SEAG record-breakers to
get more incentives
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Southeast Asian Games hammer throw king Arniel Ferrera of Cauayan town, Negros Occidental will get an additional P100,000 for setting a new record in last year's biennial Games in Nakhon Ratchasima , Thailand .
This was disclosed yesterday by the Philippine Sports Commissioner Eric Loretizo, who said the reward is apart from the incentives for the gold-silver-bronze medalists under Republic Act 9064 authored by then Sen. Robert Jaworski.
The incentive is pursuant to BR 102-2002 , which was the basis of a similar bonanza to long distance ace Eduardo Buenavista for setting a new SEA Games mark during the 21st SEA Games. 
| Fegidero wants Total commitment, nothing less. Newly-appointed national football coach Norman Fegidero wants to form the squad for the 2008 Asian Challenge Cup grounded on this mantra. “They should be committed. They should have the desire to win,” Fegidero, who accepted the post Tuesday, said. The former national team striker, who has close to 70 appearances for the RP Team from 1989-2001, said he is eyeing at least nine Bacolod City-based players to be invited for the upcoming try-outs. |
| Talisay cagers thwart Joemel Garrido fired 20 points as Talisay overcame Probac, 91-82, Wednesday night to stay unbeaten in three outings in the Class A division of the 8 th Tan Kek Pin Memorial Basketball Cup at the Po Hang Gym of Bacolod Tay Tung High School. Garrido's impressive performance that included an 18-point explosion in the final period was just half of the story, though. The Probac cagers had no one to blame but themselves as they had to forfeit the match after exceeding the number of ex-varsity players (schoolyear 2001-2006). |
