POOL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Pelayo recovers
but Mince loses
BY PATRICK PANGILINAN
Firecracker victim Jarry Pelayo bounced back from a heart-breaking setback, venting his ire on fellow Negros Billiard Stable player Panfilo Damuag, 9-2, yesterday on the second day of the BSCP National Pool Championships at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila.
But much of the talk on day 2 was the off-table problem
of double world champion Ronnie Alcano, who is facing rape charges filed
by his 14-year-old daughter. Visibly out of his element, Alcano lost
to unheralded Fidel Punzalan, 5-9, and later admitted that his legal
problems have affected by the case.

La
Salle spikers The St. La Salle duo of Marlon Luces and Mark Sabusap got their campaign off to a bright start in the Visayas qualifying leg of the 11th National Nestea beach volleyball tournament at the La Salle Greenhills sand courts in Manila. Luces and Sabusap streaked to two victories yesterday, beating Cebu-based University of San Jose Recoletos, 21-17, 21-13, in its first match. Luces and Sabusap then routed the spikers from the University of Southern Philippines Foundation, 21-18, 21-17. But the tandem of Lasallians Realyn Valenciano and Sheryl Silva
were not as lucky. |

Mia,
Anya to Bacolod-born golf standouts Mia Piccio and Anya Tanpinco are part of the Philippine contingent that will see action in the Thailand Ladies Open, which tees off today at the President Gold and Conference Center. The 5,800-yard layout is sleek and boasts of fast greens, Piccio's father, Ernesto "Boy" told the DAILY STAR in a text message. The tournament serves as a prelude for the summer campaign of Piccio, who is supported by ITCSI of businessman Ricky Razon. The Bacolod shotmaker, who showed her immense potential when she
placed second in the inaugural RP Ladies Amateurs, will also compete
in the Thailand Juniors and tournaments in Australia next month. |
