Xyberguild leaves an imprint of Info Tech in Consolacion NHS

 
      
     Holding an aim of giving knowledge on computer literacy and I.T. related topics, a group of Xyberguild members embarked an impression of Information Technology as they ventured Consolacion NHS. The ten young mentors gazed their way down from CITE to the municipality of Consolacion bringing intact knowledge of I.T.

         

     Within the span of three consecutive Saturdays (November 17,24 and December 1), a set of lessons about C programming was introduced to the third year Sci Tech students during their two meetings. Cisco Networking and Basic Web Designing were the topics laid down for the fourth years. Composed of different activities, the training became more interesting for them to take.




The training conducted was considered successful and effective due to the positive feedbacks brought by the two year levels.

TNT: Back to the game

     After losing their first two games, Talk n' Text Bounced back and broke into the win-column in the PBA Governor's Cup with an astonishing 102-87 victory against the previously unbeaten Petron Blaze Boosters at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Wednesday night.

     Psyching themselves up certainly helped the Texters in this game.

     "We made a commitment to forget what happened (in the Commissioner's Cup Finals). We set our minds," said coach Chot Reyes.

     We're really affected by the last finals, we lost fun in the game. We dreaded going to practice, we dreaded going to the game," Reyes added.

    Tropang Texters' import, Paul Harris outscored Boosters' Eddie Basden performance during the game. Harris led all scores with 27 big points and added 10 rebounds while Basden has 19 points and 13 rebounds.

    Ranidel de Ocampo played an excellent game shooting at the rainbow country. De Ocampo came through with 23 points and 5 rebounds.

     "Malaking bagay yung in-enjoy uli namin yung game," said De Ocampo.

    Jared Dillinger and Japeth Aguilar contributed double-digit points while Ryan Reyes chipped in with five points, four rebounds and two assists.

    The Texters dominated the Boosters with an impressive 52.1 percent shooting, 54.5 freethrow percentage.


The scores:

TALK N" TEXT 102- Harris 27, De Ocampo 23, Dillinger 15, Aguilar 10, Williams 9, Peek 7, Reyes 5, Fonacier 3, Alapag 3, Raymundo 0, Aban 0.

PETRON 87- Basden 19, Lutz 19, Cabagnot 15, Santos 12, Ildefonso 6, Lanete 4, Washington 4, Peña 4, Yeo 3, Miranda 1, Reyes 0.    

TNT shows firepower against Barako's 'Manong Republic'

Defending champion Talk 'N Text showed Barako Bull Thursday night that it has enough firepower to match the 'Manong Republic' of the Energy.


The Tropang Texters leveled their best-of-five semifinals series in the PBA Commissioner's Cup after coasting to a 123-98 win over the Energy at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.


Seven of TNT coach Chot Reyes' wards finished in double figures led by import Donnell Harvey's all-around performance of 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals and three blocks.

Ranidel De Ocampo tallied 18 markers while Larry Fonacier came off the bench and scattered 14 more. Ryan Reyes had 13 while Kelly Williams and Jimmy Alapag scored 12 each.


Jayson Castro was the last Texter in double figures with 10. Jared Dillinger, who earlier was slapped a flagrant foul, could have scored 10 or more points if he had not been ejected after getting a technical foul late in the third.


Barako controlled the game early in the first quarter with import Gabe Freeman, Don Allado and Ronald Tubid teaming up to help the Energy enjoy an eight-point lead, 21-13, with still two minutes left.

But Reyes, De Ocampo and Fonacier buried timely baskets in the opening period to keep Talk 'N Text within striking distance entering the second.

 Both teams exchanged scoring spurts early in the second quarter with neither team posting double-digit leads. An 8-2 closing run had the Texters holding on to a 55-45 halftime spread, a lead that ballooned further in the second half.


Harvey and Alapag joined the scoring fray bridging the third and fourth quarters as the Texters built a 20-point edge, 108-88, midway in the fourth.

The Energy failed to keep up with the Texters' fast-paced offense with their veterans failing to deliver at the clutch unlike in their Game One win where Danny Seigle, Wynne Arboleda, Ronald Tubid and Dorian Peña piled up the points in the payoff period.


The Tropang Texters equal the series into 1-1. The next game will be held at Smart Araneta Coliseum on April 14, 2012, Saturday.

History of Museo Sugbo

"It is useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice."

                                                                                                                                        

                                                                                                              - Jose Rizal -

      Museo Sugbo is Cebu's provincial museum located along M.J. Cuenco Avenue, a part of an Spanish-era district in Cebu City. This was once the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), home of the famous dancing inmates. Before it became CPDRC, it was called Carcel de Cebu. Designed by Dominggo de Escondrillas in 1869, the building was constructed to be the main prison for the Visayas district. Withstanding both time and the elements, Carcel de Cebu's structures made of coral stone and lime mortar have now become Cebu's history keeper.

     The Museo Sugbo has the noble task of reconstructing Cebuano history; Cebuanos have the sheer pleasure of taking a time travel through viewing he museum's thirteen galleries.
     On August 5,2008, Museo Sugbo was formally inaugurated with just four galleries.
     Today, 12 fully-airconditioned galleries in three interrelated museums complete with Wi-Fi facilities as well as museum shops and even a wishing well make Museo Sugbo truly an experience you will treasure.

     You can visit and enjoy the artifacts anytime you wanted.

Ateneo beats La Salle in Game 1

It’s been a while since La Salle last lost a game in the UAAP women’s volleyball. Sadly, it had to this one.

Behind a game-high 24 points from rookie Alyssa Valdez and 19 from Fille Cainglet, the Ateneo Lady Eagles pulled off a shocking upset win of the Lady Spikers 23-25, 28-26, 25-23, 25-17 in the opening match of the Season 74 finals.

Ateneo not only ended their almost 5-year losing streak to La Salle, they also gave the Lady Spikers their first “real” defeat since 2010. La Salle had one win reversed last season by a technicality but the last time they lost on the court was in game 2 of the Season 72 finals against UST

In the first three sets of the match, La Salle led for the most part but Ateneo would always stage a rally towards the end. The Lady Spikers were lucky to escape the first set despite blowing a 23-17 lead. It was all Ateneo come the fourth set as they made sure that there won’t be another La Salle comeback similar to their last elimination round match.

The stellar performance of the Lady Eagles today must have sucked the life out of the team. The team’s energy and swagger that they have shown all season was clearly missing in this game.

Abigail Marano top scored for the Lady Spikers with 17 points while Michele Gumabao and rookie Victonara Galang added 14 apiece.

The series is now reduced to a best-of-three affair. Game 2 will be played this Saturday.

FEU Lady Tamaraws versus UST Lady Tigresses

     FEU Lady Tamaraws won 3 sets to 1 against the UST Tigresses last January 22, 2012, Sunday at San Juan Arena.
     The first set was won by the UST Tigresses with the score 25-23. Taking revenge against UST, the FEU Lady Tamaraws showcased their teamwork and won sets 2,3 and 4. The score was 25-20, 25-23 and 25-23 respectively.
     The Tamaraws won this game largely because of the best player Rosemarie Vargas' terrific performance as she had 27 points, 21 of which came from her powerful attacks, with 2 blocks and 4 successful serves.
     The second reason why they won this game was that they showed a great floor defense against the attacks of UST's Maruja Banaticla, Maika Ortiz and Judy Caballejo.
