RICHARD A. REYES
Face-off nina Aquino, Binaynay. The public will be watching
who receives more votes between
Nancy Binay and Bam Aquino. Iam sure both parties and partyleaders are conscious of this.
Dinagdag pa ng opisyal ngLiberal Party: Moving forwardto 2016, their popularity andendorsement power willstrengthen or weaken depend-ing on their accomplishments.
Ngunit pinabulaanan ni Sen.Sergio Osmea III ang pananaw
na tagisan ng dalawang pinaka-mataas na opisyal ang kampa-
nya ngayong taon.The greater majority of theindividual candidates who arecurrently shown by reputablepolls to be in the winning col-umn had already been shown tobe winners prior to having beenrecruited by one coalition or theother, aniya.
Kaugnay ng harapang Bam atNancy, sinabi ni Osmea: The
contest is not and has neverbeen considered by the voters as
a proxy battle between P-Noyand Jojo. At the edges, the P-Noyfactor helped transform someTeam PNoy losers into winnersand also marginalized someheretofore winning candidates ofUNA. It is a matter of relativitybut the P-Noy factor has helpedto some degree. Jojo remains im-mensely popular but this seemsto have benefited only Nancy.
Ni Gil C. Cabacungan
TINITINGNAN ang paghalal sa mga senador nga-yong araw bilang harapan sa pagitan nina Pa-ngulong Aquino at Vice President Jejomar Binay
upang mabatid kung sino ang mas hahatak ng boto.Dala ng mga botong
makukuha ni Paolo BenignoBam Aquino IV ng Team PNoyat ni Nancy Binay ng UnitedNationalist Alliance ang pagma-mayabang ng dalawang
nakatataas na opisyal para sahalalang pampangulo sa 2016.
Sinabi ni Sen. Ralph Recto:The 2013 election is a gauge ofpopularity and endorsementpower between PNoy and VP Bi-
Lord, gabayan Nyopo ang lahat ng boboto sa araw
na ito na piliin ang tamang mga
kandidato na tunay na magli-
lingkod para sa mga mamamayan
at hindi para sa kanilang mgapansariling kapakinabangan. Tang-
gapin nawa ng mga di-papalarin
ang kanilang pagkatalo at tumu-

maisulong ang kapakanan ng am-

Carla handang tulungansi Geoff na magpapayatNi Marinel R. Cruz
IT WAS bound to happen. It was not a shock to him atall, ani Carla Abellana tungkol sa pag-uutos ng mga
nang matanggap angutos, ngunit he knewit was his fault. Geoffis a foodie.
Inulat sa Internetna sinabi umano ngisang show biz insiderna wala nang nagawaang mga opisyal ngnetwork kundi padal-han ng kautusan siGeoff, na kitang-kita
ang pagbigat ng tim-bang sa katataposlang na palatuntunangdrama na Forever.
Sinabi ng managerni Geoff na si PerryLansigan na handaang aktor na makiisa
ngunit hindi binanggitkung anong paraanng pagpapapayat anggagawin nito.
He has asked atleast two weeks to
work out at the gymand come up with a
diet plan thats bestfor him. He was usedto eating onlysteamed meat, but he
wasnt consistent. Helacked discipline, aniCarla sa INQUIRER. I
would always tell him
to stick to his diet,even though he hatedbeing reminded.
Nangako si Carlana susuportahan siGeoff sa abot ngmakakaya niya.
Anang aktres: Id
join him in his diet ifneed be. I was happy
when he decided togo biking one time. Iencouraged him to doit. I always try to mo-tivate him.
Sinabi ni Carla nabinabantayan niya angkinakain niya. I dontrestrict myself. I justtry as much as possibleto eat the right food inthe right amount.
Abala si Carla sapaghahanda para sabagong seryeng dramasa GMA 7 na My Hus-bands Lover, na mag-sisimulang ipalabas sa
Hunyo. Ginagam-panan niya ang papelna Lally, maybahay ngtauhan ni Dennis Tril-lo na si Vincent.
Their beautiful re-lationship turned sourin time. At first, Lally
suspected that herhusband was cheatingon her. When she de-cides to investigate,
she discovers that heis gay, anang aktres.Sinabi ni Carla na
batid niya kung gaanokakontrobersyal angpaksa ng programa, atnatutuwa sa GMA 7dahil sa pagtalakay di-to sa isang serye. Ibelieve that the audi-ence is ready forsomething like this. Itstruthful and timely.
Sinabi ng aktres, nanakatakda sanangmagbida sa seryengpantasya na Mrs. SnowWhite, na nalungkotsiya nang nagpasyaang Kapuso na isantabimuna ang proyekto.
Aniya, ipalalabassana nitong Marso angpalatuntunan, ngunitnitong Enero langnagsimulang magtraba-ho ang nasa produk-
syon, dinagdag niya.They needed
more time to preparefor it, tinukoy ni Car-la. They also neededto order a body suitfor me from the Unit-ed States.

Pacers, Grizzlies
escape, go up 2-1THE INDIANA Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies both took2-1 leads in their NBA conference semifinal series withvictories on Saturday, as two of the leagues moremodest teams got the better of the New York Knicksand Oklahoma City Thunder, respectively.
Indianas Roy Hibbert fin-ished with 24 points and 12 re-bounds, while Paul Georgenearly came up with another
postseason triple double, lead-ing the Pacers to an 82-71 win.
The Knicks had only oneplayer in double figures. Carme-lo Anthony scored 21, but theNBA scoring champion went 6of 16 from the field, managedonly two points and no basketsin the fourth quarter and fin-ished well below his playoffscoring average of 29.3.
Memphis remained unbeaten
at home in the postseason aftera gritty but unspectacular 87-81
win over the Oklahoma CityThunder.
Marc Gasol scored 20 pointsand hit two late free throws leftto put Memphis ahead to stay.
After struggling at the freethrow line in Oklahoma City, theGrizzlies hit all six at the line inthe final 1:03 to clinch it.
Its frustrating, but we canthang our heads, said Okla-homa Citys Kevin Durant, whoscored 25 points, but only twoin the fourth quarter. Iwires
NASA mukha ni Thunder Kevin Durant ang determinasyon na makalusot sa depensa ni Grizzlies ZachRandolph sa Game 3 ng Western Conference semis nitong Sabado. Itinala ng Memphis ang 2-1 abante nangipanalo ang laro, 82-71. AFP

Ginebra gain finals
markers built around eighttriples. Old hands Kerby Ray-mundo and Jay-Jay Helter-brand also finished with twindigits and combined for 28more points.
Talk N Text was led by the42 points of Tony Mitchell andJason Castro finished with 15points before fouling out. Butthe Texters were easier to han-dle last night because of severalmissing personnel.
Ranidel de Ocampo did notsuit up for the Texters becauseof a swollen calf sustained latein Game 4 from a waywardknee from Rudy Hatfield. Hisabsence created a gaping holein the middle for the Texters asfar as defending Macklin wasconcerned.

BARANGAY Ginebra didnt need its trademarkcomeback on this one. The Gin Kings posted awire-to-wire 111-103 triumph over walking
wounded Talk N Text last night to book the second ti-tle series slot in the Cebuana Lhuillier-PBA Commis-sioners Cup before another overflow crowd at SmartAraneta Coliseum.
Ginebra opened up with sev-en unanswered points and thenbuilt a 22-point lead early in
the second half before weather-ing several Talk N Text ralliesto secure its first Finals appear-ance in two years.
Rallying from a 1-2 deficitfor a 3-2 series win, Ginebra ad-
vanced opposite Alaska in abest-of-five championship show-down that starts Wednesday,
with the Kings having a chancefor a first title since the 2008Fiesta Conference with the 7-
foot Chris Alexander.LA Tenorio was the biggest
man on the floor for the Kings,
shooting 12 of his 28 points inthe fourth period, including sev-eral clutch layups that helpedput the Texters away and takethe Kings to their 20th title se-ries in the history of their popu-lar franchise.
Vernon Macklin added 22points that went with 20 re-bounds and Mac Baracaelplayed his finest game in aGinebra uniform with 21
