Welbeth Loberamis

Overall, the Filipi-nos, who trained inHavana, Cuba for al-most a month beforethe tournament, wonthree bouts withLoberamis, Nietes andTacuyan survivingtheir opening assign-ments.

Nietes admitted hewas frustrated by hisfailure to crack thesolid defense put upby Latipov.

Like Nietes, thepower-punching Ta-cuyan fell behind ear-ly against Toda and

needed a solid fourthround to reduce themargin of victory bythe Japanese.

Latipov and Todamade it to the quar-terfinals and needjust one more win tosecure a bronze me-dal.

Latipov meets Ali-aksei Haletsich of Be-larus while Toda bat-tles Raymond Moylettof Ireland.

Pacquiao pagtutulungan nina Valero at De la HoyaNABIGO ang knockout artist nasi Edwin Valero na makaharap siManny Pacquiao kaya tutulun-gan na lang niya si Oscar De laHoya.

Ibinunyag ng isang websitena nakalinya na ang Venezuelanbilang sparring partner ni De la

Hoya na nagsasanay ngayon saBig Bear camp sa California.

“Edwin Valero, the unbeatendestroyer of so many tuk tukdrivers far and wide, is joining(De la Hoya’s) camp in Big Bearas a sparring partner,” sabi niMichael Marley sa boxingconfi-

dential.com kahapon.Si Valero ay may kartang 24-

0 at lahat ng panalo niya ay saknockout, 19 sa unang round.

Sa kabila ng animo nakasisin-dak na rekord ay wala pang ti-nalo si Valero na may malakingpangalan kaya ninais niya noon

na makaharap si Pacquiao.“Is this really a big deal?” ani

Marley. “I suppose so for a one-day publicity hit but the free-swinging Valero is not exactly acarbon copy of Pinoy idol Man-ny Pacquiao in the ring.”

Silence the Gastos Gang withB aya n W I R E L E S S Landline

Beware, the notorious Gastos Gang is on the loose.With every cellphone call you make, the Gastos

Gang can pop out of nowhere, clinking their giantpeso coins and chanting: "Sige, gastos. Gastos langng gastos!"

The Gastos Gang voices out the sentiment of Fil-ipinos who are tired of overspending on meteredcellphone calls. They proclaim what's on your mindin these increasingly hard times-that P6.50 a minuteis too much to pay for a cellphone call.

Luckily, one mobile device is set on silencing theGastos Gang for good: The bayanWIRELESS land-l i n e.

The bayanWIRELESS landline marries the mo-bility of a cellphone and the unlimited calling featureof a landline at a price that's more affordable thanmost cellphone plans. By switching to bayanWIRE-LESS landline, Filipinos can cut their cellphone billsby up to 50%. This means less worrying about gas-tos and more time talking with family members,friends, coworkers, bosses, or anyone else that mat-t e r s.

The chance to cut their bills in half stems from val-ue options available to bayanWIRELESS landlinesubscribers. There is the lowest P499 Basic Wire-less option, where for as low as P17 a day, sub-scribers can enjoy unlimited calls to landlines withinthe same area code as well as unlimited Bayan-to-Bayan texts nationwide.

Similarly, subscribers to the P699 Best Value op-tion can make unlimited calls within the same areacode. It also has unlimited Bayan-to-Bayan callsand texts nationwide. An additional perk is a freeP100 monthly load for NDD and SMS services. It al-so offers the lowest IDD and NDD rates, allowing forlonger talk time with contacts abroad and anywherein the Philippines.

Bayan Telecommunications has packed all thesegreat features into the affordable bayanWIRELESS

landline to bring the voice of Filipinos back. Be-cause unlike metered cellphone calls that areplagued by "Gastos!" chants, bayanWIRELESSlandline gives you all the time in the world to saywhat you really want to say without burning a hole inyour pocket.
