                    [Summary] => Red Bull Barako team manager Tony Chua felt his team was a bit lax while Barangay Ginebra stayed focused throughout the title series as the Kings vanquished the Thunder for the Gran Matador PBA Fiesta Conference championship Wednesday night.


"Ginebra did its homework well. They’re hungrier and maybe that’s the reason why they were more focused in the series than us," said Chua after the Kings denied them a third PBA crown before a throng of fans. 


"Our team, on the other hand, became lax. Complacency did us in," Chua added.

It was a slow day at the advertising agency where I worked until my boss, George Balagtas, came bounding into our area brimming with excitement. "US cigarette manufacturers just agreed to voluntarily stop cigarette advertising on broadcast media," he said. Even if I was already in middle management, I didn’t know exactly what this meant. Advertising is a field premised on experience. You don’t really know what will happen until it happens so you have to be very observant and analytical.

Photokina Marketing Corp., in a strongly worded statement, said Benipayo’s accusations against them were "vicious and baseless."


This developed as four commissioners of the poll body once again refused to attend their twice-a-week  en banc meeting allegedly due to the harsh remarks made by Benipayo about them the other day.
