Where to Watch PBA games in Metro Manila

PBA games are usually played at the Big Dome or popularly called Araneta Colosseum. I watched a PBA game once, could not clearly remember if I was in Upper Box A or B. But the ticket price was 75 pesos each. That was in 2007. I was with my two other friends.

Here are a bit of information about Araneta Colosseum. The images were taken from the Araneta  Colosseum website, just in case their site is down, you can still view it here.

Confessional at Robinson’s Galeria

I hope this is not too late.

Confessional showing in Robinson’s Galeria until August 19, 2008. This schedule is for Metro Manila only.

I have watched it today. Personally, it’s currently the most entertaining local Philippine movie. It has been one year and eight months since i last watched a tagalog movie, and it sucked. But this last one, did not.

Manuel L. Quezon in 1935

Manuel L. Quezon was inaugurated president on November, 1935. Considered to be the first Filipino President of the Philippine Commonwealth under the United States.

He was famous for his remarks:

“I prefer a country run like hell by Filipinos to a country run like heaven by Americans. Because, however bad a Filipino government might be, we can always change it.”

I don’t necessarily agree with that quote above, and i’m not being a US suck up.

He redeemed himself by saying this:

“My loyalty to my party ends where my loyalty to my country begins.”

PFF House of Football

I was blessed to have been invited in the opening of Philippine Football Federation’s House of Football last August 2, 2008. I was also fortunate to have captured FIFA President Sepp Blatter, using my Nikon D40. I even caught him yawning, probably jet lag tired.

The PFF House of Football is in Pasig City, standing on a corner lot and can be found at the end of the following streets: Capt. Henry P. Javier, Danny Floro Canley Road, Hill Crest Drive and Christian Route.

How to get there: From EDSA or crossing then go to at the end of Shaw boulevard. If you see rows of motels, then you’re already close to the PFF house.
