KBBL Season 3 Opening

lifted form Chunky Ramos' email dated 5/2/09

Rigmarolers!

It's on! At 1pm today, May 2, PCC gym, the 3rd season of KBBL will officially commence, 4 games to follow afterward. This edition may prove to be the most competitive based on the participating batches.

Attached are the rules and our official line-up which our 5 man selection committee came up with. It's unfortunate that we were limited to "just" 25 players so not everyone was accommodated. Also, one of our main men from last season is suffering from a severe injury so he will be sidelined this year. A major addition that will not be realized is Giovanni Pineda whom I was told can not make it home until December.

Anyway, with the commitment that we got from our 25 players (kahit nagsasakitan na mga tuhod), and of course with the limitless support from our batch, we will still contend for the championship. .

Will post schedule once it's finalized. Hope to see you at the games!!!

Rigmarole,

Chunky

6'7" Rigmaroler in Manila?

A 6-foot-7 Rigmaroler has been recently sighted here in Manila.

According to a very reliable source, the 6'7" behemoth has been spotted roaming the tiangge shops of the Philippines' shopping capital, Greenhills. The tallest Rigmaroler is supposedly on vacation here in the Philippines for a short time.

This report, however, cannot be confirmed as recent correspondences with the said Rigmaroler have indicated that he shall not be going home until December later this year.

This rumor has stirred interest, especially in view of the upcoming opening of the 3rd Kumbento Boys' Basketball League. His height, let alone his basketball skills, shall be a tremendous boost to the campaign of this season's solidified effort to bring back the crown to the Centennial Team.

So will the real Giovanni Pineda please stand up?

KBBL Season 3 Opens on May 2

Rigmarolers,

There was a meeeting last night at PCC which Teyob attended. It's a go on May 2, we are being asked to submit final line-up and entry fee on Wed, Apr. 29.

There's a change in the participating teams as batch 83 has decided to rest their old, weary legs. However, batch 95 has come forward to take their place. Teams and brackets are as follows:

Bracket A 87, K88, 89, 90, 91, PCC GC
Bracket B 93, 94, 95, 99, 00, PCC GC

We're now the second oldest batch, buti na lang 1 team na lang tayo, making us more competitive. Kaya lang since 25 lang ang allowed sa line-up (we tried haggling for additional but was turned down), not everyone can be accommodated. A 5 man selection committe made up of 2 players each from K88A and K88B and a member of our management / coaching staff has been tasked to come-up with our line-up.

I will post as soon as they have finalized, told them to come up with their decision not later than Sat as we still need to have new uniforms made. Criteria are availability, skill and attitude.

Rigmarole,

Chunky

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Rigmarolers!

It's been more than a year since I was diagnosed with cancer and started my battle against the disease. With all your help especially through your prayers I was able to confront the challenges and eventually won the fight. My latest CT Scan result shows complete remission of the cancer cells earlier detected all over my body. I'm healed.

The good news came on Easter Sunday. A brand new life, a brand new start. Prayer works!

Except for some 'interstitial infiltrates' found in the upper lobes of my lungs (which could lead to tuberculosis) and gallstones in my gall bladder, I'll be ok. I developed the 'infiltrates' and gallstones as a side effect of my chemotherapy treatment. But its more manageable and more predictable compared to cancer.

I'm so anxious to share the good news to everybody and somehow share hope to our family, relatives and friends who may be in a similar condition I've just been through.

Thank you very much.
