jin Padilla strikes
gold in national event
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN
Negros Taekwondo Union standout Carlos Padilla V clobbered his Far Eastern University rival, 5-1, yesterday for the gold in the senior men's flyweight category of the Samsung Best-of-the-Best National Taekwondo Championships at the Glorietta Mall in Makati.
Padilla, a graduate of San Beda College, but who is representing his home club, booked a place in the gold medal bout by winning against his SBC opponent in the semifinal round.
Padilla was the lone gold medalist for the Tigers yesterday
after Andy Perdeguerros and Bagoeño Jose Emmanuel Enriquez bowed to
their rivals in tightly-contested semifinal showdowns.

'All
ASEAN Cup matches All of the matches in the Southeast Asian Football Championships qualifying round may be staged in Bacolod, the president of the Philippine Football Federation said last night. PFF president Juan Miguel "Johnny" Romualdez told the DAILY STAR that ASEAN Football Federation officials appeared receptive of their proposal of staging all the games in the Nov. 12-20 event at the Panaad Park and Stadium in Bacolod City. Romualdez's statements came amid the controversy on the management
of the Paglaum Sports Complex, the other venue eyed for the international
event. After years of neglect, Paglaum was spruced up for the SEA
Games men's football event last year. |

New-look
RP squad The new-look Philippine men's football training pool is slowly finding its feet under coach Aris Caslib, two months before the squad sees action in the Southeast Asian Football Championships. The nationals encountered stiff resistance from West Negros College's Nopsscea-bound squad, before second half goals from Ian Araneta and Anto Gonzales secured a 3-1 victory at the Panaad pitch yesterday. "We're moving slowly," Caslib said when asked to asses the performance of the team so far. The training pool is undergoing a camp under Caslib in preparation for the Nov. 12-20 ASEAN Football Championships in Bacolod City. Caslib stressed the importance of international exposure for the
national squad that is currently missing skipper Aly Borromeo and
Fil-Britons James and Phil Younghusband and Chris Greatwich. |
