Swift
action on Palaro
cheating case assured
BY CEDELF P. TUPAS
Dr. Victoriano Tirol, director of the Department Education in Western Visayas, yesterday assured that swift action will be taken on the alleged age-cheating incident that happened in the boys' volleyball tournament of the 2006 Palarong Panlalawigan in Bacolod City.
Tirol told the DAILY STAR last night that he has yet to receive the documents related to the case that involves Fifth District schools supervisor Corazon Mohametano, Pahilanga Elementary School principal Nenita Caballero and PES teacher Julio Ferreros, who served as head coach of the team.
The Department of Education in Negros Occidental is recommending
the filing of administrative charges against the three for fielding
a player nearly two years over-aged for the competition.

Nursing
athletes top The College of Nursing took four crowns to emerge as the top team in the annual West Negros College Sportsfest in Bacolod City. With only the chess crowns being disputed, there was no stopping the Nursing athletes from clinching overall honors, after their victories in basketball, women's volleyball and men and women's table tennis. Led by Most Valuable Player Andy Angudong, the Nursing cagers nipped College of Arts and Sciences, 75-72, for the men's basketball crown at the WNC Covered Court. CAS was also denied of the women's title, losing 47-41 to College of Education in the finals. The Nursing spikers downed College of Business Management to win
the women's title, while the men and women's table tennis squads
beat College of Computer Studies and CBM, respectively for a Nursing
sweep. |

Lopue's,
Val cagers Sporting identical 1-1 records, Val Motors and Lopue's Travel Center try to gain the last playoff spot for an outright semifinal berth when they clash with different rivals at the resumption of the 7th Tan Kek Pin Cup Memorial Basketball Tournament at the Po Hang Gym of Bacolod Tay Tung High School. Coming off a 91-90 loss to Davies-Probac that denied them early
entry in the race for the two playoff spots, the Val cagers take
on unbeaten Summit Mineral Water in the first game at 6:30 p.m.
But Val Motors are not taking chances against Summit lightly as
a loss will relegate them to a dogfight in the quarterfinal. |
