‘Inday’ intensifies,
moves closer to RP
THE active low pressure area located east of
Northern Luzon has intensified into a tropical
depression named “Inday” and it is expected
to enter the country on Friday.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical
and Astronomical Services Administration
(Pagasa), however, said “Inday” may only
bring rains as of this moment as it is still far
to affect major parts of the country.
The Philippine Coast Guard said the
agency is not issuing any advisory yet since
Pagasa has yet to impose any storm signal.
The Coast Guard, however, said its personnel
in regional offices are on standby in case of
emergency.
Pagasa said that as of 10 a.m. yesterday, the
tropical depression was estimated, based on
satellite and surface data, at 640 kilometers
east of Basco, Batanes.
“Inday carries a maximum sustained
winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) near
3
the center and moving west-northwest at the
speed of 11 kph.
It is forecast to be 420 kilometers east-
northeast of Basco, Batanes this morning.
The tropical depression is expected to be
290 kilometers north-northeast of Basco on
Friday morning, and 370 kilometers north of
Basco on Saturday morning.
Pagasa has not raised public storm warning
signals since the weather disturbance is still
far to affect any part of the country.
However, an intertropical convergence
zone will continue to affect and bring scat-
tered rainshowers and thunderstorms over
Southern Luzon and the Visayas.
Pagasa said Luzon and Visayas will ex-

rainshowers and thunderstorms. CITIZENS’ SHADOW REPORT

Adamson ay close match.
Natalo man sila, konting puntos
lang.
Kaya nga marami ang nagsabing
magiging malakas sila this season
kasi nga, hindi naman napalitan ang
line-up nila.
At ngayong season nga, nakapasok
na sila sa Final Four.
Hindi na pakakawalan ni Coach
Leo Austria ang pagkakataon na ito
na makarating sa Finals kahit pa
No.3 sila.
Para sa kanya, wala nang impo-
sible ngayon.

Ano naman kaya ang plano ng UP
7
Corteza in action
“I would like to thank Sir Jona-
than Sy and coach Christopher
Palses who is always helping my
local and international tournament
together with Kopiko and Energen,”
said Corteza, currently ranked No.2
in the world. He dream of winning
the WPA World 9-Ball title.
NBS president Jonathan Sy
lauded Corteza’s latest feat in a
separate interview: “He deserves
this... I'm really happy for him.
This proves once again that the
Filipino can be at par with the
world's best cue artists.”
Maroons ngayon,
matapos na maka-
register sila ng 0-14
sa season na ito?
By far, iyan na
yata ang worst re-
cord nila in years.
Yan kahit na
sinabi nila noon na malakas ang
line-up nila.
What's next for UP?
Total revamp pa?

Hanggang ngayon ang tanong sa
NCAA, sino kaya ang tatalo sa San
Beda Red Lions.
Dalawang malakas na teams
na lang ang makakalaban ng San
Beda.
Pag hindi tinalo ang San Beda,
mag-iiba ang istorya sa Final Four.
Instead na No. 4 at No. 2 vs. No. 3
magiging ladder ang labanan.
No.4 vs. No.3 at ang mananalo sa
kanila, haharapin ang No.2.
Thrice to beat ang mangyayari sa
No.1 team.
‘Yan ang ayaw mangyari ng ibang
teams kasi nga, parang imposibleng
talunin ng tatlong beses ang malakas
na Red Lions team.
Kaya ang tanong pa rin matatalo
pa kaya ngayong second round ang
SBC Red Lions?
