Ateneo high magkaka-girls na

SA isang landmark decision,
papapasukin na ng Ateneo de
Manila high school ang mga
babaeng mag-aaral para sa senior high school sa susunod na
taon.
Sa isang memo na may petsang Marso 13, ihinayag ni
Ateneo de Manila University
(AdMU) president Fr. Jose Ramon T. Villarin, S.J., ang pagbubukas ng senior high school
(SHS) sa school year 2016-17.
Bukod sa mga mag-aaral
na mula na sa Ateneo mismo,
ang SHS ay tatanggap ng 300
na lalaki at babaeng magaaral mula sa labas, ayon kay
Villarin.
Aniya, ang landmark deci-

sion ng board of trustees ng

paaralan ay magreresulta sa
pagbabago ng high school ng
Ateneo kung saan magkakaroon ng apat na taon na junior
high school para sa mga baitang mula 7 hanggang 10, at
dalawang taon ng senior high
school para sa mga baitang na
11 at 12.
Dati nang may junior high
school ang Ateneo para sa mga
baitang na Grades 7 at 8,
bukod sa apat na taong high
school.
The coed nature of senior
high school is part of the
preparation for college, paliwanag niya. Jaymee T. Gamil

JASPER LUCENA/MMI LIVE

The night Manila

cast a spell on Ed
By Allan Policarpio

NTO just his second song, Ed

Sheeran had the feeling that his
Manila concert might go down as
his best ever. He promised the thousands of fans who packed the SM Mall
of Asia Arena to the rafters on Friday
night, Were going to sing a lot, dance
a lot, and have the time of our lives.
The British singersongwriter didnt say
scream a lot. But this
is what they did mostly, way before the first
note of every number,
all through the song,
and long after the last
chord was strummed.
The dimming of
lights that signaled
the start of the show
swiftly sent a wave of
diehards surging toward the stage; those
in the lower box seats
scampered down the
steps to get as close
to Sheeran as the barriers permitted.
They leapt,
cheered and shrieked
their heads off, and
Sheeran hadnt even
taken the stage.
Could they get any
louder? The answer
came as soon as
Sheeran materialized:
They could.
Sheeran, fresh from
winning two trophies
at this years Brit
Awards, kicked off the
show with Im a Mess.
Bedlam. And new synonyms for deafening
would have to be
coined now.
In a red plaid shirt
and jeans, Sheeran
looked more like he
was going busking,
which was what he
did before hitting the
big time in 2011 via
his highly successful
debut album +
(pronounced plus).

Quiet confidence
Unassuming was
how Sheeran, 24,
struck us (we were
watching him sing live
for the first time). But
there was a quiet confidence about him, especially in the way he
engaged the audience.
For the entirety of
the show (mounted by
MMI Live), Sheeran
worked the stage
alone: No dancers, no
props, no backing
band. All he had were
his acoustic guitars and
looping pedals that allowed him to produce
multilayered instrumentations by stacking
beats upon riffs.
Where percussive
sounds were needed,
he simply tapped the
guitar he was holding.

Storyteller
His voice was gentle, wistful, with the
slightest quiver and intermittent breaks that
evoked heartbreak or
surrender. This he
showcased beautifully
in his more reverent
numbersLego House,
Tenerife Sea, Photograph and his latest
and biggest hit so far,
Thinking Out Loud.
Needless to say, these
elicited enthusiastic
(again, more synonyms needed here)
sing-alongs.
Sheeran is as much
a storyteller as a mu

numbers that incorporated rock,

hip-hop and varying tempos.
Sheeran jumped atop a box
and implored the fans to clap
their hands to his mash-up of
Dont and Nina, and then ferociously strummed away, his
body hunched over, in the electrifying Bloodstream.

sician. One of his most poignant
works to this day is his first hit,
The A Team, about a young
prostitutes battle with drug addiction. A few seconds in, he
asked everyone to light up their
phones. It was breathtaking in
the darkness.

Earnest melodies
I thought the music I made
was drivel, he said. I come from
a small town in England, and I
never knew that my music could
travel as far as the Philippines.

Although widely popular for

no-frills, earnest melodies, Sheeran showed that he could also let
loose and have a rockin good
time. He proved to be a deft
singer, going from impassioned
crooning to snappy half-raps la
Jason Mraz, to full-on rapping,
as he did in a mash-up of Take It
Back and Superstition, which
started off, rather self-deprecatingly, with the lines, Im not a
rapper /Im a singer with a flow.
Sheeran, whose second al-

bum x (pronounced multiply) reached No. 1 in at least

nine countries, including the
United States, brought the house
down likewise with frenetic

Toward the end, it seemed

that Sheeran had gone more and
more convinced that this concert
would go down in his memory as
one of the best. He told the
fansteenagers and yuppies who
knew every lyric to every song

that he performed, This is honestly, hand on heart, the best reception Ive ever received, ever.
Sheeran vowed, This is my
first trip to the Philippines and it
definitely wont be my last. This
has been an amazing night!
On that note, he ended the
show with the infectious bop of
the soul/dance ditty Sing, which
had the whole Arena hollering
along.
Then lights came back on;
Sheeran had already gone. But
the crowd stayed put, and simply
kept on singing and cheering long
after the music stopped blaring.

Plano ni Roach:
dominahin lahat
ng 12 rounds
Ni Roy Luarca

UNIN ang first round at ang mga susunod

pang rounds. Ito ang simpling plano ni
seven-time trainer of the year Freddie
Roach sa Fight of the Century nina Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather Mayo 2 sa MGM Grand
sa Las Vegas.
Our game plan is to win
every round, sabi ni Roach
sa-fight conference ng welterweight title bout. We
have to win the first round
and take Floyd out of his
comfort zone.
Mahusay si Mayweather
sa kontra-atake at 47 na ang
kanuang biktima sa mga kalaban na pinilit butasin ang
kanyang depensa.
Naniniwala si Roach na
nakita na niya ang tamang
plano upang talunin si Mayweather.
Manny knows how to
beat him. We will make the
right move before we attack
him, sabi ni Roach.
I know how Floyd sets up
people and make them walk
into shots, dagdag ni Roach
na sinabing mabagal na at
iba na ang kilos ng mga hita

ni Mayweather sa boksingero
limang taon nakararaan.
Floyds legs are more
shot now and he has slowed
down quite a bit.
Ayon kay Roach, magreresulta ang kanilang plano
sa pakikipagpalitan ng suntok ni Mayweather.
Floyd will dip into Mannys power, ani 55-taon-gulang Hall of Fame trainer.
Thats the mistake that someone will make against a
southpaw. If Floyd has to exchange with Manny I think
thats good for us and thats
why I think were going to
win this fight.
Naunang sinabi ni Roach
pababagsakin ni Pacquiao si
Mayweather ngunit may
bago siyang pananaw.
If we get the knockout,
then thats just a bonus.

BINUTATA ni Beau Extra

Rice Belga ang desperadong tres ni Mac Baracael
upang hiyain ng Rain or
Shine ang Ginebra San
Miguel, 82-79 sa isang
mainitang sagupaan kagabi
sa PBA Commissioners Cup
sa Cuneta Astrodome.
Matapos ang malutong
butata ay nagbunyi si Belga
na tila isang wrestler sa
World Wrestling Federation
at pinagbabaril ang mga
mangangantyaw ng Ginebra.
Nauna ng pinagbabato ngplastik na bote si Belga ng
mga miron sa third quarter.
Tatlong miron ang kailangang ilabas sa palaruan.
Its another one of those
hard, rugged, exciting games
against Ginebra, wika ni Rain
or Shine coach Yeng Guiao. In
basketball, you have to find
ways to win. We played harder
and stayed focused.
Umakyat ang marka ng
Elasto Painters sa 6-3 tulad
ng Purefoods at Talk N Text.
Bagsak ang Kings sa 4-5
na hindi ligtyas sa maagang
bakasyon.
Sa unang laro, sinagasaan
