Last Night Jake's Streetball 2009 Quarterfinals Match: Afima vs Renegade and GILR Wildcats vs Archmedia.
Renagade and GILR Wildcats in the Semi-Finals.
Nobody noticed him silently slipping back in the final minutes of the game after sitting in the bench for most of the last 3 quarters. Afima had been ahead most of the time even without key player Efren Espiritu.
Bernie Toledo in his prime can easily sink in 3 pointers at will but with a score of 50-all in the last remaining 4-5 seconds of the game, nobody thought he still had it and his coach could only spare him few playing minutes. That final moment after receiving the pass for the last shot, he aimed and fired at the basket, a thundering applause filled the gym. Bernie Toledo has done it again. Final score at 53-50.
In the second game, the depleted lineup of GILR Wildcats minus Rollin Castillo and Allan Talanay had trouble in the early moments of the game being scoreless at 10-0 against a complete Archmedia lineup whose main stars were reinstated by the Committee out of the spirit of the Friendly Games. Unfortunately, Archmedia lost focus and instead concentrated on fault finding rather than making adjustments to preserve their key players who were in foul trouble and losing Roldan Binas halfway the final period. The Final score, 65-61.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque on Thursday evening announced the first case of influenza A (H1N1) in the Philippines.
Duque, who is currently at the World Health Organization (WHO) headquarters in Geneva, said in a teleconference that a Filipina patient who came from a trip abroad last May 18 tested positive for the A (H1N1) virus.
"The Department of Health is officially announcing this evening the first confirmed case of influenza A(H1N1) in the Philippines," Duque said.
"I can confirm a woman is now in quarantine and has been diagnosed with the A(H1N1) virus," Duque said.
She came from a trip to the United States and Canada with her parents, Duque said. Symptoms were not detected on her upon her arrival.
The ten-year-old girl, who is not yet identified, showed symptoms - fever, cough, and sore throat - a day after her arrival in the country and was rushed to a hospital.
He said that the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) got hold of tissue samples from the patient last May 20, and confirmed Thursday that she tested positive for the virus.
The patient is currently being treated at an undisclosed medical facility, Duque said, and is now only suffering from a sore throat.
Arroyo 'concerned'
The DOH is also not disclosing the airport where the patient arrived, and from what province, city or region the patient came from.
DOH officials have also said that President Arroyo is "very concerned" by this development.
Duque also said that contact tracing is already ongoing. The patient's family has been informed and has been asked to perform self-monitoring and quarantine.
"The woman returned with her family who are also being monitored by health authorities," he added.
Duque however clarified that there is no A (H1N1) outbreak in the country and that the government is doing everything to prevent it.
Seven other people are under observation at different Philippine hospitals but laboratory tests have not been completed, the official said.
"We reiterate to the public that the government is on top of the situation and everyone is advised to be vigilant," Duque said.
Some 49 people who had been put under observation in government and private hospitals since May 1 after showing symptoms of the virus have since been discharged, health officials said. With reports from Joey Villarama, ABS-CBN News, dzMM, and the Agence France-Presse

Last night Game result: Afima (101) vs Bmobile (69) and Renegade (65) vs Ziznaa (38).
Afima dominated B-Mobile last night, 101-69 on a 1st quarter romp when B-Mobile’s key players were nowhere to be seen. Afima immediately erected a 9 point cushion and further strenghtened their lead in the 2nd Quarter by 20 points at 56-36 from Chin’s fourth 3-point sniping. Efren Espiritu was at his best last night showing his defensive prowess and two amazing slam dunks drawing applause from the crowd.
By virtue of the 3-way tie in Group C, Archmedia also joins Afima in the quarterfinals
Renegade also affirms their entry in the quarterfinals by subduing a hardworking Zizznaa team, 65-38.
