Malacañang Kamao, Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) Furies, House of Representatives Solons, Department of Justice (DOJ) Justice Boosters, Ombudsman Graftbusters, Bureau of Customs (BOC) Transformers and the Senate Defenders. Each of these UNTV Cup team choose a beneficiary or a charity to support with their winning prizes. Senators Angara and Villanueva used to find time to play some basketball in mini-friendly tournaments at the Senate. Angara played for the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons while “Tesdaman” Villanueva was a member of the UST Growling Tigers that won the 56th & 57th UAAP Season. Senators Bam Aquino and Win Gatchalian were also part of the Senate Defenders, with Senate Minority Leader Ralph Recto as playing team manager. Senator Manny Pacquiao withdrew from joining the team due to restrictions in his contract in the PBA league as playing coach of Mahindra. A UPC (Uniform Players Contract) prohibits any PBA player from joining other tournaments. The Senate Defenders chose the NGOs Kythe Foundation which helps hospitalized children with cancer and other chronic illness, Bahay Pangarap Foundation for street children in Pasay City and Share an Opportunity Philippines, which works with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice, as beneficiaries. The 5th UNTV Cup games are telecast over UNTV Channel. Eton B. Concepcion
‘Let’s give Harvey a chance’ –Teo TOURISM Secretary Wanda Teo is counting on the sense of forgiveness of President Rodrigo Duterte and the Filipino people, as well, to accept Steve Harvey to emcee the Miss Universe pageant in Manila. Teo admitted that Duterte expressed hesitations on the likelihood that Harvey would host 2016 Miss Universe coronation night scheduled for Jan. 30, 2017 at the Mall of Asia Arena. The Department of Tourism (DOT) chief said she explained that Harvey is in a five-year contract to emcee the pageant. Harvey has been vocal in expressing his apologies for his mistake of announcing Miss Colombia as the winner before he realized that Bb. Pilipinas Universe Pia Wurtzbach was adjudged the 2015 Miss Universe. “Miss Universe Pageant is four months away. That’s more than enough time to assuage President Duterte about his hesitation on Mr. Harvey’s hosting the event. I’ve known him for many years as our Davao City Mayor with a big heart for well-meaning people like Mr. Harvey, who did not hesitate to correct his mistake,” Teo said. In an interview on DZMM with Castro, Teo also pointed Noli de Castro out, “I will personally speak with the President and may even ask the help of Pia to convince him to give Mr. Harvey the chance he deserves.” She went on to say, “The reigning Miss Universe, our very own Pia Wurtzbach has the magnanimity to appreciate the way Mr. Harvey stepped up to redeem himself. I’m counting on the same sense of forgiveness and class-act among Filipinos.” In the Miss Universe Organization Facebook page, a photo of Wurtzbach and Harvey is posted showing the questionand-answer portion of 2015 Miss Universe, captioned “#TBT to the night that changed my life. Steve Harvey, let’s do it again and changed someone else’ life.” Meanwhile, Teo clarified that the DOT is leaving to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to address the problem of homelessness that one news reporter said may be “eyesore” during the Miss Universe events. “I do not consider homeless and street dwellers as mere eyesores. They are rather a manifestation of the tragic poverty that the Duterte Administration is addressing right now, through the DSWD and housing agencies,” Teo stressed. She assured the DSWD under Sec. Judy Taguiwalo would implement humane and longlasting programs and projects to uplift the lives of poor Filipinos in the streets. The previous DSWD administration was condemned for hauling street dwellers and billeting them to a resort outside Metro Manila for the duration of Pope Francis’ visit and the APEC Summit last year.
