse on Sunday since Jayme, who coached the Negros secondary boys' baseball squad, received the memorandum only yesterday, but Belecina said he will most likely be given until Monday to submit his explanation.

She said the possible sanction on the erring baseball mentor from Dr. Antonio Lizares Memorial High School in Dos Hermanas, Talisay, will be determined after a careful evaluation of his explanation.

The Philippines turns up its preparations for the Asian Challenge Cup when it plays a pair of friendly matches against Southeast Asian powerhouse Thailand on Sunday and Tuesday at the Chonburi Stadium in Bangkok.

The RP booters are hoping to get a better result against the Thais, who have dealt them painful losses in recent years, including a 1-0 setback in an Under-23 match-up in the Southeast Asian Games last year in Bacolod City.

The Asian Challenge Cup, featuring FIFA developmental countries, is set next month in Bangladesh with the Philippines kicking off its stint against Chinese Taipei on April 1.

PNP shootfest starts in Silay
BY GILBERT BAYORAN

About 300 gun enthusiasts, both lawmen and civilians, will participate in a three-day shootfest sponsored by the Philippine National Police in Brgy. Balaring, Silay City starting today.

Supt. Celestino Guara yesterday said the staging of shootfest dubbed as the "Mayor's Cup" is to recognize the support extended by Mayor Carlo Gamban, Vice-Mayor Francis Jay Jalandoni and members of the Silay City Council, among others, to the police. Guara said gun club members from Iloilo and Dumaguete cities also signified their intention to participate in the shootfest, which is expected to end on March 26.

The "top gun" will receive a .45 caliber pistol as prize, aside from a trophy, while shooters included in the top 32 and 16, respectively, will get trophies and P1,000 in cash.
