Ang pambato ng Team Philippines sa 2019 30th SEA Games surfing event na walang iba kundi si Roger Casugay, isa sa pinakamagaling na surfer ng bansa.


Sinasabing napakalakas ng tiyansa na maiuwi ni Casugay ang gold medal sapagkat higit sa ito ay tubong La Union, ay pamilyar na din ito sa Mona Liza’s point, isang tanyag na lugar sa pag-surf at siya ding pagdarausan ng SEAG competition. *

Ngunit sa di inaasahang insidente habang nagaganap ang gold medal match sa pagitan ng katunggaling Indonesian kung saan ay biglang naptol ang tali ng kanyang surf at tuluyan na nga itong nahulog mula sa kanyag surfboard.


Agad namang tinulungan ni Roger ang kanyang katunggali at iniligtas mula sa panganib, kahit na nakasalalay pa rito ang gintong medalya na kanilang pinaglalabanan.



Samantala, madami ang humanga sa kabayanihan na ginawa ni Roger, agad hinangaan sya ng mga nanood sa nasbing event at maging ang mga netizens ay pinapurihan din sya.



Ang ating bayaning surfer, bayani din ng mga hayop



Ngunit alam nyo ba, na isa din palang Animal rescuer si Casugay? Bukod kasi sa pagkakaligtas nya sa kanyang Indonesian competitor, ay mahilg din magligtas ng mga hayop ang ating magiting na atleta.

Ayon sa ulat ng Daily Tribune, nito lamang Oktubre, Si Roger at ang kanyang partner ay nasa Calicoan Island in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, para sa ikalawang yugto ng sinasalihang kompetisyon na Philippine Surfing Champonship nang may nakitang aso na pipilay-pilay ito.

Pagkatapos ng kompetisyon ay daliang dinala ni Casugay ang kawawang aso sa isang beterinaryo upang ipagamot ito. Kahit pa kinailangang magbyahe ng tatlong oras para makarating sa beterinaryo.

Maging ang kanyang partner na isang foreigner na taga Netherleands na si Lisa Verweil, ay mahilig din magrescue ng mga stray cats.


Makikita sa isang post ni Lisa sa kanyang Facebook account noong October 22, aniya: “A few days ago we found a very injured dog at the beach of Calicoan, Samar. Both his back legs fractured and open wounds. It was heartbreaking and so sad. Also very skinny, hungry and thirsty.  Today I’m so grateful to say we were able to bring the dog to Tacloban (3 hours) drive. We found a rescue shelter who will take care of him and brought him to the vet. The leg(s) will be amputated.”
  
 “Forever grateful to Hope and Haven 4-Paws Animal Rescue in Tacloban for taking care of this dog and give him a chance to live. So thankful. You’re doing amazingly good work and definitely can use more donations,” dagdag pa ng kasintahang si Lisa. *

Samantala, sa kasagsagan ng balitang pagligtas ni Roger sa kapwa surfer, nagsalita naman ang may ari ng asong narescue nina Roger sa Eastern Samar.

“Roger has a heart of gold he rescued our dog with broken back legs last month brought him to the vet in Tacloban 3 hours away and paid for his medical bills,” ayon sa entrepreneur at designer na si Renée Patron.

Dagdag pa ni Patron, ang pangalan ng asong niligtas nina Roger ay nag-ngangalang “Chuey”. Isa si Chuey sa mga alagang aso ni Patron na mula Giuan, Eastern Samar.
Sa kasalukuyan, nakapost sa official Facebook page ng 2019 SEA Games, inanunsiyo nito na pansamantalang pinagpapaliban muna ang Surfing competion.
Isa ang surfing sa mga naapektuhang event sa 2019 SEA Games dulot ng Bagyong Kammuri o may kilala sa atin bilang bagyong “Tisoy”. Mas prayoridad umano ng mga organizers ang kapakanan at kaligtasan ng mga atleta.

Duterte arrives in Japan for 4-day visit

Photo from Google Images President Rodrigo Duterte safely arrived in Tokyo for his third official visit in Japan on Tuesday night. Duterte's plane touched down at Haneda International Airport at 8:52 p.m. (local time). He was accompanied by 16 Cabinet members and some 200 delegation. Philippine Ambassador to Tokyo Jose Laurel V earlier said that this could be a "reward" for Duterte's Cabinet officials after the favorable results of the midterm elections to the administration.

Image combined credit to PhilStar, Atimes.com It was controversial at the time, the newly proposed and designed license plates of the administration of former President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III. Yet due to illegalities with the contract that Aquino had with the Dutch-Filipino Consortium PPI-JKG Philippines Inc. which didn’t pay taxes, the Supreme Court, on June 14, 2016, halted the release of license plates. How much did the consortium owe the government in taxes? P40 million! This and related photos are posted in the FG pages of Top Gear PH This irresponsibility lead to the hold up of the release of the plates which reached almost 2 years.

Forbes news journalist: Australia produces dirtiest players in NBA

Photo from  Zimbio.com News writer and commentator Mitch Lawrence through an article written for Forbes, said that if there is one thing Australia is good for when it comes to NBA, it would be exporting dirty players. The journalist named a few players, one of which is Matthew Dellavedova, the Cleveland Cav’s third-year reserve guard, who was voted as the league’s dirtiest player in a poll by the Los Angeles Times. n a game against Golden State in Cleveland, Dellavedova secured 13 votes, largely off last season’s playoffs, when he became embroiled in several controversial plays during the Cavs’ run to the Finals.

Sandwiched in between the Aussies is Oklahoma City center Steven Adams, from New Zealand, who got seven votes. “So what the heck is going on Down Under – and nearby in the land of the Kiwi, anyway?” The journalist quoted said Sixers coach Brett Brown...
