Defending champion San Mig Coffee gained the last ticket to the PBA Commissioner’s Cup semis by suppressing Meralco, 90-82, in Game 3 of their quarterfinals showdown.

Just like in their 2012 quarterfinals duel, the Mixers were able to fight back from a Game 1 defeat to the Bolts by claiming the next two games in their best-of-three series.

Marc Pingris had 14 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists for the Mixers, who will face league leader Alaska in the semifinals. The 6’5” forward was even more effective at the defensive end, containing Meralco’s Mac Cardona during the most crucial minutes of the game.

San Mig Coffee’s quarterfinals success was reminiscent of the same feat they pulled off against the Bolts in the 2012 edition of the Commissioner’s Cup.

Last year, Multi-awarded Chef & Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern said many good things about Filipino Food. . He even predicted that Filipino food is the next big thing after Thai, Japanese and Chinese food. Now, Another Famous Chef likened the Filipino food specifically the Filipino dessert ‘Halo-Halo’ which is being offered by the popular Filipino fast food chain, Jollibee.

Chef, author and TV personality Anthony Bourdain visited a Jollibee restaurant in Los Angeles and ate halo-halo for his new show, “Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown,” which aired on CNN on Sunday.

Vernon Macklin scored the last four points of the game, including the marginal free throws to lead Barangay Ginebra San Miguel to an 81-79 victory over the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters Monday at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.

The Gin Kings import scored on a tip-in to tie the game with under a minute left, before making two pressure-packed free throws with 11 seconds in the game to help Ginebra complete a quarterfinals upset over the second-seed Elasto Painters.

WE ARE ON A HUNGER STRIKE!! - Members of the Digitel Employees Union (DEU) is currently  staging a protest against it's new parent company, Philippine Long Distance Co. (PLDT) regarding it's voluntary retirement program which DEU said is just a mere ploy so that the PLDT Management could avoid negotiating with them as an organized group.

“PLDT should absorb Digitel employees and start CBA (collective bargaining agreement) negotiations,” DEU told Inquirer.net

PLDT earlier cited “redundancy” as its main reason for the removal of Digitel workers, who were offered generous retirement programs well above what the government requires.

Filipino fighter Nonito Donaire dropped a unanimous decision to undefeated Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila) in New York City.

The smaller Rigondeaux, who spent most of the middle rounds dancing around Donaire, won in 114-113, 115-112, and 116-111.

Donaire lost to the two-time Olympic champion despite scoring a knockdown in the 10th round, the most action-packed chapter of the fight that drew boos from the crowd in attendance.

“It was close. I don’t think he won the fight,” said Donaire, who nonetheless gave Rigondeaux credit.

“He did well. That was my mistake for not changing up.”

The loss continued a streak of tough losses for top Filipino fighters. Manny Pacquiao suffered back-to-back defeats to Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, while Brian Viloria lost his title to Juan Francisco Estrada last week.

Donaire lost his WBA world junior featherweight title and saw his 12-year, 30-fight winning streak snapped.
