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.

Filipino Catholic’s open letter to Duterte: Stop attacking the Church and focus on preventing China from invading us.

Monty Mendigoria, a Catholic and the president of the Skateboard Association of the Philippines Inc. writes an open letter to the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Mendigoria, it seems, is worried about the president giving our country to China. Monty Mendigoria and President Rodrigo Duterte / Composite photos from Facebook and northboundasia Church issues He started by telling the president that Catholics hear mass because they believe in God, not because of the priests. And if ever they give donations, it is from the own free will, and not anything that was imposed or something. Some just want to be a good instrument while they walk the earth. So he advised the president that if he does not believe in God then he should let those who believe Him be. Stop attacking the Church and start focussing on the real issue.

Sara tells Leni: Don't retreat to 'Robredo camp' to respond to honesty issues

Photo from GMA News Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte on Sunday advised Vice President Leni Robredo not to retreat to a "Robredo camp" in responding to comments regarding her supposed questionable integrity and honesty. The presidential daughter made the remark after Robredo's spokesperson, lawyer Barry Gutierrez, and the Liberal Party  responded to her tirades  against the Vice President for saying that dishonest people should not run for public office. In a statement, Mayor Duterte said Robredo should answer herself the comments directly addressed to her. "A reminder to Leni Robredo: Kapag umatake ka, at sinagot ka ng inatake mo to question your authority to speak on integrity and honesty, do not retreat behind a "Robredo Camp" to answer for you and the argument you started," Mayor Duterte said. "It says a lot about your fake courage," she added. Mayor Duterte, campaign manager of the administration's Senate slate in the May ...

Franchise Renewal ng ABS-CBN muling isinantabi ng Kamara

Photo from Google Images Muling naisantabi sa Kamara ang panukalang Franchise renewal ng broadcasting network na ABS-CBN. Sa pinakahuling pagdinig ng House Committee on Legislative Franchises na pinamumunuan ni Palawan Cong. Franz Chicoy Alvarez, hindi pinansin ang inihaing franchise renewal application ng Kapamilya network. Ito’y sa kabila ng limang (5) panukalang batas na nakasalang hinggil dito. Nabatid na mas nabigyan pa ng pansin ang prangkisa ng iba pang kumpanya kabilang ang First United Broadcasting Corporation, Lanao Del Norte Electric Cooperative, Bicol Light at Power Corporation kahit pa may pagtutol ang ilang miyembro ng Franchise panel. Paliwanag naman ni Alvarez, naunang asikasuhin ang franchise application ng mga nabanggit na kumpanya alinsunod na rin sa Section 48 ng House rules. Pinamamadali aniya ng nasabing patakaran ang pagtalakay sa mga panukalang lehislasyon na inaprubahan na ng nakalipas ng Kongreso subalit bigong maging ganap na batas....
