BLIND ITEM: This very popular PBA player is very much single again after recently ending his relationship with his long-time girlfriend to whom he has two kids.
A source told Buzzer Beater that the PBA player and his girlfriend have agreed to go their separate ways due to the latter’s incessant jealousy to basketball fans approaching the player.
“Mutually agreed ang hiwalayan nila kasi napapadalas na ang awayan nila nitong nakaraan,” said the source. “Masyado naman din kasing wala sa lugar ang pagseselos ni girl.”
“Dapat kasi ina-anticipate na ni girl na nagdyowa siya ng gwapo at sikat na basketball player, natural na lapitin talaga ‘yan ng mga babaeng basketball fans saan man sila magpunta,” he added.
“Pero ang maganda sa kanila, maayos naman ang hiwalayan nila at pinapayagan naman ni girl si basketball player na dalawin ‘yung anak niya. Recently nga ay pinuntahan ni player ‘yung anak nila sa ibang bansa nung nag-birthday ito.”
“Malayong-malayo ito dun sa dating partner in life ni basketball player na eskandalosa at ipinagkakait sa kanya ‘yung anak niya. Hindi lang iyon, nilalason pa nung dati niyang esmi ‘yung utak nung anak niya.”
“Sa ngayon ay very much single si basketball player although parang hindi naman siya naghahanap ng bagong partner. Focus muna siya sa nalalabing taon ng basketball career niya dahil malapit na din siya sa retirement.”

Negros Occidental Football Association (NOFA) will be representing the country in the 2019 Soong Ching Ling Cup China-ASEAN Youth Football Friendly Matches from Aug. 1 to 8 at Hangzhou, China.
This will be the third time that NOFA-Philippines is taking part in the prestigious ASEAN youth football tourney. They aim to improve their fourth place finish last year when they beat China in the elimination round, 3-0, but lost to the hosts for third place spot.
“Team NOFA-Philippines has always looked forward to joining the Soong Ching Ling Cup,” said NOFA President Ricky Yanson. “Being a China-ASEAN football tournament, we get to have a glimpse of the level football for Under 13 in these countries.”
“The experience that the NOFA mentors gain from the SCL Cup also contributes to the improvement of NOFA activities,” he added. “Opportunities for interaction with other coaches and organizers can also bring about ideas essential to our own grassroots development program.”
Among the players in the roster were Mark Jason Apostolero, Luke Apuhan, Kian Klent Catoto, Aaron Nathan Dionaldo, Andres Gabriel Dumlao, Renzo Angelo Enriquez, Frankie Andrei Felia, Franz Derek Liansing, Kian Terrence Niu, Elijah Raj Pabalate, Christian Rendon, Rey Allen Rico, Ethan Jacob Roxas, Mark Anthony Talingting, Jr., and Ansbert Tayapad.
The NOFA-Philippines players are standouts from the NOFA Cup 2019 that was held last summer in Bacolod and were from different parts of the Philippines in Bacolod, Cebu, Davao, Dumaguete, and Manila.
Team NOFA-Philippines will have their first game against Malaysia on Aug. 3; to be followed by a match against China on the same day, and against Singapore on August 4. Their last game in the elimination round is on Aug. 5 versus Laos.
The Soong Ching Ling Cup is an annual Under 13 eight-a-side football tournament hosted by the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation, the Chinese Football Federation and the ASEAN-China Center, to promote friendship and understanding between China and ASEAN countries./PN
