EJ Obiena captures gold in LA Grand Prix
(UPDATE) POLE vaulter Ernest John "EJ" Obiena resumed his Paris Olympics build-up by capturing the gold medal in the Los Angeles Grand Prix at the Drake Stadium on May 19. The first Filipino Paris Games qualifier cleared 5.80 meters to rule the competition and claim his third championship out of four tournaments he joined this year. Obiena bested Norway's Simen Guttormsen and home bet KC Lightfoot, who both cleared 5.70 m. Guttormsen defeated Lightfoot via countback (fewer attempts) to claim the silver medal, while the latter settled for bronze. Obiena skipped 5.30 m and then aced

Analysts still expect BSP to move after Fed
PHILIPPINE monetary authorities are unlikely to cut key rates ahead of the US Federal Reserve despite pronouncements to the contrary, analysts said. Last week, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli Remolona Jr. said the Monetary Board could start easing in August, before a widely-expected Fed move in September. The central bank chief said they were not worried about the possible impact on the peso and attributed the confidence as due to lower-than-expected April inflation. The market had expected a breach of the 2.0- to 4.0-percent target of 4.1 percent, but the rate — while up

Unpredictable
Unpredictable. For this years UAAP womens volleyball, De La Salle Lady Spikers beat their nemesis NU Lady Bulldogs twice. NU never got their revenge. But on the other hand, surprising UST blasted the defending champions Lady Spikers twice off the court for two rounds. Never mind if last years MVP Angel Canino of La Salle got badly injured in the second round or not. That's gone. Part of the game. Everyone gets injured. So who ends up Champion? For beating UST twice too, NU of Mr. Hans Sy. (Though his heart is still in Taft). This is why I congratulated my friend Rod Roque of UE, the
