MANILA — Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman Butch Ramirez has agreed to grow to be the chef de challenge (CDM) for the 2019 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, which will be hosted using the Philippines in November. He will update taekwondo reliable Monsour del Rosario, who changed into eliminated from the placement following internal strife inside the leadership of the Philippine Olympic Committee.
“I humbly take delivery of the chef de challenge post for Team Philippines’ 2019 Southeast Asian Games participation,” Ramirez stated in a statement. “I receive the demanding situations of the CDM role, aside from the commands of my bosses, to heed the call for the assistance of the Philippine Olympic Committee.

That becomes what rang around the Mall of Asia Arena just moments after Ateneo de Manila University reclaimed the crown in UAAP Women’s Volleyball weeks in the past. Mind you, Sisi – Cherry Ann Rondina, as her full call is going – isn’t always a Lady Eagle. In fact, it became her who fronted the University of Sto. Tomas’ resistance to Ateneo. Still, Rondina’s was the call that the jam-packed crowd chanted first – and certainly after numerous others have been additionally yelled, the loudest.
“Sobrang saya ko dun sa nangyari. That time, and sarap sa feeling na ang dami mo pa lang long napapasaya through your passion na volleyball,” she narrated after making records as first Volleyball Player of the Year inside the 2019 Chooks-to-Go Collegiate Awards closing Monday. “Kaming lahat, Hindi lang ako, satisfying gaming naibalik namin Yung UST community. Nagsama-sama ulit sila, nagtiwala ulit sa amin.”
That outpouring of help for one particular player, though, surely felt like déjà vu – most effective, the first example was 5 months ago in a one-of-a-kind recreation.
In December of the remaining year, the Blue Eagles had wrapped up a dominant season for lower back-to-again championships in UAAP Men’s Basketball. And but, when the dirt settled, the Araneta Coliseum rocked with impassioned cries of “De-si-derio! De-si-derio! De-si-derio!” Paul Desiderio, the heart and soul of the University of the Philippines team that had to settle for a runner-up end, remained the maximum beloved player on the court. “Ako, Kung naaalala ko Yun, Sobrang saya ko pa rin kasi kitang-Kita talagang Yung network, nagkaisa para dun, para sa akin, para sa amin,” he recalled. Just like Rondina, Desiderio becomes at the losing end of the blue and white champions. But much like Rondina as properly, Desiderio had already won the hearts of almost anybody lengthy earlier than the Finals even started.
KING AND QUEEN OF HEARTS
Paul Desiderio isn’t the quickest, not the most powerful, not the tallest, no longer the most athletic, not the high-quality shooter, not the quality ball-handler, and no longer the excellent playmaker on his own group.
Still, he’s and will always be the number one protagonist in UP’s Cinderella run in Season eighty-one, who noticed them quit a 21-year Final Four drought and then cease a 32-year Finals absence.
The very identical may be stated about Rondina – an open hitter who stands at just 5-foot-6, however, although defies gravity along with her hops and the way she contorts her frame from doing down the road spikes to crosscourt assaults and vice versa. Following her lead, the Golden Tigresses barged returned to the land of the elite in Season eighty-one, where they made their first championship round in eight years.
“Si Desiderio Kasi, pareho kami ng pinaglaban. Nilaban namin’ Yung mga team name, and we adore our recreation,” she stated, speaking about the hanging similarities in what they had finished.
No doubt, the two were not talented with the best of bodily gear but greater than made up for it using having the greatest of hearts. And that did nothing, however, inspire their teammates and, more importantly, re-energized their sleeping giants of fanbases. “Isa lang naman Talaga gusto ko e – lang Makita Yung UST network na nakangiti Lahat,” Rondina said regarding the Espana-primarily based school currently houses over 40,000 students and has educated for 408 years. “Yun yung deserve nila e – na nakangiti at the quit.”
At the other stop of Quezon Avenue lies UP Diliman, which is domestic to greater than 20,000 students at present and has been educated for one hundred ten years. Now, imagine those sleeping giants of fanbases waking up and ultimately getting as much as cheer for his or her groups—their groups who were, without a doubt, the underdogs in both their Finals collection. And hiya, who does not love rooting for the underdogs?
