Tondo kids honored during SMC-FIBA event
MANILA, Philippines — Hundreds of students from Tondo, Manila who served as mascots or player escorts during the FIBA World Cup were honored during a ceremony that also marked the fourth year of San Miguel Corporation’s Better World Community Center, a food bank and learning institution that caters to over 500 families in the area.
Honqi officially opens in the Philippines
IF the Philippines and other nations have flag carriers that represent their countries in commercial flights, then China stands out as possibly the only nation globally to have its national flag represented by an automobile brand. This distinction belongs to the brand Hongqi (pronounced hong-chee), whose name literally translates to «red banner» in Chinese. This name not only reflects the color of China's flag but also symbolizes resilience, strength, and grandeur, making a bold statement in the automotive industry both locally and globally.

Asiad notes
HANGZHOU – The opening ceremony Saturday evening went according to plan except for a notable absence in the Philippine delegation. The chef-de-mission, fencing and modern pentathlon president Richard Gomez, was nowhere in sight. The STAR asked around regarding the whereabouts of the famous actor, multi-sport athlete and now congressman for Leyte’s Fourth District. “May budget hearing,” said POC chief Abraham Tolentino. “Hindi ko alam,” said one NSA president, who joined the parade. “Busy daw. And when he tried to book his plane ticket from Manila, wala na makuha,” said another sports official. An observer said the reason for his absence is none of the above. It’s the first time in any major international competition such as this that a Filipino chef-de-mission had gone missing in action. The Games will run until Oct. 8 so there’s enough time for Gomez to catch up. Better late than sorry. Gilas bubble

HANGZHOU – The opening ceremony for the 19th Asian Games on Saturday at the massive, 80,800-seat Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium is one that’s built to create lasting memories. Organizers said it will be a spectacle for future events of such magnitude to emulate.
