posted any details of the event?

I just got back from Vacation, so right now I'm trying to catch up on
all the thread that is going. It seems like the majority is talking
about "Home-bound".

Maybe I can relate to this thread once I am able to visit the Philippines,
but for now, i'll just keep on reading. (I haven't visited the Phils. since
I left - 1976 ).

Can't really say much about the Pinays, but I also thought that the cheering 
was loud and enthusiastic. I was able to figure out what they were saying
("Isa pa!) because they were holding up one finger. I'm also not 30 yet
(he-he) so I didn't make the "Shin Dong Pa" connection, although his name 
sounds familiar.

I don't know, at some point they had the camera on the pitcher (can't remember
which one) while he was winding up for a pitch, and he was definitely
trying to be cute, as in doing a GQ pose kind of thing, not exactly what
I would call shy. But unfortunately, I didn't catch the end because ABC cut
off their coverage, so I didn't see them celebrating, except for picture in
our local paper. Several team members were clustered and it looked like they 
were giving one player nooggies (sp?). I told a friend that they were tickling
the player and that it was a cultural thing :-)

How about LIM-ASAWA |-)  Joking aside, I think Lim is a common
filipino-chinese surname in the Philippines. My brother-in-law's

my in-law's name is Rafael Nicolas, aka Kuya Nick, born and

There's a famous military general named Lim in Philippine history.
Don't remember the first name though. Anyone knows?

In the days when ABC did same-day coverage of the LLWS, the producers would
be able to edit out the "boring" stuff and were able to televise the last
play, for better or worse. Especially all those Far East victories of
the last two or three decades.

I didn't think ABC would violate an unwritten rule, the "Heidi" rule, that
you never cut away from a game, even if it looks to be a lopsided result.
NBC's coverage of the Cream Team is an exception. They already knew the
final outcome by the time they come on the air in prime time.

Oh, well. I guess we'll have to make these games closer to be able to see
the finish. Didn't anyone teach these Filipino baseball players anything? :)

<As the title suggests, what are the current slang words used by the
<Filipino Youth, in particular, Metro Manila Youth.

<Is promdi still used?  (yes, I know what it means)

<A long time ago, I heard of Baguettes.  What are they?

<Any new terms?

<Is the expression dane (sp?) still used?

As far as I remember the word "bagets" started sometime in 1982.
The term I believe evolved from the word "bagito" meaning
newcomer/greenhorn. Bagets basically refer to a teen-ager.
There was a movie entitled "Bagets" in 1983 starring the Regal
babies who were of teen age. Later own those young stars became
known as "bagets'. (I think Herbert Bautista was one of the original
Bagets).

When I went home in December of 1990, the latest lingo then  was
"ST"  What I gathered from my former officemates "ST"
means "Sex Trip" and refer to the women "bomba stars".

Please  correct me on the accuracy of the foregoing.



    On another matter, I wonder why it will cost $180,000 to ship
back the Marcos remains.  Indeed it will cost that much if Imelda is
entertaining the idea of using a charter plane; which is ridiculous
since Imelda continues to claim she is penniless despite moving
around Manila in a chauffered Mercedes.
   My mother died in San Francisco in 1989 and we shipped back her
remains via Northwest to Manila.  I recall it did not
cost us more than $2,000. That was 3 years ago and let us take into
consideration that fares and cargo rates have gone up.
But still that will not add up to $180,000!  By the way, human
remains are considered as cargo.
    Imelda may be thinking of using the regular commercial flight
but she is purchasing a special casket and special funeral
service costing $178,000.
    Anyway, who knows what goes on in Imelda's brain and whatelse to
expect from her bag of "pakulos" and "paeklats".

Viva Zamboanga!!! Well, I'm doubly proud because I'm from Zamboanga City.
Yes, baseball and softball are very popular in Zamboanga. Way back in 74
or 75, we already won the National Little League. We are also quite strong
in men's softball. Among the best "blue boys" (RP team) are from Zamboanga,
including the once number-one pitcher Felino Francisco.

From memory, Samar, Laguna, Rizal, and Zamboanga-Basilan are the provinces
that produce the best baseball/softball players.

It's funny that, despite the expensive equipement, baseball and softball
are more popular in the rural areas of Zamboanga than in the city proper.
In the city itself, it's mainly basketball for the young, cockfight (which
we call "Gallera") for the not-so-young.

Billiards, playing cards, chess, and dominos are also very, very popular.

I went home last X'mas and the "moda" in Zamboanga was scuba diving - well 
we have among the best coral reefs ... `Heard of the Sta. Cruz Islands?

- Arnie -

ps. 

Is the name of the pitcher really Roberto Placious? That sounds strange. Might 
be "Palacios", which sounds more filipino. People from my city tend to pronounce 
the o's as u -  "Palacios" might have been pronounced as "palasyus" - and the
the journalist probably studied too much of Latin :-)

Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- Soldiers aboard helicopters plucked
marooned residents from their rooftops Monday in five towns swamped by
an avalanche of mud and rocks from Mount Pinattubo volcano.
	President Fidel Ramos ordered the release of $18 million to a region
north of the capital where more than 270,000 people have been affected
by the mudflows.
	The rivers of smoldering volcanic debris mixed with water, called
lahar, were causedc by heavy rains brought by tropical storm Polly,
which lashed the northern Philippines during the weekend.
	Relief workers using trucks and motor boats ferried food and clothing
to villages isolated by floodwaters or damaged roads and bridges in the
provinces of Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales in the Central Luzon Plains,
50 miles north of Manila.
	Rescue officials said 54,722 families, or 276,774 persons, have fled
their homes to cramped evacuation centers or had their properties and
means of livelihood destroyed by the mudflows in the three provinces
since Saturday.
	Of the eight casualties, two died of heart attack, one was
electrocuted and the rest were buried or scalded to death by the
steaming volcanic rocks and mud washed down the volcano's slopes into
villages at its base.
	Some 7,000 homes were buried in Mabalacat town, Pampanga province,
where the villages of Dolores and Tabun were almost wiped out by lahar
rampaging at 50 mph on the swollen Sacobia River.
	``Unbelievable,'' exclaimed Pampanga Gov. Bren Guiao after surveying
the devastation. ``Had it not been for the response of rescue teams,
many people would have perished.''
	The rains stopped Monday and residents slowly began to pick up the
pieces of what was left of their homes.
	``The sun is shining today, the panic has subsided,'' Rebecca David,
a duty officer at the Regional Disaster Coordinating Center, said by
telephone.
	``It was the worst lahar flow I have ever seen,'' said farmer Roger
Diola, 56.
	``How can I retrieve our belongings when our house has been buried,''
he said pointing to where his two-story home formerly stood.
	The road linking Dolores and Tabun was blanketed by lahar 10 feet
thick.
	Defense Secretary Renato de Villa, who visited the area Monday, said
a new road has to be constructed on top of the lahar because it was too
expensive to scrape the debris.
	Ramos announced the release of the money during a news conference at
the presidential palace. Half of the funds would come from the national
government while the rest would be drawn from a state-sanctioned
lottery.

Don't let the subject heading mislead you, I just have a question about
this word.   Last week, my friends and I had a discussion on this word.
I'm from Davao so my Tagalog is not exactly correct but having parents
who were originally from Luzon, my Cebuano (or Visayan) is not correct
either.  Anyway,  the question is:  If you use the word to describe someone,
does it mean the person is "naiinggit?" or is he "nang-iinggit?"
Thanks a lot to native tagalog speakers who can clarify it for me.
