Jerwin, as a graduate school student played for the Green Archers from 2003 to 2004. He was part of that bumper rookie class that included JV Casio and Ryan Araña.
Jerwin was indeed the most hardworking Archer during those years and he successfully filled in the void left by the departure of several veterans the season before. As a rookie, he immediately established himself as one of the prime catalysts of the team along with veterans Manny Ramos, Joseph Yeo and Mac Mac Cardona. Despite being a rookie-laden team in 2003, the Green Archers remained a contender and was just a win short of reaching the finals.
It was just unfortunate that he was snubbed during the 2005 PBA draft. He then played in the PBL and was part of those multi-titled Harbour Centre teams.
adidas, the global sportswear brand, releases its second collection of track tops, shirts, and bags under the much-coveted Philippine Range. Q7CBA3H3CSN6
The latest collection, now available in stores, features two classic color combinations: black and gold and silver and white. Most striking in the new design is the creative rendition of the Philippine map, whose 7,107 islands are represented by over 70 adidas footwear. “The second collection is inspired by the different shoes of adidas,” says Pam So-Suarez, head of go-to-market, adidas Philippines. “When you wear the adidas Philippine Range, you wear a whole nation. This is what we want to express in the new design.”

It was the night when the UAAP’s best shared the limelight – at least on stage.
But beyond the dimly lit podium that revered Season 72′s outstanding athletes, young actor and swimming sensation Ernest Lorenzo “Enchong” Dee merited extra – and “unexpected” – attention from spectators and fellow awardees that mobbed him at the sidelines of the UAAP Awards Night on Thursday last week at the FEU Auditorium.
For the second straight year, the valiant efforts of the different sports teams of DLSU resulted in a runner-up finish in the UAAP General Championship. And it seems that for the umpteenth time, the España Armada showed overall consistency in all sports disciplines in this annual athletic meet to romp off with the overall title. The perennial supremacy of the UST contingent has many wondering whether it’s the large student population or just excellent recruitment and training. Whatever it is, UST remains to be the yardstick of a great school athletic program.

The DLSU Animo Squad took one huge step in its quest to be among the cheer elite yesterday as they finished 4th in the National Cheerleading Championship (NCC). The team made significant strides from their 11th place finish last year as they put up a superb performance in this 19-team meet. They started their routine very strong and though some slip-ups happened, they managed to finish strong.
Having a word with OSD Director Edwin Reyes, he said that the squad has improved tremendously and though they did not make it in the top 3, finishing 4th place amongst all the top cheerleading teams in the country is already an outstanding feat itself. The Animo Squad are very happy with this victory and are determined to do better in the coming competitions they will participate in.

Don Allado and Rico Maierhofer, former Green Archer stars of different eras teamed up to help Purefoods win its nth PBA All-Filipino championship today via a sweep over the hardluck Alaska team. The two guys are born winners, having won multiple titles in the UAAP and the PBL.
Don, a two-time UAAP MVP and champion, was acquired by Purefoods last year and provided solid support to the more established big men in the team. Now on his 10th season as a pro, it seems that he has found a home at Purefoods.
For Rico, his pro career is just about to take-off. The second overall pick in this season’s draft, he is truly a prized catch. His overall intensity and play fits the team’s run-and-gun offense. He is currently one of the leaders for the top rookie award.
Such faith the coaching staff of Purefoods has with these two that they decided to let go of several key players during the off-season. It pays to have players who know what it takes to be a champion. Talk about instant results.
This pic says it all! The Lady Spikers have already put this recently concluded season behind them and will look forward to a more fruitful campaign next year. This was taken during their thanksgiving dinner hours after last Saturday’s game.
The team will remain intact for next season as most of the seniors still have one year of eligibility left. This of course is assuming that they decide to return for another tour of duty. The future looks bright for our Lady Spikers and even though they were not able to defend the crown this year, they still gave us one helluva performance. And for that we thank you Ladies.
