For the opening intro of this article, let me quote the incomparable darts blogger from  New Zealand,  the man from Pitogo, Makati, pareng Ronel B. Botor – “Ber months na. Amoy pasko na naman”  It is September na, mga dartpeeps,  huling quarter ng taon. Time to step up, pukol to the max para maging masaya ang inyong pasko.

International News:  Maluri Open, Malaysia
Mainit-init pa, according to Pareng Botor. Kagaya ng ADA tournament sa Seoul, Korea, namayagpag ang mga pinoy darters.  Open Singles event:  Champion – Andy “The Superman” Villamor, Runner-up -  Lourence “The Gunner” Ilagan. 

4-Man Team, with the biggest prize money, ang  top 3 ay Pinoy teams.  Champion:  Team Renegade nila Nayr “The Internationalist” Ocampo,  Edward “The Heartthrob” Santos” and the Boys brothers – Boy Gionzon and Boie Parfan.  Runner-up:  Gunner’s team and the Joint 3rd and 4th placers:  Shanghai Darts Singapore (Andy Villamor, Pretty Boy Toto Andrade, Prussian The Specialist Arceno and Blackhawk Salinas).

Tidbits:  Ang P50K Binay Cup noong sabado  ay maayos ang patakbo at nasa hustong oras. Well in control ang beteranong NDF team of Rommel, Marvin and Ryan. By the way, nasagap ko from Kap Logie Estacio na etong batikan na TD Rommel Escubil ay nasa top 5 rated darters pala  ng Makati (DFM) in the 90’s and very promising.  Ka-level ang pukol niya kina Freddie Deen, Celso Parfan (Celso pa si Boie noon), Edwin Dalusong.  Kaya lang, lumihis ang career niya at pinili ang mag TD kaysa mag player. Nice choice, Rommel.....
Naglaro ang mga taga Daet, led by pretty muse, Leah Racelis at dalawang scholarly looking darters, Oliven and Juris. There were darters also from Sariaya, Pagsanjan, San Pablo, Batangas, Baguio, Olongapo, Subic, Bulacan and Dubai. Nice seeing you guys......
Met the good looking Obando darters na pinamunuan ng artistahing Raymond Orig Legaspi and they have an ongoing league in Obando at matatapos sa December.  Napanood ko ang magandang laban sa You Tube ni Raymond kalaban si Ian Perez sa palaro ng office nila - Telus BPO.  Aba, upakan ng husto ang dalawa at natalo ang national champion The Titan.  Ang galing! Pero di kaya na photoshop ng taga Telus yung outcome ng laro? Joke lang, Raymond.......

Also talked with Dubai darters, Aries Mendoza and Noel Cabitac. Welcome home guys and hope to see you in the local tournaments......The original hip hop boys will no longer exist. Nabuwag na.  Jason Suerto now stays in Olongapo.  Javar Belarmino ay tumanda na at naging mama bigla.  Siyempre naman, dalawa na ang panganay noh!  And the third in the triumvirate, Oyo Lloyd Gaddi no longer wears a funky hat .  Ang hairdo niya ay kapares na ni Aple de Ap of the Black Eyed Peas and Blackhawk Salinas. Nag reunion sila sa Binay Cup in Makati noong sabado.  Nagka iyakan sa asar, hahaha.......

Umuusok kong nakapanayam si Joseph Domanais at medyo napipikon sa umuugong na kwento na  laos na raw siya kaya di na sinasama sa laro abroad.  Joseph, if you don’t know, has been a 12 time national team player (consecutive ha) and has never miss out on any elimination round conducted ever.  Nahinto lang ang pagka national player niya nang siya ay nagtrabaho abroad sa Abu Dhabi for 7 years. Eto naman ang masasabi ni Joseph sa mga kumokontra sa kanya.  Ok lang na sabihin na laos na siya kaysa sa inyo na di pa sumikat, na laos na agad.  But take note, Joseph, just 2 months ago was awarded MVP honors in the ADA tourney in Korea.  Me asim pa ang The Dominator na yan.....

My good friend, the Cutest Pinoy Ally Salazar also copped minor honors in Maluri Open. Di pa napanahon tumiba ng Major wins.  Pero take note, di na bobokya yan pag lumabas sa ibang bansa. Huwag mainip.  Antay lang tayo....... And last but not the least, my teammate in Survivor, Jorevi Rivera, was just an outing away from being crowned the champion in the Open Singles last Saturday.  Gabuhok lang.  Di niya lang nakuha ang outing sa decision game nila with Robert in the finals. Ang daming magaling at rated darters ang sinibak – Condat, Ka Bonie Evangelista, Angelo Naya, Caloy Manalastas, Rodel “Kubeta King”Villa, PJ Jugo. Tumira ng maraming clutch outing shots ( 124, 130 etc)  si The River habang ang kalaban ay naka set up na. Ibang iba ang bato niya nung gabing yun.  Relaxed na relaxed. Di man lang nangangamba tumunog ang cellphone sa bulsa.  Ang sikreto - nandoon pala at nanood ang misis nya.  Yun Oh!  Congrats Jorevi and congrats also to the back to back champ Robert Malupit Calupit........

P150K Darterong Pinoy no entry fee -  malapit na.
