One of the players who fought until the end was Rey Nambatac. Despite the 102-100 heartbreaker, Nambatac said he has no regrets with how TNT performed in the best-of-seven series opener against the Gin Kings. That, plus the fact that he was able to find his offensive rhythm–albeit too late. “I don’t have any regrets because we gave them a good fight and we gave the fans a show,” Nambatac said in Filipino. “Actually, this is […]...

Comelec summons campaign donors of Escudero, Marcoleta

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has summoned the campaign donors of Senators Rodante Marcoleta and Francis “Chiz” Escudero in connection with the complaints filed against them.

This time, however, Comelec chair George Erwin Garcia said that separate complaints were filed against Lawrence Lubiano, Escudero’s donor in the 2022 elections, and Marcoleta’s 2025 campaign donors, namely Michael Tan Defensor, Joseph Varias Espiritu, and Aristotle Baluyut Viray.
