Battle of Streaks: BGK vs TNT in Batangas

2010-06-04T08:29:00.004+08:00

Good morning! I'm back. After not eating dinner Sunday night, I am here again. Afterall, I was never a quitter. Especially when it comes to my passion for Ginebra. Tested.

So, tomorrow is the battle of streaks, if i may say. Why? For Tropang Texters, since they are on a 10-game winning streak this conference and for Gin Kings, well, the magic hasn't tarnished.. yes, they have been winning straight in their last 8 or 9 out-of-town games (somebody correct me please!!!)? Yes? Yes. So, as I was saying, this is going to be the battle of winning streaks. For Talk N Text, they will face the challenge of playing Gin Kings, the most loved team in the league. Imagine hearing "WALK OUT! WALK OUT! WALK OUT!" again.. Oh! And the famous "Gi-neb-ra! Gi-neb-ra! Gi-neb-ra!" chant.. Oh! This is going to be one helluva game, no one would dare miss.

Eric Menk was said to sit out for 2 or more games due to a strained muscle. And Ronald Tubid will be out tomorrow to serve his one-game suspension because of the Flagrant Foul Penalty 2 called against him last game when he allegedly extended an elbow to Jireh Ibañes of Rain or Shine Elasto Painters.

Mildon Ambres, Ginebra's 2nd import this season (who succeeded NBA veteran Awvee Storey) will now be replaced by Denham Brown (please open another tab and google it!). An insider said that he will arrive today. So, the crowd can't be sure yet if we'll see some action tomorrow.

In lieu with this, we will expect to see more playing time for our local heroes Mark Caguioa, Jayjay Helterbrand, and even new kabarangay Willie Miller.

Okay, I think this is getting boring now. I myself is not a fan of long articles. Please follow me for more information re: Ginebra and of course for your daily dose of random rants from me.. Hehe! http://twitter.com/thaniathania5 thanks much!!!

Ginebra Lives Another Day, Displays Never-Say-Die Spirit

2010-05-23T06:07:00.004+08:00

Barangay Cebu rejoices as Ginebra displays their Never-Say-Die attitude when they trip Alaska Aces in their out-of-town game last night, May 22, 2010.

Eric Menk showed some muscles as he owned the night with conference-high 25 points (and was later declared as the Best Player of the Game).

Mark "The Spark" Caguioa, Jayjay "The Fast" Helterbrand, Ronald "The Fearless" Tubid and Willie "Thriller" Miller also displayed remarkable performance when they all combined efforts to succumbed Cone's Aces to their 6th loss.

"Our players played their hearts out and that's just the way the Ginebra team should play come what may." Ginebra mentor Jong Uichico said.

Diamon Simpson on the other hand led the Aces with 24 points.

Cyrus Baguio, a former GinKing, finished with 17 points, and Tony Dela Cruz and Joe DeVance had 11 each.

This is another Ginebra classic so to speak, a classic come-from-behind victory..

Scores:

Ginebra 105 – Menk 25, Caguioa 20, Miller 12, Helterbrand 12, Ambres 10, Tubid 9, Hatfield 8, Villanueva 4, De Ocampo 3, Wilson 2, Cruz 0.

Alaska 93 – Simpson 24, Baguio 17, Dela Cruz 11, DeVance 11, Tenorio 9, Thoss 7, Fonacier 6, Borboran 4, Eman 2, Hugnatan 2, Dela Pena 0.

Quarter scores: 25-20; 46-50; 69-75; 105-93.

Sta. Lucia Realtors Stunned Ginebra Kings, 86-72

2010-03-27T21:35:00.005+08:00

It was our Kings' 2nd game for this conference and still, I was not able to watch it. I have not seen the 2 games even on TV -- super busy. I feel sorry too that I was not able to have this blog updated for the longest time. 1st game, our team won versus Talk N Text Tropang Texters 97-90. Awvee Storey made a shocking 33 points and Mark "The Spark" Caguioa exploded with 19 points. Caguioa was declared the Best Player of the Game. However, in it's 2nd game this conference, Ginebra was stunned by Sta. Lucia Realtors as the latter owned all 4 quarters of the game 25-20, 44-39, 61-54, 86-72. SLR leaders were Johnson 22, Reyes 14 and Williams 13. And on the Kings' side, Storey contributed 13 points, his score way too low compared to his performance in their first game, Jayjay Helterbrand added 12, Baguio 9 and Caguioa 8. Last conference, Urbiztondo of SLR was ill-marked by some kabarangays who witnessed him talk-smacking Caguioa in one of their games. Caguioa at that time, alongside Helterbrand was not playing due to his knee injury. Die-hard fans who were furious at that incident said "Tingnan natin yabang mo pag naglaro si Caguioa!" (Let's see what you can do once Caguioa is back.) Now in their first encounter, Urbiztondo added 9 points for his team evidently outscoring Mark's 8 points. But, is this really much of an issue? Do we even have to talk about this? If that one game shows Urbiztondo is better than Caguioa in all aspects, then we are in real sh*tty talk here. A single game won't make you a superstar. A single game won't make you THE FURIOUS overnight. And you can never earn respect if you are like that. Yeah, like that. So, I guess, clearly, we shouldn't really be explaining things, or justifying things, to evidently say Mark Caguioa is waaaaaaaaaay too good to be compared to some, no-names. Yeah, no-names. I will be seeing you PBA sometime April, once Rudy Hatfield is back. I am also looking forward to seeing my super duper ultra mega to the max love team, Ginebra. :)

Happy Monthsary BGK J. A. M. S. H. I. P. S. Family! Walang 31 ngayong month kaya, let's celebrate our 19th monthsary today. Let us thank God for all the blessings we have received from Him. To mention a few, for giving us this 'family' without whom, my Ginebra life would not be as happy and ofcourse, for allowing us to meet people, share experiences, common things we have, being able to really call ourselves, brothers and sisters. As a way of giving thanks for all the answered prayers, we offer a sharing hand to the less-fortunate ones. This afternoon, we will have a small pasta party for the kids of House of Refuge in Katipunan. I know this is going to be really fun and exciting, i hope to end this day with a happy heart.

Jamships, see you later!

That is the best news I heard today. I hope that's true. We would badly need this big guy's services next conference.. If you agree with me, raise your hand! Aye, thanks! :) and, of course, our reinforcement Awvee Storey is arriving this Sunday, what good news! That means, the team will practice on Monday and will do their assignments seriously. Seriously.

Alaska Trips Menk-Less Ginebra

2010-02-14T01:01:00.000+08:00

How hard is it for Ginebra to play without Eric "Major Pain" Menk? Especially when they are dealing with Alaska, whose players are way too big than the Kings. Eric was sidelined last night in the Semifinals Game 2 when he re-injured himself with a pulled groin and veteran guard Celino Cruz, also in the injured list when he twisted his ankle. Both players, were seen in casual wear last night. The answer, very hard. It was difficult to watch, really. They lost, 90-82 and the series is now at 0-2.

Although, i must commend the other players who stepped up last night and tried really hard to help the team win. Kevyn White, yeah, the guy wearing jersey number 5, Ginebra's rookie, contributed 7pts, that includes a 3-pointer. Then after a number of attempts, Jayjay Helterbrand finally made it, fired a 3-pointer. Other players who almost sparked were, Mark Caguioa, Ronald Tubid, Willie Wilson, Cyrus Baguio, Billy Mamaril, and Sunday Salvacion. Too bad the team, despite all efforts didn't make it, leaving the crowd shocked and glued to their seats. What more can we say but, "bawi na lang next game" (let's get even next game) and, "never say die!" Hopefully, tomorrow, Ginebra is able to finally get that supernatural favor from Him. Til next entry, fellas!

Keep The Faith! Nagsisimula Pa Lang Ang Laban!

2010-02-12T00:34:00.000+08:00

I have been closely monitoring blogs, article news, writeups in the past few days, especially after the historical Quarterfinals Series where Ginebra dethroned Talk N Text last February 7, 2009.

Sabi ng mayabang kong katext (kilala mo na kung sino ka), "O, arangkada ng Ginebra walang nakaawat o! 6th man ang crowd e, sira ang laro ng Walk N Text, magtambol na lang sila!" Sabi pa ng isa, "O, di pa 100% ang Fast and the Furious nyan ha!" And there would be endless stories to share, PAG NANANALO ANG GINEBRA. True! At pag talo? Walang naguusap sa facebook, busy ang status ng mga online sa ym, walang nagti-tweet, at aminin nyo, walang naghahapunan. Even on papers! Walang bumibili ng dyaryo, walang masulat, hmmn, tanong ko yan kahapon e. Dahil ba, yung mga writers, kabarangay din? Ü

And last Wednesday, after 5 grueling games, our beloved Barangay Ginebra Kings has been defeated by the Alaska Aces. Ouch! It's really painful not to see them win but it's much painful to see them fight eventhough you see them battered by their own weak bodies. Hindi na Alaska ang kalaban nila kundi sarili nila. Kita yung pagod sa kanila, esp kay Eric who got himself re-injured, pulled groin, then Celino, JC, Willie, Cyrus, Ronald, Enrico, lahat sila. But you know, this is when WE LOVE OUR TEAM THE MOST. Pag nadedehado. Because we know, this is when we are stronger, this is when we roar louder, this is when we stand up, to fight, to continue the battle. Nagsisimula pa lang ang laban. And knowing Ginebra, babawi kami, lalaban kami.

And before I end this entry, my eyes now swelling with mist, or, is it tears? Uhm. Well, i just can't help smiling every time i would remember Mark's performance last game. 23pts and he's still not 100% okay. And Kevyn White who fired two three-points! I just go speechless.

So, kabarangay, pagkatapos mong basahin to, offer a short prayer, as always, lagi nating ginagawa to, pagpray natin ang team.

Go ginebra! Fight, ginebra, fight! We never say die!

Hello Semis!

2010-02-07T23:40:00.003+08:00

It has always been hard when you have an unhealthy lineup. Most especially when your team is Caguioa-less and Helterbrand-less and hefty Junthy Valenzuela is sidelined by an injury. Good thing it's not always just about having healthy and fit players, but sometimes, you know, having an ALLY is really what everthing is all about. If you keep on believing in Him, if you never lose your faith, if you never say die.. If, everything seems to be hopeless but you just keep your faith, you keep your fingers crossed, you keep cheering and fighting for what you believe in, then, there's a prize. And that is what we, the fans of the most popular team in town is holding on to. We started strong, first quarter of the deciding Quarterfinals Game 5 match versus Talk N Text Tropang Texters, the players never lose their focus on their gameplan, they keep their presence of mind. Each rebound means everything. Every basket attempt is like one precious ball of prophecy. Until the last 2 minutes of the game, the GinKings keep their composure, they played with their hearts, they played it big. And that is why from 0-1, 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, we now move forward to Semifinals of the 2010 KFC-PBA Philippine Cup. Good job JC Intal, Erik Menk, Sunday Salvacion, Ronald Tubid, Enrico Villanueva, Willie Wilson, Kevyn White, Celino Cruz, Billy Mamaril, Rich Alvarez, Doug Kramer, Cyrus Baguio! We are truly proud of you!

Hello Semis! The GinKings, healthy or not, will face the challenges with a big heart.

Ginebra Faces Talk N Text Tonight

Tnt Forfeits Game4, Ginebra Ties Series

2010-02-05T22:08:00.000+08:00

A flagrant foul penalty 2 called against Tropang Texter Ranidel de Ocampo sparked their team's anger and led them to walk out of the game at exactly 1minute remaining in the 1st quarter of Game 4, Best-of-Five Quarterfinals Series. The dramatic walk-out scene forfeited the game, and tied the series to 2-2. A deciding game 5 will be held on Sunday 7:00pm, still at the Araneta Coliseum.

The controversial flagrant penalty 2 called against de Ocampo was a fitting call when he extended his arm to a driving Ronald Tubid of the Barangay Ginebra Kings. After the announcement, Talk N Text Head Coach Chot Reyes stood up and encouraged his men to walk out of the playing court thus making the crowd roar to mixed chants of happiness and overflowing joy.

The score, Bgk 27 - Tnt 20.

Ginebra is still ALIVE! And we never say die!

2010-02-04T17:01:00.000+08:00

Eric Menk showed vintage performance to seal the game as they succumbed Talk N Text to a 5pts deficit in last night's Quaterfinals Series best of 5 game. He led the Barangay Ginebra Kings with 20pts while JC "THE ROCKET" Intal contributed 25 big pts, 10rbs, 3asts and a stl. Also, the Fast and the Furious backcourt tandem of Jayjay Helterbrand and Mark Caguioa was witnessed by thousands of the delighted fans adding 9pts apiece. Final score 102-97. Game4 is tomorrow at the Araneta Coliseum.

Ginebra Stuns Alaska, 93-90

2010-01-12T18:33:00.003+08:00

Another come-from-behind game, Ginebra stuns Alaska as the 2nd round of the KFC-PBA Philippine Cup Elimination Round continues.

[As early as December, we already asked our co-Jamships living in Batangas to go and buy tickets for us so that we won't have any problems come January 9. Jamii and Rhoane then exhausted everything, thanks to you my dear bebes..

Gwen, a resident of Laguna and me, a Makati resident travelled our way to Batangas to witness the Ginebra-Alaska game. We were very excited to see the team, as if we're not seeing them during practice or during their Araneta and Cuneta games. Haha! Feeling ecstatic, we were really all geared up, ready to cheer for the team. We saw the team the first time we entered the stadium (or is-tad-yum to the Batangueños) and screeeeeeaamed! And as usual, that familiar feeling of belongingness is there.]

I'm really not in the mood to write. I just wanted another blog entry. ^__^

2010-01-07T19:21:00.004+08:00

It was also at the 4th quarter when Mark Caguioa, Ginebra's topgunner (reactivated from the injure list) made the crowd jump from their seats as he scored 8points, 4 of which were assists from JC Intal and Erik Menk.

Ronald Tubid added 18 points, 12 from Enrico Villanueva and 10 from Erik Menk.

Talk N Text, the league's top scoring team, to the fans surprise, was held idle as they continue to miss baskets even at the last 2 minutes point of the game.

Sunday Salvacion and Kevyn White's three points were also the game's highlights.

Talk N Text's Jimmy Alapag contributed 17, Jason Castro with 15 and Harvey Carey with 12.

A Present To The Fans: Ginebra Wins Christmas Day Game

2009-12-27T22:44:00.003+08:00

Undermanned Ginebra trips Coca Cola Tigers last December 25, 2009 as the KFC Philippine Cup continues. The game was held at the jam-packed Cuneta Astrodome.

Ronald Tubid, Cyrus Baguio and JC Intal led the team to winning the game as they forced a tie with Purefoods at 4th place with 9-6 win-loss record (Alaska 11-2, San Miguel 12-3, Talk N Text 10-5).

JC Intal finished with a career-best 20 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals and a shot block. Ronald Tubid added 18 points and William Wilson 16 points and 12 rebounds while Cyrus Baguio gave 14 points. To the cheering fans' delight, JC Intal made 2 slam dunks, one two-handed, and the other a one-hand power dunk.

Ginebra Coach Jong Uichico, in his interviews, is very happy to see that his wingmen delivers especially during this time that his topgunners Mark Caguioa, Jayjay Helterbrand and Junthy Valenzuela are not playing. They are very optimistic to improving their record, in the coming games by January.

Although not feeling well, Erik Menk and Kevyn White still played and showed good defense.

WAG MAG RELAX PAG GINEBRA ANG KALABAN!

2009-12-13T21:02:00.002+08:00

Last night's game is one that reminds me of the 90s! Very classic Ginebra game indeed! That is what I would normally utter to brag about my favorite team, WAG MAG RELAX PAG GINEBRA ANG KALABAN! And the never-say-die-spirit lives on.

Enrico Villanueva has not impressed me much ever since he joined Ginebra, for reasons I don't wish to elaborate. Oh well, last night, he gets like 10,000 pogi points when he made a follow-up shot with not more than 10 seconds remaining. 2 BEAUTIFUL POINTS to earn the lead at 99-97 over the shocked faces of Rain or Shine Elasto Painters who have conquered almost all 3 first quarters of the game. Then veteran Johnny Abbarientos made a steal and converted two bonus points in the free throw line to snatch the GinKings’ 101-97 come-from-behind victory against Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, Saturday night at the Tacloban Convention Center.

The Kings stayed calm despite Elasto Painters almost dominating the game. And displayed a never-say-die attitude until the last seconds of the game. They are now tied for 3rd place with Talk N Text and Purefoods with identical 8-4 win-loss cards.

Eric Menk was named Best Player of the Game. He contributed 21 points. Ronald Tubid and Sunday Salvacion scored 17 points apiece, Cyrus Baguio added 9 points and Rookie Kevyn White made his presence felt as he scored 8 points.

Gabe Norwood ended with 22 points.

SCORES:

Barangay Ginebra 101- Menk 21, Tubid 17, Salvacion 17, Baguio 9, Abbarientos 8, White 8, Villanueva 7, Wilson 6, Mamaril 4, Alvarez 4, Intal 0.

Rain or Shine 97 – Norwood 22, Arana 17, Cruz 15, Chan 11, Tang 10, Laure 8, Reyes 6, Dulay 3, Hrabak 3, Ibanes 2, Telan 0.

Quarterscores: 21-21;48-48; 73-79; 101-97.

Purefoods Trips Ginebra, KEVYN WHITE, Almost A Hero

2009-12-07T13:10:00.002+08:00

Roger Yap led the Purefoods TJ Giants to trip Ginebra off its winning streak as the 2nd Round of 2010 KFC Philippine Cup Elimination Series continues, 88-81. It was an off night for the Kings if I may say, as Ronald Tubid, hero of their last two games was not seen action, finishing 8 points only.

PJ Simon contributed 14 points to help the TJ Giants snatch the win from the injury-infested Barangay Ginebra Kings.

Kings Rookie KEVYN WHITE, who scored 10 points in the 3rd quarter made his presence felt as he gave the entire barangay crowd a lift, in spirit, in morale and made every Giant's confidence skip down to zero. During his amazing moments, his closest in the team, Jayjay Helterbrand and Erik Menk were seen with big smiles and skipping and jumping in happiness, too. Mark Caguioa said that they pushed to give more minutes to their promising rookie as they know what he can do in the hardcourt.

Junthy Valenzuela is said to play next week and Celino Cruz in 3 weeks.

The scores:

PUREFOODS 89 - Yap R. 21, Simon 14, Yap J. 13, Maierhofer 9, Pingris 9, Reavis 8, Allado 8, Artadi 7, Timberlake 0, Salvador 0, adducul 0.

GINEBRA 81 - Baguio 19, White 14, Mamaril 10, Tubid 8, Menk 8, Abbarientos 7, Intal 6, Wilson 3, Salvacion 3, Alvarez 2, Villanueva 1.

QUARTERSCORES: 24-19, 43-34, 65-57, 89-81.

Ginebra Time Tomorrow!

2009-12-03T21:53:00.005+08:00

Hello fellas! :) Ginebra time tomorrow! :) I know we are all excited to see the team again. But also, a part of us will always be worried about the players not able to play tomorrow. First is Willie Wilson, team's power forward as he was called against for a flagrant foul penalty 2 on their game vs Coke last November 27. Second is Mr. Fearless himself Ronald Tubid, who in their last game contributed 33 big points -- he mentioned he has a dislocated finger then, and although I have not talked to him about this, I am thinking that that could be the reason for him to rest for one game. And then thirdly, Celino Cruz who hurt himself in the wrist when he dived to save a ball on their game vs Talk N Text Tropang Texters. I am really worried about the team, Mark Caguioa is out, Jayjay Helterbrand is not playing, and veteran Junthy Valenzuela is out for the entire conference. Let us continuously pray for the team. People expected to show exceptional ball skills are Cyrus Baguio, JC Intal, Billy Mamaril, Rich Alvarez and rookie Kevyn White who will be given more minutes with the absence of Celino Cruz.

I got the information about this charity concert about a week ago, a member of this family sent a group message, saying she was able to catch the advertisement via Brgy LS FM. I then had to confirm it with Tatay (Ginebra staff) and he gladly advised me of the much-needed details.

It was said that there'll be local bands playing, that there'll be a raffle for everyone, yadida-dida.. but the most delicious news there is, is that the Barangay Ginebra Kings will also be there for an autograph-signing of some sort! Weee! :)

So much for the pasa-calle. We went there, Aura, Patrice, Aryen and myself. Antipolo is not very far away from Manila. Just 45-60 mins travel time, I think. But it was all worth it. Ginebra will be there, too!!!

Thanks to Kuya Junjun, he accompanied us all the way to the backstage (whoa! Instant VIP access) where we saw our very own GinKings -- Ronald Tubid, Sunday Salvacion, Cyrus Baguio, Junjun Cabatu, Billy Mamaril, Rich Alvarez, JC Intal, Junthy Valenzuela and Mr. Furious himself, Mark Caguioa.

Too bad, we can't upload the pictures yet, for some reasons. But, we will, soon. As soon as possible, promise.

We actually didn't wait for them to go upstage, since we noticed that it is almost drizzling, we didn't bring umbrellas, we decided to go home as early as 6:30 PM.

It was all fun fun fun! :)

GINKINGS WINS OVER STRUGGLING TIGERS

2009-11-29T00:59:00.002+08:00

Ginebra day again. Not an ordinary day. Today, Jamships put extra effort and extra time praying for another victory of our dear favorite team, Barangay Ginebra Kings. Today, we send group messages reminding each and everyone to do his/her part to seek help from Him.

Philippine Basketball Association brings hardcourt action in Antipolo City at their famous gym, the Ynares Center. Three games, that is.. Smart Gilas vs San Miguel Beer, Talk N Text vs Burgerking, and Barangay Ginebra going up against Coca Cola.

113 - 104. Another victory for the crowd favorites! Ronald Tubid led the scoring with a career-high 33 pts. (including eight 3pointers) as the Barangay Ginebra Kings tied up with Talk N Text for third place, both 6-3 win-loss record. Cyrus Baguio is equally hot as he contributed 22 points, veteran Johnny "Flying A" Abarrientos 11, while Jc Intal nailed 10 pts. Rich Alvarez resurrects his MVP form as he finished with 10 pts, too. Ginebra rookie Kevyn White's presence was felt, too, as he contributed 8 pts (flawless freethrow shooting).

Coca Cola Tigers are now at their darkest hours as they succumbed to 1-8 standing. Bo Perasol takes over coaching responsibilities as Kenneth Duremdes is eyeing a government position. Mark Macapagal and Norman Gonzales finished with 27 and 17 pts respectively while Dennis Espino added 16 pts.

Mr. Fearless Ronald Tubid was eventually named the Best Player of the Game. "Puso ang nagdadala samin." he said. "Kahit kulang, laban lang. Dala-dala namin ang Never Say Die spirit." People would later discover that he is also suffering from an injury -- dislocated finger.

Brgy. Ginebra 113 - Tubid 33, Baguio 22, Abarrientos 11, Intal 10, Alvarez 10, White 8, Menk 7, Wilson 6, Mamaril 4, Villanueva 2, Salvacion 0.

Coca-Cola 104 - Macapagal 27, Gonzales N. 17, Espino 16, Cabagnot 15, Bono 10, Ross 7, Rizada 5, Rodriguez 4, Calimag 2, Gonzales W 1, Allera o, Singson 0.

Quarterscores: 32-20; 59-50; 81-74; 113-104

Alapag VS Alapag-White Tomorrow

2009-11-24T21:43:00.001+08:00

The Barangay Ginebra Kings will face defending Champions Talk N Text tomorrow at 7:00 pm, at the Araneta Coliseum as the Elimination Round of the 2009 KFC-PBA Philippine Cup continues.

Crowd-favorite Ginebra will continue to miss the services of top-gunner Mark Caguioa and Sunday Salvacion who are still sidelined by their injuries (knee and calf respectively). However, cagers to watch out for are Jayjay Helterbrand, Cyrus Baguio, Ronald Tubid, JC Intal and big men Erik Menk, Willie Wilson and Billy Mamaril.

Both teams are halted by Alaska (TNT) and Sta. Lucia (BGK) so we could be expecting some hard-hitting and breath-taking action. Ginebra rookie Kevyn White is also expected to be showing some exciting perimeter shots as he has been of good offensive standing in their games vs Smart Gilas (that includes a buzzerbeater), Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters (7pts) and Sta. Lucia Realtors (4pts). He will also be playing against his Uncle Jimmy Alapag's team, Talk N Text, this sure is one exciting game we wouldn't wanna miss.

Blow your candles and let's have fun!

Kwento Muna

2009-11-22T21:16:00.003+08:00

Hello all! Thania here again. I have not posted in a while, yeah, it made me feel bad that Ginebra didn't make it on their last game -- vs SLR. Katamad magsulat. But life must go on. And that's just one game, not the end of the world.

Okay, kwento muna. Aura and my twin AM watched the game, we were on Lowerbox area, row B, seats 5, 6, and 7. Lapit nuh? Yeah, so I could scream my heart out to cheer for my Ginebra -- our Ginebra. We came early, met a couple of friends outside the coliseum before the start of the game.

Blank. Bored. Antagaaall! Tapos ayan na.. pumasok na ang mahal kong team!!! Ahhhh!!! Kung narinig ni Mama yan, sasabihin nya, para akong kinakatay na baboy sa sigaw ko.. haha! Oh well, i can't help it. Kita ko kagad si Jayjay e. Tapos bilis ng mata ko, nahanap ko kagad ang bago kong mahal este idol -- Kevyn White, team's newest addition, ang rookie nila. Weee!!! Tili na naman. *lubdublubdublubdub* naririnig ko na ata ang tibok ng puso ko sa kaba, sa saya, sa excitement, halo-halo na to!

Ayoko na rin i-elaborate at talagang it pains me to remember how Ginebra's winning streak was silenced by the Sta. Lucia Realtors -- kahit na nga ba andun ang love ko, at love ng Jamships na si Chris Pacana e. Basta masakit. :(

Next game, Nov25 vs Talk N Text Tropang Texters, babawi ang team! Go Ginebra pa rin! Ginebra lang hanggang sa huli!

Unstoppable Ginebra Outshines Rain or Shine

2009-11-09T15:11:00.008+08:00

Cyrus Baguio of the Barangay Ginebra Kings is KFC/Accel-PBA Press Corps' Player of the Week for the period Nov. 2 to 8. Congratulations Skyrus! :) Job well done!

Sa 2 magkasunod na games (vs Barako Bull at Rain or Shine), ipinakita ni Skyrus kung paano naaasahan ang isang tulad nya sa oras ng kagipitan. Sa tulong ng iba pang players ng mahal nating koponan gaya nila Ronald Tubid, William Wilson, Eric Menk, Sunday Salvacion, JC Intal, Celino Cruz, Billy Mamaril, pinatunayan ng Ginebra na hindi porket wala ang Fast and the Furious (Mark Caguioa at Jayjay Helterbrand dahil sa mga tinamong injury) ay basta na lang sila panghihinaan ng loob at susuko. Sapagkat ipinakita ng koponan kung gano sila dapat pangilagan sa pagpapatuloy ng PBA Phillipine Cup.

Sa laro kagabi, nagpakitang-gilas muli si Cyrus at niyakap ang sistema ni Coach Jong Uichico. Itinanghal din syang Best Player of the Game.

Samantala, nagpakitang-gilas ang mga bagong kabarangay na sina Celino Cruz, Rich Alvarez at Kevin White na sumikwat ng 10, 2 at 7 puntos ayon sa pagkakasunod-sunod.

Inaasahang kakikitaan pa ng mas mabangis na opensa at depensa ang Barangay Ginebra Kings sa pagpapatuloy ng liga sa pagbabalik ni Jayjay Helterbrand next game, vs Burger King sa isang out-of-town game.

Scores:

Ginebra 86 - Baguio 17, Intal 11, Cruz 10, Tubid 9, Salvacion 9, Menk 8, White 7, Mamaril 7, Wilson 4, Alvarez 2, Villanueva 2, Kramer 0.

Rain or Shine 77 - Cruz 14, Reyes 14, Chan 8, Hrabak 8, Arellano 7, Norwood 7, Telan 6, Mercado 4, Tang 4, Arana 4, Laure 1, Ibanes 0.

Quarterscores: 26-17, 44-35, 66-53, 86-77

GINEBRA BLASTS BARAKO BULLS

2009-11-07T12:10:00.002+08:00

Caguioa-less and Helterbrand-less Ginebra grabbed solo second place as they beat the Barako Bulls, 94-86 last night at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.

Cyrus Baguio and Ronald Tubid were the team's heroes with 22 and 17 points each. They are now at 3-1 w-l standing.

Flying A Johnny Abarrientos was seen hitting the basketball court with 4 rebounds and 6 assists before it was cut shortly by a finger injury (cut that needs to be stitched) and was rushed to the hospital.

"Pakiramdam ko putol ang daliri ko. Parang sumabit sa baller ni Paolo (Hubalde). Dapat talaga ipagbawal ang kung ano-anong sinusuot ng mga players outside of the playing uniform," said Abarrientos.

Scores:

Ginebra 94 - Baguio 22, Tubid 17, Villanueva 14, Menk 12, Cruz 10, Salvacion 7, Wilson 6, Intal 2, Alvarez 2, Mamaril 2, White 0, Abarrientos 0.

Barako Bull 86 - Najorda 15, Duncil 12, Dimaunahan 12, Crisano 12, Aljamal 10, Lao 10, Menor 4, Hubalde 4, Alonzo 3, Membrere 2, Belano 2, Fernandez 0.

Undas, Ginebra at Jamships

2009-11-03T16:14:00.004+08:00

Hello jamships! Hi mga kabarangay! Musta ang bakasyon? I'm sure, gaya ko, pagod rin kayo sa nagdaang okasyon -- Undas. Sa paglipas ng Undas, sigurado ako, naipanalangin natin ang mga minamahal nating namayapa na, at gaya ng nabanggit ko sa gm, hilingin natin na gabayan nila tayo sa ating buhay.

Masarap pag bakasyon, lalo na sa mga estudyante, bakit nga ba hindi, e pahinga sa sandamukal na assignments, projects, kung anu-anong practice, at mga bulletin board na kelangang tapusin. Tama diba? Para naman sa mga nagtatrabaho nang gaya ko, pahinga sa nakaka-stress na trabaho, boss, kaopisina at iba pang hassle sa labas ng bahay at opisina.

Pag ganitong bakasyon, masarap mag-gm, daming nagrereply e. Haha! Pag ganitong bakasyon, me namimiss tayo. Dahil ang Philippine Basketball Association ay nagbabakasyon rin -- ibig sabihin, walang GINEBRAAA!!! Waaahh! Kayamot nuh? Iniisip natin, kelan kaya resume ng praktis, argh tagal naman ng next game, pwede bang fast-forward natin ang mga araw?! Hahaha! Mga senyales yan ng boredom. Ay hindi. Pagka-adik sa Ginebra, hahaha :)

Pero konting tiis na lang, wag tayong mainip, November 6 (happy birthday NOVY! Happy birthday sa bebe Digs ko) maghaharap ang mahal nating koponan, ang Barangay Ginebra Kings at Barako Bulls. Gaganapin ito sa Cuneta Astrodome, ang detalye, sa sked section. :D

KUMBINYENTE hahaha!!!

Ginebra Brings Agony To PBA's Teams To Beat

2009-10-19T11:54:00.007+08:00

The Menk-less (out of the game for a minor toe injury) Barangay Ginebra Kings, led by PBA's Fast and the Furious tandem once again brought agonizing pain and frustration to one of the toughest teams to beat - Purefoods. Drawing more than 12 thousand afficionados at the Big Dome, the most popular team Barangay Ginebra Kings chipped 2-0 lead as they rally in PBA KFC Philippine Cup elimination round, 95-87.

With Ronald Tubid, Best Player of the Game, started the game cold but bounced back with a vengeance as he fearlessly claimed 9 points in the 2nd half of the heart-pounding game. Mr. Fast Jayjay Helterbrand paced with 19 points and the ever-reliable William Wilson contributed 16 points.

On their first game this conference last Wednesday, October 14, Ginebra stunned San Miguel Beer, 98-86. Mark "The Spark" Caguoia, displayed great shooting prowess as he scored 17 points and was eventually declared the night's Best Player of the Game.

I personally can’t think of the most fulfilling decision I have made as a ballers’ buff rather than joining JAMSHIPS. I know that everyone of us also feels the same. All I want is to see my jam-packed family because it will be an explosion of stories, gags and pleasure for sure. Again, only at JAMSHIPS’.
Every beat of our heart shouts every interest that we have and our interest to GINEBRA seems roaring the loudest— the thrill and satisfaction are HEARTFELT. If someone couldn’t feel it, its just two things, either you are not a Ginebra fan or you don’t have a heart at all, or worse, neither of those. KUDOS JAMSHIPS! Long way to go… more stories to unfold, more titles to celebrate and more memories to cherish. We are all champions in and OUT of the playing court.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JAMSHIPS! I LOVE YOU ALL!

BGKJAMSHIPS

It's not a fans club, it's a friendship thing;
and our common denominator
is our love for the GinKings.

What is Jamships?

BGK Jamships. Ano nga ba at para san ang grupong to? Bakit me Jamships? Anong eksena nito?
Jamships. Nagsimula to sa isang pagkakaibigang nabuo sa World Wide Web. Tama. Internet. Imposible mang isipin, pero totoong pagkakaibigan ang namagitan sa 8 babaeng nagkakila-kilala sa POL, ranging from early teenagers, to mid-twenties. Naging magkakaibigan kami dahil sa iisang pagkakapareho -- ang pagkahilig sa basketbol at pagiging tagahanga ng itinuturing na pinakapopular na PBA team, ang Barangay Ginebra Kings. Masayang pagkakaibigan na hindi ininda ang pagiging magkakaiba ng ugali, ng pananaw sa buhay, hindi ininda ang layo ng distansya o ng katotohanang hindi pa kami nagkikita-kita. Napaka-ideal. Pero aaminin kong hindi kami perpekto. Sino bang hindi nagkakamali? Pero tanggap namin ang mga flaws ng bawat isa. Naging matatag ang pagkakaibigan sa maikling panahon. Di lumaon, nagkaron kami ng maraming kaibigan at nagsimulang tumanggap ng miyembro -- naisip naming buksan ang pamilyang ito sa kagustuhang magkaroon ng mas maraming kaibigan at kachikahan tungkol sa paborito naming koponan. Mula kay AM, kay Gracey, hanggang sa ngayon ay halos hirap na rin akong mag GM o group message. Anu bang trip namin? Ang Jamships, gaya ng lagi kong sinasabi, we're not just an ordinary BGK fans club or fan listing. This is friendship that started from being a Ginebra fan. Hindi man kami magkakapareho sa maraming bagay, may iilang tatatak sa isip mo sa oras na makilala mo kami. Jamships is all about friendship and undying, unconditional love for the Barangay Ginebra Kings.

JAMSHIPS is family.
-thania

para sakin ang jamships ay isang pamilya na nabuo dahil sa pinakamamahal naming team at yun ang ginebra. ang pamilya ito ay may faith kay god manalo, matalo ang ginebra nagsasama sama nag mga meyembro ng pamilya ng jamships walang iwanan sa kalokohan,kasiyahan,kalungkuta at kaadikan lab lab jamships

ang jamships for me? its a ship full of jamming passengers that no one could ever make it sink. its a group rooted in bgk, but blossom as a family who`l be there for our team and for each other till eternity

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - The teams begin league play with a revenge match, after facing each other in the Fiesta Conference Finals just three months ago. In that series, the Gin Kings led 3-2 going into the sixth game, but dropped the next two games to give the Beermen the Fiesta Conference Championship.

These two teams also met in the Philippine Cup Playoffs last year, with the Beermen winning the Quarterfinal series 2-1.

The Ginebra team returns largely intact, with ten of last year's roster members remaining. They drafted Kevin White (5-11, 185 lbs) 19th overall in the second round of the recent PBA draft, and they acquired three other players via the trade board.

San Miguel has no rookies, but added three new players, including All-Star Arwind Santos, while retaining eleven from last year's squad. San Miguel and defending Philippine Cup Champion Talk 'N Text share the distinction of not having any rookies this year.

The first half was well-contended by both teams, as the teams and the fans came out screaming.

The Beermen took the first quarter 29-21 behind 8 points from Danny Ildefonso and 7 points from Mick Pennisi.

In the second quarter, Ginebra struck back, eventually tying the game at 32-apiece, with 6:09 remaining in the half.

The crowd began chanting "Gin-e-bra!" and the team responded, outscoring the Beermen 28-14 in the second quarter, and went into halftime with a 49-43 lead.

Leading the comeback for the Gin Kings was JayJay Helterbrand with 7 points and 3 boards, but this was clearly a team effort, as seven players scored in the quarter.

With the crowd squarely behind them, Ginebra kept the Beermen at bay throughout the second half, with the brewery boys never posing a serious threat.

Ginebra was led by Eric Menk with 19 points and 9 rebounds, Mark Caguioa, and Jayjay Helterbrand with 17 points apiece and 2 and 7 rebounds, respectively. Ronald Tubid (12 pts, 9 rebs) and Willy Wilson (10 pts, 4 rebs) also scored in double figures.

For the Beermen, Danny Idelfonso posted 19 points and 2 rebounds, while Mike Cortez was his only teammate in double figures with 10 points and 2 rebounds. Arwind Santos and Donan Pena were board wizards, with 12 and 15 rebounds.

Both teams played well and with intensity, but the Gin Kings put the pieces in place better for this tie-up.

Cyrus Baguio, who was the star for the PowerAde-Filipinas National Team at the FIBA-Asia tournament didn't score much, with only four points, but had two rebounds, an assist, a steal, and a block, in 13 minutes of play.

The Beermen face the Alaska Aces this Saturday, in Davao. Next up for the Gin Kings are the Purefoods "Tender Juicy Giants" on Sunday at Araneta Coliseum in Manila.

An encounter with a sweet girl -- Jaylyn Helterbrand

2009-07-25T08:08:00.002+08:00

Finals Game 1 -- Twin and I were eating when we saw Jaylyn, she was walking toward our direction, apparently, there was a vacant table right next to where we were eating at that time. I approached her and you can read on for the conversation:

Me: Hi Jaylyn!

Jaylyn: Hello!

Me: How are you? Feelin' okay now? (nagkasakit kasi sya one time kaya meron syang game na hindi napanuod ng live diba?)

Jaylyn: Yeah..

Me: Good..

Anna Marie: Who are you with?

Jaylyn: Eunice..

Me: Sweetie, we brought something for you..

Anna Marie: It's a gift.. from us..

Jaylyn: Oh really, thanks..

Tapos kinuha nya na yung gift, sweet, coz excited syang buksan yung paper bag. The gift we bought for her was a cute tee from Gola. Tapos, saka nya binasa yung greeting card sa labas ng paper bag.

Thania: We have a group, a family of around 50-60 members, we love Ginebra, we support them and we love your dad very much.

Jaylyn: .. (nakatitig lang sya sa card..)

I can't remember the exact words, pero what I wrote in the card was something like,

"Jaylyn, take care always and God bless sweet lil girls like you.."

Then picture picture na. Tapos, I remembered kissing Jaylyn in her forehead, natuwa kasi talaga ako sa kanya. Then si Anna Marie naman, she hugged her.

Then dumating si Eunice with a girlfriend. We exchange niceties. Then, Jaylyn showed her stuff to her companions. Yung isang guy na pinsan nya ang later on nakita naming me bitbit ng paper bag. :)

Nauna kaming umalis sa table, nagpaalam na kami kay Jaylyn.. at sa mga kasama nya, coz magstart na yung game. Hinabol pa kami ni Jaylyn ng "thank you" nya. :) Sweet na bata, nakakatuwa talaga sya. :)

Jamships, sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam anu ipopost ko e. Just for the sake of updating lang kaya me new entry ang blog natin. We've been through a lot this conference, I know. Grabe. Pero hindi pa rin natin nakuha yung crown. But does that mean hindi tayo nanalo? Sa puso ng bawat tunay na GINEBRA fan, panalo tayo, sa bawat gabing sinundan, inabangan at ipinagdasal natin ang games nila, winner na tayo. Sa hindi natin pag-iwan sa kanila, panalo na tayo nun. Ganun talaga, it will never be called a competition if no winner will be declared. But SMB being the Motolite Fiesta Cup Champs won't mean they are the best team. They did their best and it caused them the crown. Ganun yun. Basta, sa puso natin, GINEBRA lang ang champs. Tama, tama? So, I guess, everybody move on na! Alalahanin, we have a lot of reasons to smile -- Mark Caguioa and Junthy Valenzuela will be back in action ^__^ naku naku, humanda na silang lahat!

Eto pa tatandaan nyo, DUGONG GINEBRA, PUSONG GINEBRA, GINEBRANG-GINEBRA! Sa Jamships, ayoko ng half-hearted. Para walang gulo, walang away.

Game 5 -- DUGONG GINEBRA, PUSO NG GINEBRA!

2009-07-13T23:38:00.001+08:00

I love it! We won Jamships! Once again, pinatunayan na wala sa laki yan! Wala sa bigat ng lineup ng team yan! Nasa dugo yan, nasa puso ng manlalaro, ng team, ng masa! Mas marami ang nagdadasal para sa barangay, at bonggang-bonggang dasal pa!

Special mention lang ako sa tapang, sa galing ni Lanete, Chico. Wuhoo! Chico, my CHICO! Ang bangis! Tatlong 3points ang pinawalan ng magaling na guwardya ng Barangay Ginebra Kings ang syang nagpalobo ng kalamangan sa unang 2 quarters ng laro. Naging matatag ang barangay sa kumpyansa at mataas na morale, i love it! I just love it!

Congrats BARANGAY! Sa wednesday, nakatakdang maglaglagan ang mga lobo sa Araneta, nakatakdang mapuno ng kagalakan ang dibdib nating lahat (wait, me dibdib ba ako?), nakatakdang hirangin ang BGK bilang HARI NG MOTOLITE FIESTA CUP!

God bless y'all!

MR.MVP: get well soon...we need you in GAMES 5-7

2009-07-09T02:05:00.000+08:00

As reported, Jayjay Helterbrand got a sore hamstring that's why he was not able to play on the 4th quarter of GAME 4.

We Wish that OUR MVP, we'll be 100% OK on monday w/c is GAME 5. God bless THE MVP!

Congratulations! Good job! You deserve it!

We can still get the FIESTA CUP CROWN =)

2009-07-09T02:01:00.004+08:00

GAMES 5 & 6 are very crucial. BGK needs to win these games to make sure that the FIESTA CUP CROWN will stay in their hands.

MVP-Jayjay Helterbrand needs to be 100% OK when game 5 starts (on monday). Get well soon.

Congratulations also to RONALD TUBID & BILLY MAMARIL for making it to the ALL DEFENSIVE TEAM =)

And before i forget, PAUL ARTADI was nominated as one of the TOP CONTENDERS in the MOST IMPROVED PLAYER OF THE CONF. category. He might not won the award, but i know God has better plans for him.

KEEP IT UP GUYS! GO BGK! WIN! WIN! WIN!

HELTERBRAND -- Mr. MVP

2009-07-08T15:26:00.002+08:00

Barring any surprises that may arise from the voting among players, media and the Commissioner’s Office, expect the Philippine Basketball Association most valuable player award to go to Barangay Ginebra Kings guard Jayjay Helterbrand. Consistently among the top players in the individual statistical category all season long, backed by team success, "Mr. Fast" is all set to become the second Ginebra MVP after Eric Menk.

In ceremonies to be held today before the start of Game Four of the Fiesta Conference (FC) finals between Ginebra and the San Miguel Beermen, the league will hand out the Leo Awards. The awards are given in recognition of players who have excelled in the different facets of the game in the current season, foremost of which is the MVP award.

The battle for the most prestigious individual award was a very close one with at least seven players having the inside track, namely Coca-Cola’s Asi Taulava, Sta. Lucia’s Kelly Williams, Burger King’s Arwind Santos, Helterbrand, Talk ’N Text’s Mark Cardona, San Miguel’s Dondon Hontiveros and Alaska’s Willie Miller. However, for reasons ranging from their teams not advancing further to lagging in the necessary statistical points (SPs), the MVP race was reduced between Helterbrand and Santos. Santos actually had an edge in SPs over Helterbrand. Unfortunately for him though, with Burger King’s campaign stopped by San Miguel in the semifinals of the FC and Helterbrand’s Ginebra right in the finals’ thick of things, national player Helterbrand’s chances became bigger. He was earlier named the best player of the conference which further boosted his stock for the MVP plum.

In the event that Mr. Fast does move on to bag a first-ever MVP award, I think hardly anyone would raise a howl. Ask anybody who has followed the league all season long, and it will be a consensus that Helterbrand has been a picture of consistency and all-around brilliance amid the many injuries Ginebra has to endure.

Helterbrand certainly has gone a long way from being one of a wave of Fil-Ams that invaded the league in the late ’90s. From riding the bench, he has steadily improved his game. He has formed a fruitful and exciting on-court partnership with Mark Caguioa, known as "The Fast and The Furious," which has done wonders for the Ginebra squad and benefited his career.

But this season has been extra special for the 5-11 Kentucky State-Lexington product in the US. With Caguioa and Menk injured for the most part, he was thrust into the leadership role which he has embraced to much success.

In the previous Philippine Cup, he led the depleted Kings to a quarterfinal finish that saw him pile up impressive numbers of 18.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists and 36% from beyond the arc. In the current conference, Helterbrand is norming 17.21 markers, four boards and 5.08 assists and 41% from three-point territory. But more important than the numbers, he has been a true leader and a big reason why Ginebra is now in a strong position to repeat as champion with his heads-up play on both ends of the court.

So for all he has done this season, Helterbrand is every bit deserving of the MVP. Santos and the other fellas did an outstanding job from their end, but by and large Helterbrand just had it better this year.

Game Four of the finals is today at the Araneta Coliseum at 7 p.m. Ginebra leads the series, 2-1.

I got this from a Google Alert. Can't seem to find the link, sorry.

2-1

2009-07-07T00:50:00.002+08:00

July 5, 2009. SMB's heart was totally outsized by the crowd-favorite Barangay Ginebra Kings' outpouring of talents and passion for winning. A classic Ginebra come-from-behind game sealed off a 2-1 standing in PBA Motolite Fiesta Cup Finals series as the barangay trailed off a 13-pt lead, 116-103.

Willie Wilson, who was only seen in the 3rd quarter showed off SMB's Jay Washington who is the better defensive player among them -- who to watch out for. Jay Wash, who was seen like a blood-thrist gladiator in the 1st half was held off, almost stunned by how Willie Wilson ate him up in the 2nd half.

Erik Menk, grabbed the Best Player of the Game recognition as he stretched off his MVP moves to lead the barangay in 2-1 standing.

1-1

2009-07-03T00:47:00.000+08:00

Series tied at 1-1.

San Miguel was able to stop Ginebra's defense. Danny Ildefonso and Marc Pingris issued suspension and fine for attacking a fan who was apparently exchanging profanity with the SMB cager.

Game 2, July 5, 2008. Who will prevail?

BGK DRAWS THE FIRST BLOOD! CONGRATS!

2009-07-02T00:59:00.003+08:00

Game 1 of the finals was so fun & memorable! (",)

Its now 1-0 in favor of BGK!

The crowd gave their undying love & support for the GINKINGS...that's why the players gave their best to win & prove to their detractors that they're wrong in underestimating the team's HEART & will to win!

Welcome back Capt.Eric Menk! You're still the best!

CONGRATULATIONS BGK!

God bless the team...

Aiming for 2-0 on friday...
GO GINEBRA! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
WIN! WIN! WIN! (",)

What is Jamships

2009-06-09T17:55:00.004+08:00

BGK Jamships. Ano nga ba at para san ang grupong to? Bakit me Jamships? Anong eksena nito?

Jamships. Nagsimula to sa isang pagkakaibigang nabuo sa World Wide Web. Tama. Internet. Imposible mang isipin, pero totoong pagkakaibigan ang namagitan sa 8 babaeng nagkakila-kilala sa POL, ranging from early teenagers, to mid-twenties. Naging magkakaibigan kami dahil sa iisang pagkakapareho -- ang pagkahilig sa basketbol at pagiging tagahanga ng itinuturing na pinakapopular na PBA team, ang Barangay Ginebra Kings. Masayang pagkakaibigan na hindi ininda ang pagiging magkakaiba ng ugali, ng pananaw sa buhay, hindi ininda ang layo ng distansya o ng katotohanang hindi pa kami nagkikita-kita. Napaka-ideal. Pero aaminin kong hindi kami perpekto. Sino bang hindi nagkakamali? Pero tanggap namin ang mga flaws ng bawat isa. Naging matatag ang pagkakaibigan sa maikling panahon. Di lumaon, nagkaron kami ng maraming kaibigan at nagsimulang tumanggap ng miyembro -- naisip naming buksan ang pamilyang ito sa kagustuhang magkaroon ng mas maraming kaibigan at kachikahan tungkol sa paborito naming koponan. Mula kay AM, kay Gracey, hanggang sa ngayon ay halos hirap na rin akong mag GM o group message. Anu bang trip namin? Ang Jamships, gaya ng lagi kong sinasabi, we're not just an ordinary BGK fans club or fan listing. This is friendship that started from being a Ginebra fan. Hindi man kami magkakapareho sa maraming bagay, may iilang tatatak sa isip mo sa oras na makilala mo kami. Jamships is all about friendship and undying, unconditional love for the Barangay Ginebra Kings.

Paumanhin Po Sa Lahat

2009-06-09T13:05:00.005+08:00

Barangay Ginebra spoils Coca Cola

2009-05-21T00:37:00.001+08:00

Led with as much as 42 points, Kings started strong, ended with too much of a composure as they rallied to spoil Tigers in their May 20 game held at the Big Dome.

Ronald Tubid, is once again, the Kings' dependable hero as he led with 20 points while David Noel shared 18 points & 18 rebounds.

Kings is now a win away from getting that outright Semifinals berth.

Muli, prayers mga kabarangay! It works. We've proven that, many times over.

Scores:

Brgy. Ginebra 122 - Tubid 20, Noel 18, Lanete 13, Baguio 13, Helterbrand 13, Artadi 12, Intal 11, Mamaril 6, Salvacion 5, Menk 5, Kramer 4, Reavis 2, Se 0.

Coca-Cola 85 - Buenafe 21, Taulava 12, Belasco 12, Telan 11, Penny 10, Calimag 7, Singson 5, Cabagnot 2, Avenido 2, Santos 2, Macapagal 1, Rizada 0, Dimaunahan 0. shared 18 points & 18 rebounds.

Cancelled Ginebra-Alaska game, will be played this May 22nd

2009-05-18T19:54:00.003+08:00

Just got an alert from Google.. this is regarding last Saturday's game -- twas between our very own Kings vs Aces -- that has been cancelled. The game will be played on Friday, May 22 at the Araneta Coliseum, and it will be played from the start. Violent reactions, guys? Well, ganun talaga. Di bale, mananalo at mananalo pa rin naman ang Ginebra kahit ilang beses pa ulitin yung game e. Lol. The Kings-Aces duel will be the main game of May 22's doubleheader that will also feature San Miguel Beer vs Coca Cola game.

Ian, call ticketnet now! Magsisiluwas ang mga Uragon, bitin sila sa game e! Wahahaha!

BGK is Simply Unstoppable

2009-05-11T02:33:00.004+08:00

BGK is undeniably, unstoppable, won their 6th straight wins! Last night, they battled with Purefoods TJ Giants minus Mark "The Spark" Caguioa -- who is still in the US, & Junthy "The Hitman" Valenzuela -- who is set to be back in action in 2 weeks time, is still nursing a scar in his left knee. With 12 deadlocks & 13 lead changes, anyone would say, it is anybody's ballgame. But Ginebra showed they are the true champions, emerged as the sole winner among the other 2 SMC teams who rallied last night -- San Miguel Beermen (suffered from Burger Kings Whoppers) & Purefoods TJ Giants.

13,668 fans showed their undying support to their respective teams, cheered & jeered the whole night.

David Noel, who was declared the Best Player of the Game, again, brought the house down with game high 30 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists & led the Barangay Ginebra Kings to winning the game. Jayjay Anthony Helterbrand patiently added 20 points (a sum of which came from the charities). Other contributors were Erik Menk - 14 points. Billy Mamaril Jr. - 12 points. Ronald Tubid & Cyrus Baguio gave 11 points apiece. Whereas JC Intal, Chico Lanete, Rafi Reavis & Paul Artadi poured a couple of jumpers & displayed great hustle & D.

Quaters: 28-25, 62-56, 89-83, 116-109

BGK slashed SLR defense, won by 3pts at 101-98

2009-05-09T10:24:00.004+08:00

CONGRATS BARANGAY GINEBRA KINGS!

101-98 What a performance from our very own reinforcement David Noel who earned for himself the Best Player of the Game award. Kudos to the players who showed exceptional talents & skills - Chico Lanete, Jayjay Helterbrand, Ronald Tubid, Erik Menk, Billy Mamaril, JC Intal, to name a few.

The team is second best (SMB is with 8 winning streak) in terms of winning streak at 5. Will battle with Purefoods tomorrow. Good luck good luck!

Meanwhile, courtside reporter Patricia Bermudez-Hizon mentioned last night that Mark "The Spark" Caguioa is set to undergo his final knee test today. If everything goes okay, then he will be joining with the rest of the GinKings early next week. Juicy news for everyone!

On other news, Chris Pacana, Sunday Salvacion, Doug Kramer were not seen in action last night. Junthy is set to complete his vacation (due to the scar in his left knee) in two-weeks time.

God is good! Let us continue praying for the team! Never say die! GI-NEB-RA! GI-NEB-RA! GI-NEB-RA!

Gaya ng nakagawian, maaga na naman kaming nagkikita-kita pag me laban ang Ginebra. Excited lang, haha!

Marami pa pong pictures, sa multiply account ko -- just search for my email address, imthania@yahoo.com.

Sana lumuwag na rin ang schedule ko para makapunta sa praktis ng team, that way, makuhanan ko ulit ng solo pictures ang alam kong box-office hit sa mga puso nyo -- Jayjay Helterbrand, Ronald Tubid, Paul Artadi, Erik Menk -- to name a few.

Jamships, wag tayong magsasawang sumuporta sa team.. LABAN kung LABAN! Ginebra lang hanggang sa huli! God bless BGK & Jamships!

Walang Iwanan! Ginebra Lang Hanggang Sa Huli!

2009-04-18T21:30:00.001+08:00

Naiiyak naman daw ako.. (hindi dahil sa cervical strain ko..) pero dahil sa panalo ng Ginebra kagabi. I was there, OMG, i was there! Patron A, 1st row, seat 12. Seated on my left was AM & seated on my right was Digs. At yung mga nasa likod at gilid namin, mga kumpare ni Kuya Ronald.

Sino'ng di magiging emosyonal kung 2-5 na nga ang win-loss standing nyo, bungi-bungi na ang lineup, e wala pa kayong reinforcement diba? At habang ang lahat e dinadaot ka na sa mga paninirang morale nila sa barangay, at kung anu-ano pang intriga, ikaw naman, nagpapakatatag kahit gusto mo nang bumigay. Iyakan naaa!

Maaga ako sa Araneta. Like a raging predator ready to feast on some daot. Ay naku. Walang mang-aasar sakin, at talagang makakatikim ng Ray Gun, Kame Hame wave, at Haduken'g malupit. Concentrate ako sa pananalangin na manalo ang team, walang agaw-trip!

Maaga kami ni Digs dun, si sis Dine-ang Beyonce ng Jamships maaga rin, we were able to watch the 1st game pa nga e. Olats ang Redbull, kahit na ba andun na ang ex-Kings na si Crisano-my-loves at Holper, e ano bang pakelam ko sa mga tinamaan ng magaling?!?

Tagal naman ng 2nd game! Argh! At antagal din ni Abitria. Great. Kinakabahan na ako. 3 ang hawak kong cellphone, di ko naman alam kung sino ang rereplyan ko. Adik!

Di nagtagal at nakumpleto kami, gayundin ang mga players na kayang maglaro para sa team. Ayan na sila!!! Bakas sa mukha ng players ang passion sa game, kitang-kita yung determinasyong pagwagian ang game. Naiiyak na ako, pero mas masaya sumigaw! Kaya dedma! Sigawan galore kami ng twin ko! Go Jayjay! Go Menk! Go Paul! Go Chris! Go kuya Ronald! Go kuya Billy! Go Chico! Hala, lahat na. Me sumaway pa samin. At dahil wala kami sa mood makipag-away, sige na lang, pagbigyan, manahimik na muna. Mamaya na ulit ang tilian. Huli na rin namin nalaman, si Sir Danny Espiritu pala yung sumaway samin. Pasaway ka Godfather! Lol.

Kinilabutan ako sa suporta ng barangay kagabi. Walang bumitaw! Wild na, kumbaga. Sigawan lahat! GI NEB RA! GI NEB RA! GI NEB RA! Defense! Defense! Defense! Natuwa rin ako lalo sa bench natin.. ang mga players, super din ang sigawan! At ang staff, talaga naman! I saw Mang Henry shouting, natuwa ako.. tumatayo-tayo pa tuloy kami ni twin sa tuwa. Hay.

Natapos ang game na masaya kami, nakangiti, inuulit-ulit yung mga angas moves ng team.. waaahh! Wala akong masabi! Nothing beats the true champions! Good luck on your Monday game opposite BK.

Para sa pics, sorry isusunod ko na lang. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng nagdasal!

I love the Barangay Ginebra Kings! I love BGK Jamships!

Hello mga ka-JAMSHIPS, friends of JAMSHIPS, mga ka-GOL, mga ka-barangay.. :)

Sa nangyayari sa team ngayon, wag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa.
Ngayon tayo mas kailangan ng team.
Hindi nababahala ang pusong nagtitiwala.

Walang susuko, diba?
Ginebra lang hanggang sa huli.
Ang pinakamaganda nating gawin,
magtiwala, maghintay, at magdasal.

Macky may not be as talented as the other
PBA players today, but I saw in him the big potentials.
He is very hardworking, disciplined. I hope to see Macky
stay humble in the years to come.

"Chris, anong tinitingala mo dyan?"
Hehe.. Kidding.. Nasa ilalim sya ng mismong ring,
hinihintay nya yung bola bumagsak..
It was Chico who's shooting at that time.. :)

Mr. Fearless
Although LAHAT ng players e mahal at suportado ng JAMSHIPS,
isa si Kuya Ronald sa masasabi naming espesyal samin.
Sa kakwelahan nya, pagiging palabati at kakulitan na rin
kahit sa taga-hangang tulad namin.
Para sayo Mr. Fearless, buo ang suporta ng JAMSHIPS sayo.
God bless!

Chico Lanete - although baguhan, buong puso rin naming tinatanggap

Guwardyang si Chico Lanete, Lycean pa yan, ka-alma mater! :)

Nice thing about JAMSHIPS, everybody counts. No matter how many minutes you play on court, you're still part of the team. And JAMSHIPS loves you still.

Though haven't seen you play that much every game, JAMSHIPS loves you, and will cheer for you.
Happy Birthday JAYAR!

GOD Bless You!!!
