It's been a
month since the last time that I watched the Filoil Pre Season Hanes Cup. Everytime that I
planned to watch it live there's something
happening or an event that I have to attend to. Watching it live and on TV is way different. When you watch it
live you can really feel the school spirit
and you can actually feel the intensity of the game, especially when the game is about to end and yet
your school team has a two point deficit then suddenly your
school star player do his swish fade away
shot and put the score into a deadlock, then the last thing you know is you're jumping and chanting for
your team. This is really a nerve racking experience.
QUARTERFINALS EXPERIENCE
Last Wednesday my sister and I went to San Juan
Arena to watch the quarterfinals to support
the number one team in UAAP, the Ateneo Blue Eagles. Before we went to the arena, we went first to SM
The Block to buy our tickets. Everytime
that we bought tickets at SM Tickets, they never
fail to annoy us.
First Encounter
My sister: "Miss, magkano yung ticket para sa quarterfinals ng Filoil?"
Clerk: "Eto po sabay turo sa screen"
MS: "Ano pinagkaiba nila, bakit yung isa mas mahal eh pareho lang
naman na lower box?"
C: "Ahh, magkaibang game yun, per game kasi ang bayad."
MS: "Hah! Ibig sabihin pag bumili ako ng ticket ung isang laban lang
mapapanuod ko tapos bibili ako uli ng ticket para mapanuod ko ung next
game.
My sister went home and visited the online ticketing of SM Tickets, she was shocked to see that it's already sold out.
Second Encounter
MS: "Miss, pabili ng ticket para sa Filoil."
C: "San po dito ma'am?"
MS: "Lower Box. Bakit ganon 120 at 175 ang prive bakit dalawa?"
C: "Kasi ma'am free seating po yung 175 at reserve seats po yung 120."
MS: "Mas mahal ang free seating sa reserve seat?"
C:"Yes ma'am"
WHATTT??? mas mahal ang free seating! Hindi nila alam mga pinagsasabi nila, hello mas mahal ang reserve seat kasi anytime pwede ka mapaalis sa inuupuan mo pag nakareserve na yun! Chararat si ate.
Intense Highlights
The first game was between San Beda and Benilde.
It was an intense game. I was seated at the
beda's side and I was scared because beda's crowd are so hot, they cussed the refs and even the
Benilde players. And there's this guy that
really caught my attention he challenged Benilde's
coach Richard Del Rosario a fight! They exchanged words. I'm not against the San Beda Community it's just that I'm
not used to that kind of crowd. Anyway the
Red Lions won over the Blazers.
The second game was between UST and NU. Wow Jeric
Teng, Clark Bautista and Jeric Fortuna did
a superb job but sadly their score was not enough
to beat the bulldogs. Ray Parks leads the NU to a victory. Nothing special or controversial happened in this game.
It was a smooth sailing game.
The third game was between ADMU and FEU. Juami
Tiongson and Tonino Gonzaga lead the Eagles.
Juami exploded in the last quarter he bangs a back to back three point shot. The tamaraws responded to
Juami's shot Mike Tolomia hit the three and
as well as Bringas. Before the first half
ends the other Bringas was thrown out of the court because of thrash talking. This is a tail to tail battle but in the
end Ateneo won.
The last game was between DLSU and San Sebastian.
This is the most intense and the most
physical game. La Salle's crowds are wild, they also cussed the refs and the Stags players and they do a
lot of thrash talking and yelling words
that are below the belt! I kinda understand why they act like that because the refs’ calls are so unfair,
they're always in favor of the STAGS. In
this game it had a loooong commotion and
Abueva was thrown out. The most physical thing happened there was when Jeron Teng banged on the floor because he was hit
somewhere in his jaw part by a certain
player of SSC-R. Luckily, La Salle survived and won.
Usually every after the game, we waited for the
players to come out in their dug outs so we
can strike a pose with them. Here are some of my pictures. Sadly, this is my last hoorah for Filoil. Semi
finals and Finals are conflict to my schedule.
