What is this thing I heard on ESPN that a supposed Philippines newspaper
had an article that said several of the Little League Team's players
for over-age by several months?

Is this going to be another embarassing event for us?

The first is correct! This was done to (1) address protests from speakers  
of other dialects (re Tagalog as the national language), and (2) make the  
name of the language the same as the name of the people of the Philippines  
(as in German, Japanese, etc. for both the people and the language).

Thus, with (1) above, Filipino is the national language while Tagalog  
(which was also referred to as Pilipino before) is one of the local  
dialects.

Ben, isang tanong lang:  Pinoy sa Pilipinas o rito sa Amerika?
Well, I'll try to cover both.

In the Philippines, sa mga kakilala kong lalake, wala namang
masyadong maporma.  Kadalasan kasi, alam mo na, magiging biktima
sila ng tuksuhan(UUUUYYY, bago, puwedeng mabinyagan?, etc.)  Since 
it is mostly their nature to be shy (NOT siya'y tiga-... ), 
as much as possible, they try to avoid it.  Besides, alaws 
namang dinero para panggastos...Well, come to think of it, I'd
encountered a few who are galante when it comes to trying hard
to get you to go out with them.  Well, hindi ako madaling 
masilaw eh...
Sa teenager naman, lalo na ang laki sa layaw o TH (trying hard) 
to be, nandiyan ang Swatch watch, LA Gear, Nike, new haircut na 
may buntot, etc...I know, coz my nephew used to be or is still 
is.  I guess they go through the 'kababawan' (shallowness) process
at some phase para sikat.

Sa mga kakilala ko rito sa Amerika, kung hindi porma sa kotse o 
kasuotan, mahangin naman (parang hurricane Andrew ;^)).  Mayroon 
ding galante.  A few months after I got here in the States, may
nagladlad ng pitaka niya sa akin at ipinakita ang sangkatutak
na credit cards niya (Citibank, Chase, American Express, etc...
Same thing happened but this time with an American.  I am the
only lady in my group here at work and I do encounter 'hurricanes' 
inside the building.  Of course, alam niyo na ang nangyayari to 
the likes of them(see above)...he-he-he.

In general, I have observed it with anybody of any nationality;
whether here or in the Philippines.  In my own personal opinion,
it is an expression of insecurity of their inner personality,
who they really are (maybe, because they still don't know).
That is why they have to camouflage it with something.  No
offense intended: Bato-bato sa langit, tamaan 'wag magalit.

   I think this was done to incorporate some proper nouns like Divisoria (V), Cubao (C), 
Zobel(Z), Novaliches(CH), etc , to the language.  

   And also I think this was one of the 'accomplishments' of the New Society (Marcos) or
is it  Aquino's  administration?

I used to wear only 501's and they were definitely *ouch-less* jeans. They
faded beautifully, too. Unfortunately, I've grown out of them and have

Thursday's Results
Zamboanga City, Philippines d. Epyguerrero, Santo Domingo 5-1
Zamboanga City wins International Championship

Long Beach, CA d. Hamilton Square, NJ 1-0
Long Beach wins US Championship

Saturday's Game
Zamboanga City, Philippines vs Long Beach, CA, 3:00 pm CDT

WS NOTES:
Roberto Placious pitched a brilliant ball game for the Filipinos, sending
the first 15 batters down in order before giving up a line drive through
the mound w/ no outs in the sixth. Placious also hit a homer in the top
of the sixth to help seal the victory. The Filipinos scored four runs
in the fourth thanks to some uncharacteristically shoddy defense by the
Dominicans. This win avenges the 8-1 loss to the Dominicans on Wednesday
in round robin play. 

Too bad Placious won't be able to pitch more than an inning Saturday. He
had full command of his curveball and breaking pitch and was able to
keep the hard-hitting Dominicans on their heels all game long. The 
comment made by Jeff Burroughs, manager of Long Beach and a former
American League MVP in 1974, was that Placious has the poise of a pitcher
in high school or college. For a boy of 12 years!

There is an ABC special, "The Road to the Little League World Series"
hosted by Bill Fagenbakke of "Coach", at 11:30 am CDT Saturday for
30 minutes. ABC's Wide World of Sports coverage begins at 2:30 pm, with
the game beginning at 3:00 pm. 

If you enjoyed Brent Musburger and Jim Palmer butchering Pinoy last names
on the ESPN tape delay yesterday, you'll really get a kick out of this
live broadcast.

IMHO, Zamboanga City has far exceeded everyone's expectations going into
tomorrow's game. They are the Far East champs, carrying the mantle of
other great Far East reps of past years from Japan and Taiwan. However,
the Philippines are their own team, mixing a brand of pitching, defense,
and blazing team speed that is on par with the best major league teams.
Sure, I only watched one game, but I was impressed not only as a Filipino,
but as a baseball fan. Long Beach is long on talent and experience, with
Burroughs behind the bench. But Zamboanga City has nothing to lose now. 
Boys, you've done your country proud already. The title would be nothing 
more than lace trim on a Cinderella season. Go for it!

Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- President Fidel Ramos ordered the
military Friday to forcibly evacuate thousands of residents threatened
by mudflows from Mount Pinatubo volcano to prevent further loss of life.
	Presidential spokeswoman Annabelle Abaya said Ramos was ``extremely
concerned'' about the danger and instructed Defense Secretary Renato de
Villa to dispatch military vehicles with loudspeakers and sirens to urge
residents to flee.
	Abaya said the president instructed troops to ``bodily remove those
who refuse to cooperate in the evacuation.''
	Ramos' order came amid defiance by villagers who refused to leave
their homes despite the threat posed by the mudflows during the typhoon
season.
	Officials could not give an estimate of the number of residents in
the threatened villages.
	Storm-induced monsoon rains sent millions of tons of smoldering
volcanic debris roaring down the volcano's slopes Saturday, sweeping
away 7,000 houses and burying villages at its base, 50 miles north of
Manila.
	Rebecca David, a duty officer at the regional disaster coordinating
center, said at least 16 people were reported killed and four others
were missing and feared dead in floods and mudflows over the past three
weeks.
	David said six others were injured, most of them scalded by steaming
rocks, ash and mud which were washed down the volcano's flanks during
heavy rains Saturday.
	She said 140,709 families, or 844,254 persons, have been affected by
the floods and mudflows triggered by four tropical storms that pummeled
the country.
	They include residents in 552 villages and 55 towns in the Central
Luzon region just north of Manila whose homes, farms asnd property were
damaged or destroyed.
	David said damage was estimated at more than $9.5 million.
	Officials have acknowledged that defensive dams built along rivers to
slow mudflows have had little effect.
	The government has ordered the construction of 11 permanent
resettlement sites outside the danger area but only four are being
built.
	Mount Pinatubo blew its top in June 1991 in one of the world's
largest volcanic eruptions, belching billions of tons of debris which
have been deposited on its flanks. Scientists said the threat of
mudflows could last up to 10 years.
	The volcano has been showing signs it was preparing for another big
eruption in the next several days, scientists said.

Baseball (and/or softball) used to be played in the rural areas (at
least in during the 1960s - 1970s) in summer after the crops had been
harvested. Yes, they use the dried rice paddies as the playing field.
Tne barrio (later called barangay) have a set of bats and gloves. It it
common to have 2 bats and 1 catcher gloves, several right-handed gloves
and one or two left-handed gloves.

Of course, this tradition was replaced by basketball and volleyball.

If I remember correctly, the Phil. softball team (girls) was rank 1st or
2nd in the world in the 70s. They are called "The Blue Girls".
