A very heartfelt congratulations and greetings to the 40th Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office Presidential Gold Cup.
In life, 40 years is an important milestone. I am optimistic that this is no different in the case of the PCSO’s 40th Presidential Gold Cup.
PCSO has a long traditional relationship with horseracing. When sweepstakes was our sole product in the �0s, our first three prizes were determined by the ranking of the horses that carried our tickets. this is no longer the practice but the old horse and jockey icon remains a sentimental memory of a legacy.
Horseracing is a sport that symbolizes man’s competitive spirit and determination to get to one’s goal—whether this be the finish line rankings or reaching one’s own ambition and dreams.
As we remember moments of horseracing past, may this 40th celebration kindle new beginnings and fortunes.

the PCSO is proud to welcome you to our celebration of the Ruby Anniversary of Philippine racing’s most significant event – the PCSO Presidential Gold Cup, now on its 40th running.
It is the longest continuously-held event in racing, if not among other sports in the country as well. Certainly there are few events that have been sustained for more than a generation as this one has.
In the face of challenges, the race is still held every year. In doing so, we preserve and perpetuate a hallowed sporting tradition and show respect to a partnership of decades’ standing.
We also fulfill the objectives of helping support an industry that benefits thousands of employees and their families, provides opportunities for business and economic growth, contributes to agricultural and infrastructural development, and remits around a billion pesos in direct taxes to the government each year.
PCSO dedicates this race, for the third year in a row, to President benigno S. Aquino III as the race honoree.
thank you for joining us for the Ruby Anniversary commemoration of the PCSO Presidential Gold Cup. Our warmest wishes for good fortune to the participants and racing fans. Let us look forward to more years of this grand tradition!

two months ago, I received an award from PCSO for having completed forty years of service in this agency.
I have been here just as long as the PCSO Presidential Gold Cup, and it is a rare privilege for me, as it must be for anyone, to have been part of the inception of an activity and to see it grow over the years into the phenomenon it is now.
From its humble beginnings, the PCSO Gold Cup is now a beloved tradition of the generations of racing fans that have seen a new champion crowned each year. this is an immense pleasure that we are happy to share with you.
this year’s event features an interesting lineup of the finest and most talented local-bred and island-born thoroughbreds, and we hope you will enjoy and never forget this once-in-a-lifetime race.
My sincerest wishes to all the participants and spectators for a successful and memorable PCSO Presidential Gold Cup – Ruby Anniversary edition!

The PCSO Presidential Gold Cup was designed by Dr. Galo B. Ocampo, technical adviser on heraldry to the Office of the President. It was crafted and engraved by
Jose J. Tupaz Jr. of El Oro Engravers of Manila.
The original cup, made of brass, about two feet tall, is covered with elements and motifs from Philippine history and legend – galleons with sails flying, the battle between Lapu-Lapu and Magellan,
Malakas and Maganda emerging
from their bamboo cradles, and much more.
A replica half the size, but with a different
design including the likeness of the sitting president is awarded to the race winner each year.
From the PCSO, General Manager Atty. Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II; from Philracom, Chairman Angel L. Castaño Jr. and Executive Director Jesus B. Cantos; and from PRCI, Director Atty. Ramon P. Ereñeta Jr. and Executive Vice-President and COO Allan V. Abesamis wielded their pens on the contract that ensured the Ruby Anniversary edition of the sport’s longest-continuously held sponsored race.
Held for the first time in 1973, the race was met with “wide spontaneous acclaim,” according to the message of then-PCSO Chairman-General Manager Nereo C. Andolong printed in the souvenir magazine for the second running of the race.
He added that he hoped the
the international racing scene as the Philippines’ G1 stakes race.
Chairman Andolong’s objective for the event was the same as it is today – “to serve the lofty purposes of national sports development” and to “elevate horseracing and horse-breeding to a rightful position of respect in the country.”
The Origin of the Iconic Gold Cup
THE story of the Presidential Gold Cup is a story of achievement and of vision of things to come. It is a story of a post that is heroic in proportion, of a present marked by progress, and of a future that will bring its own blend of challenge and change.
In magnitude and prestige, the Presidential Gold Cup is certain to equal, if not in the long run excel, the classic races held elsewhere in the world. Be it the Melbourne Cup of Australia, the Prime Minister’s Gold Cup of Malaysia, the Wellington Cup of New Zealand, & Japan’s Emperor’s Cup and Derby.
Moreover, as conceived by Col. Nereo C. Andolong, Chairman-General Manager of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, the Presidential Gold Cup seeks to have a meaning that transcends the cold pageantry of similar events abroad. To live up to the nobility of events and things brought under the pale of the Presidency, this premier horseracing event must therefore seek a deeper significance in the Filipino soul and experience.
Thus, it departs from the mere glitter and thrill of the classic race abroad by consecrating itself
to humanitarian ends. The Presidential Gold Cup intends to draw nationwide concern to charity races and the benefits derived therefrom by the less fortunate Filipinos. It strives to foster among the people an abiding faith in the capacity of society to look upon the orphan, the sick and the infirm with a
compassionate eye.The immediate boon to local
horseracing, both as a business concern and a sportman’s delight, cannot of course be entirely ignored. At stake In the Presidential Gold Cup are awards and cash prizes never offered by any previous racing event in the country. This is not to mention the unprecedented chance to make history, open to horse and owner, in one magnificent dash.
Finally, new and higher standards set to qualify for the Presidential Gold Cup have been designed to promote a breed of Filipino horses comparable in pedigree with the world’s best. Such loftier goals for the local horseracing business have been adopted because Filipinos have amply demonstrated a capacity to excel “wherever the race deserves a good run.”
tHE STORY OF tHE GOLD CUP
Colonel Nereo C. Andolong began his career as a journalist, and was elected president of the National Press Club. He was later appointed to head the PCSO during the ‘70s.

The 39th Gold Cup:11 December 2011,
San Lazaro Leisure ParkPCSO 2010 Gold Cup and
2011 Silver Cup victor Yes Pogi, a local-bred colt, was gunning for another win in this event, but was thwarted by the outstanding speed and skill shown by Magna Carta over the 2,000-meter journey.
Yes Pogi, who also won the November 20 San Miguel Beer-MARHO Cup Classic event over the same distance, was sent off as the favorite, with Magna Carta a close second.
When the gates clanged back, Carriedo jumped for the lead, with Constatic just behind him. Yes Pogi ran off-the pace in third, followed by Gastambide and Magna Carta in fifth.
With regular rider Manolito Daquis aboard, Yes Pogi took the lead briefly at the backstretch, relegating Carriedo to second. But with a flick of the whip, jockey Jesse Guce urged his
mount Magna Carta past the frontrunners to take the lead at the far turn, never looking back from there to win by almost two lengths.
Magna Carta (Woodman – Pledge the Fifth) earned P2.5 million in prize money for his spectacular feat (P1 million of that amount provided by the Philippine Racing Commission). The total time was 2:07 (24.5-24-26.5-25.5-26.5).
Wilbert Tan’s Sulong Pinoy came in second for P500,000; Francis Lim’s Yes Pogi, third for P250,000; and Nathaniel Velasco’s The Rock, fourth for P125,000. The breeder’s purse of P50,000 went to Mayor Leonardo “Sandy” Javier Jr.
At the awarding ceremony at Manila Jockey Club’s SLLP were PCSO general manager Atty. Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II and Director Atty. Ma. Aleta L. Tolentino, as well as
Committee on Races chairman Atty.
Jose T. Malang, Draw and Races department manager Carlos Castillo, and others from PCSO.
From Philippine Racing Commission were chairman Angel L. Castano Jr., commissioner and executive director Jesus Cantos, commissioner lawyer Victor Tantoco, and racing consultant Dr. Romeo Buencamino.
Also present were Manila Jockey Club EVP-COO Atty. King Reyno and racing manager Jose Ramon C. Magboo.
Mayor Javier was sentimental as he held the heavy Gold Cup replica aloft with the help of his son Michael Dragon T. Javier, registered owner of Magna Carta: “We’ve been waiting for this for ten years.” As he caressed the image of President Benigno Aquino III engraved on the cup, he said softly, “Hello, my friend.”
It was a well-deserved win for the racing stable/breeding ranch combo that has greatly contributed to the upliftment of Philippine racing over the years, as Mayor Javier has unstintingly sought to upgrade the quality of local Thoroughbred bloodstock through importation and careful and judicious breeding based on scientific principles and his famous “gut feel”.

his stable, Magna Carta, defeat eight others to win the 17th PCSO Silver Cup.
The 2,000-meter race saw bettors send Magna Carta off as the outstanding favorite, and lawyer Sixto Esquivias IV’s coupled entries Arvin Dugo and Cheese Mosa as far second pick.
Steered once more by hotshot jockey Jesse Guce, Magna Carta ran off the pace just behind frontrunner Arvin Dugo, with Hari ng Yambo behind in third.
Magna Carta made his move in the back stretch to
grab the lead from Arvin Dugo at the far turn.
With jockey Jesse holding his mount in check for most of
the race to preserve the colt till the rally, Magna
Carta seemed to have wings when he hit his stride
down the lane, flying over a heavy track to replicate his Gold Cup time of 2:07 with splits of 24’-24’-26’-25-26’ to finish four lengths ahead of Hari ng Yambo.
The win was worth P2.5 million for Magna Carta’s connections, who set their sights on the 40th PCSO Presidential Gold Cup.
Arvin Dugo came in third, Prime Rate fourth, Darleb fifth.
Also-rans were Barkley, Money Queen, High Voltage, and Cheese Mosa.
A beaming Mayor Javier joked with racing fans who congratulated him, saying that just before the race he “felt like throwing up.” Upon his son Michael Dragon’s hoisting the replica Silver Cup as the
registered owner, he said he was gratified that his ambition of owning a Silver Cup with President Benigno

Hagdang Bato, a progeny of Quaker Ridge out of Fire Down Under, has, as of this writing, suffered only one setback in its racing career. For the grueling 2,000 meters, the prized runner of Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos was clocked at a shade over 2:07 when it won the third leg of the 2011 Triple Crown.
That run was followed by an awesome 1:37’ for the mile in the Bagatsing Racing Festival, show-ing us all that Hagdang Bato can do even more.
Magna Carta (Woodman-Pledge the Fifth) of Michael Dragon Javier, on the other hand, has shown everyone that it likes the distance, having won all three of the last 2,000-meter races it ran, most recent of which was the Philracom Ambassador Eduardo M. Conjuangco, Jr. Cup held last November 18 at San Lazaro Leisure Park where Magna Carta notched a 2:06’ victory over a game Tensile Strength.
If we follow the clock alone then we can already put Magna Carta at an advantage. The trouble is, Magna Carta will be carrying 58 kilos, three and one-half kilos heavier than the handi-
Magna Carta vs. Hagdang Bato: A Jewel of a Match cap weight of Hagdang Bato.
The additional weight could wipe out Magna Carta’s advantage, although knowing how serious his connections are, it is not far-fetched to assume that he has had practice runs carrying this weight by now.
One good thing going for the Javier stable, however, is jockey Jesse Guce’s long partnership with Magna Carta. Jesse’s pre-sumed mastery of the weakness-es, if any, of Magna Carta, and the runner’s strengths may yet prove to be the decisive factor in a competition such as this where split-second decisions are made depending on how the other run-ners perform.
Hagdang Bato does not like to be rushed into action. If Hagdang Bato takes the lead from the gate, its rider Jonathan Hernandez is more than likely to employ his signature aerodynamic technique and simply let Hagdang Bato run at his own pace, with zero to little urging in the first and second can-tos, with tight reins to conserve energy.
If another runner tries to take the pacing chores away, Hernan-dez is more than likely to yield the lead. Bienvenido Pierre M. Niles III’s Steel Creation (Reenact-Asap), Felizardo R. Sevilla Jr.’s Tensile Strength (Kangoo-Real Storm) and Nathaniel Velasco’s Cinderella Kid (Kafwain-End Sweeps Girl) all have gate speed but could be hesitant to match strides with Hagdang Bato in the early going.
Magna Carta, on the other hand, would be content with a third lane in the fourth or fifth spot up to the mile marker, making sure that those ahead would not be more than five lengths away.
On the other hand, Wilfred S. Yason’s Chevrome (Conquista-rose - Hantuchova ), Divina Dy’s Pleasantly Perfect (Inter-rogate-Passing on Passion ), and Herminio S. Esguerra’s Purple Ribbon (Account of Grace- Fever-ishly) will play the roles of back-markers.
The more serious hostilities will commence a few meters after the mile marker is passed as challenges for the lead will al-ready be made against Hagdang Bato (expected by this writer to have that lead by this stage) starring Steel Creation, Magna Carta, Tensile Strength, and Cinderella Kid, with Chevrome, Pleasure Giver and Purple Ribbon also trying to close the gap, hoping to snatch a victory at the wire in the event that the hustling and jostling that transpires dur-ing the challenge for the lead is protract-ed.
In the exciting sport of horse racing, time and again, experi-ence has
taught us that there is only such a thing as a sure win after the race is over. The fine regal animals, good as they are, conditioned to the prime as they may be, are not machines
eIGht of the best racehorses in the country are slated to compete in the Ruby Edition of the Presidential Gold Cup. Many, however, this early have conceded this race to be a showdown between this year’s triple
Crown Champion, hagdang Bato, and 2011 PCOS Presidential Gold Cup and 2012 PCSO Silver Cup champion, Magna Carta. And why not?
by ATTY. WILFRED DE UNGRIA
whose performances can be re-peated with precision. Thus, one can never rule out the prospects of an upset.
For example, at the earlier mentioned November 18 ECJ Cup face-off between Tensile Strength and Magna Carta, the latter started to attack the lead earlier but from the fifth spot. Tensile Strength was able to enter the homestretch earlier than Magna Carta before eventually losing out by about two lengths.
They both carried 54 ki-los then, but this time Tensile Strength will carry a handicap weight which is three kilos lighter than that of Magna Carta. The more potent variable perhaps is that Magna Carta and Tensile Strength will be diving for the lead at probably about the same time Cinderella Kid and the an-ticipated back-markers will be
making their respective moves, making
posi-
tioning crucial.
A simultaneous charge can spoil timing and give the advantage to a front runner but the Santa Ana Park’s long homestretch is an equalizer which favors come-from-behind runners like Chevrome.

Special Maiden Race, 3YO Open1,300 meters / 14 April,
San Lazaro Leisure ParkSix 3YO local-bred runners were
declared, and the favorites were colt Royal Storm and fillies Caraga Weather and Arriba Amor. The rest of the field were deemed to have slight chances – Quaker’s Hill, Pugad Lawin, Deo Volente.
To everyone’s surprise, Deo Vo-lente took the lead at the first turn under the guidance of jockey Patty Dilema. Fans feared she would lose steam at the far turn or home-stretch, as frontrunners often do.
But the Joseph Dyhengco-owned and Anthony Francisco-trained filly clung grimly to the lead, besting Royal Storm by a neck. Arriba Amor was third, eight lengths away, and Caraga Weather fourth. Total time was 1:23.6 (7-24.4-24.6-27.6).
Special Maiden Race, 3YO Open1,200 meters / 19 May,
Santa Ana ParkIt rained heavily that just before
the third race, a wall of water turning the track sloppy but firm and reducing visibility to almost zero. Consequently, the races were delayed until the rain eased.
The wet track proved no hin-drance to Aristeo Puyat’s power-house filly Water Shed (Master Class x Wooded), who ran wire-to-wire to beat third pick Miss Mala-pia by a nose.
Heavy favorite Heart Summer showed no speed and settled for third, while longshot Machine Gun Mama came in fourth to cause havoc in the quartet.
With a total time of 1:12.8 (24’-22-26), Water Shed, ridden by Rodeo Fernandez and trained by Johnny Sordan, marks herself as one to watch.
caused him to lose ground and al-low the front-running Pantukan to maintain a slight edge until the finish line.
Although a photo-finish was de-clared, the outcome was inevitable and the Floirendo family’s Pantu-kan was declared the winner by the MJC Board of Stewards. Time for the race was 1:28.6 (12’-24-24’-27). Leonor placed third, Divine Eagle fourth.
Special Maiden Race, 2YO Open1,300 meters / 22 September,
San Lazaro Leisure ParkAlta’s Finest was sent off as the
favorite. The colt owned by RJ S. Moran paced along in third for most of the race, allowing Princess Kenny and Able Minister to forge ahead.
Steered by Rodeo Fernandez, Alta’s Finest moved up at the 3/8 to take the lead and won by five lengths, over second placer Right Direction, with Garnet settling for third.
Special Maiden Race, 2YO Open1,200 meters / 13 October,
Santa Ana ParkMandaluyong Mayor Benhur
Abalos’s colt Bumpy Ride outclassed his eight opponents in this race by posting a seven-length win with regular Abalos stable rider Kelvin Abobo in the saddle.
The duo outlasted second pick Angel of Mine, the frontrunner for most of the race. Guided by Pat Dilema, the Kenneth Causon-owned Angel of Mine did not finish in the money.
Sent off as the outstanding favor-ite, Bumpy Ride turned in a time of 1:14.4 (24’-23’-24).
Antonio de Ubago’s Mrs. Tea-pot placed second, Jade Brothers Farm’s Pocket Power in third and lawyer Sixto Esquivias IV’s Niagara Boogie fourth.
PCSO 78th Anniversary Race1,200 meters / 14 October,
Santa Ana ParkTop favorite Leonidez Might won
by 1-1/4 lengths over five others. The Rene Virata-owned filly guided by Mark Alvarez and trained by Nestor Manalang checked in at
1:16.2 (25-24-27.2).Lawyer Narciso Morales’s Tar-
zan came in second, followed by lawmaker Jeci Lapus’s Minotaur in third, and Manny Santos’s Mi Esperanza fourth.
PCSO 78th Anniversary Race1,600 meters / 21 October, San
Lazaro Leisure ParkA mere second choice beat two
hard-charging frontrunners to dominate this race, a benefit event for the Philippine Sportswriters As-sociation.
The race was led by close third choice Arvindugo (PCSO 2012 Free-dom Cup winner) and top pick Si Señor, running against each other neck and neck for most of the race, while Pleasantly Perfect conserved his energy six lengths behind.
Steered by star jockey Jonathan Hernandez, Pleasantly Perfect made his move at the far turn and easily passed the flagging frontrun-ners down the stretch.
The bay colt sired by Interro-gate out of Passing on Passion and owned by Divina Dy clocked 1:41.8 to win by a length.
Si Señor came in second, Purple Ribbon third, and Arvindugo fourth and last.
PCSO 78th Anniversary Race1,400 meters / 21 October, San
Lazaro Leisure ParkAlso held that day was another
PCSO Anniversary race, this one for the benefit of Pugad Lawin charity foundation.
Coincidentally, the race was won by the outstanding favorite also named Pugad Lawin (Refuse to Bend x Unstoppable Lady).
The colt owned by Antonio V. Tan Jr. carried the heaviest handi-cap weight - 58 kilograms – com-pared to the five other runners, a
disadvantage of four kilos against two others carrying the next heavi-est weight of 54 kgs.
Despite this, the Jesse Guce-rid-den Pugad Lawin won wire-to-wire, posting a time of 1:29.2. The other placers were, in order of arrival: Madam Theresa, Quaker’s Hill, and Pinay Beauty.
Special Maiden Race, 2YO Open1,300 meters / 17 November,
San Lazaro Leisure ParkFifteen juveniles were entered
into this race, one more than can be accommodated inside a starting gate. They were divided into two groups that ran over 1,400 meters.
One trial race was won by Cat’s Silver, steered by jockey Jonathan Hernandez, timing 1:29.8. Mistah, guided by Antonio Alcasid Jr., won the other trial, clocking 1:32.8.
As expected, Mayor Abalos’s Cat’s Silver dominated the sales and likewise the race itself, grab-bing the lead as early as the first bend. Her speedy legs chewed up the track with long strides under double-wrapped reins to win by five over placers Haring Benedict and Mistah. The time was 1:28.4 (12’-24-24’-27’).
* The last PCSO Special Maiden Race of the year is a 1,300-meter 2YO Open on December 15 at San Lazaro Leisure Park.

Santa Ana ParkThe son of a champion scored
over the trial race winner in this outing.
Jockey Jeffrey Bacaycay steered lawyer Sixto Esquivias IV’s Boss Jaden to victory, relegating to second place Herminio Esguerra’s Super Whaaa, who won the July 3 trial. SC Stockfarm’s Boss Jay came in third.
Esguerra still went home with a trophy – the coveted breeder’s prize – for having come up with the ser-endipitous cross that produced Boss Jaden on his Herma Farm & Stud ranch in Lipa, Batangas.
Boss Jaden is out of the brood-mare Tereshkova and was sired by Esguerra’s champion Real Spicy. A hot property during his rac-ing years, this horse by American champion Real Quiet out of Spicy Tale garnered practically all the available stakes honors – 3rd leg Triple Crown 2005, PCSO Presiden-tial Gold Cup 2006; PCSO Silver Cup 2006 and 2008; and many other prestigious races.
Real Spicy also holds time records, coincidentally tied with another noted stayer, Mandaluyong mayor Benhur Abalos’s Ibarra: in the 1,750 meters, 1:48, and in the 2,050 meters (the longest race dis-tance in the country), 2:09.
Special Maiden Race, 2YO Open 1,300 meters / 11 August,
San Lazaro Leisure ParkTop choice Pantukan and second
pick Sky Dragon battled neck-and-neck for the win in this race.
Sky Dragon’s rider, Antonio Alcasid Jr., is known for his come-from-behind tactical skill and used this to good advantage in the race. However, crowding at the far turn

mettle here by winning wire-to-wire over a band of other talented 3YO.
The entry owned by Divina Dy showed class by grabbing the lead right out of the gate. Blank Check paced behind in second, Power Fac-tor in third, with the others were strung out behind them like cars behind a train.
Batangas Fighter won by four lengths over Power Factor with a time of 1:14’ (24’-23’-26’). Statu-esque placed third, Esprit de Corps fourth, then Blank Check and Classy Jeune (who also came in last during the trial race). Jockeys of the Aug 11 2YO Open

Francis Lim’s Yes Pogi, winner of the 2011 MARHO Cup Classic last November, was sent off as the favorite in the mile race. Barkley, another stellar champion, was third pick. Lawyer Sixto Esquvias IV’s entries - colt Arvindugo, coupled with filly Cheese Mosa (winner of the previous week’s Philracom Amethyst II stakes) - were sent off as second choices.
An early scratch was Wind Turbulence. Joshua’s Laughter was scratched at the gate after he reared inside his stall while waiting for The Rock to be led inside. Jockey John Alvin Guce, on Joshua’s Laughter, was injured slightly but was deemed unfit to ride after the incident, leading to the scratching.
At the jumpout, speedy racemare Heaven Sent (winner of the 2011 MARHO Sprint), took the lead, while Arvindugo paced comfortably behind in second.
The son of Quaker Ridge by Reprise took the lead before the far turn and never looked back,
winning by three-and-a-half lengths.
Nathaniel Velasco’s The Rock made a brave rally and came in second, followed by Mayor Benhur Abalos’s Barkley in third and Emmanuel King Jr.’s Money Queen rounding up the cast of placers.
Race quarters were 25’-23’-23’-27 for a total time of 1:39.6.
Present at the awarding ceremony were PCSO GM Jose Ferdinand Rojas II, Philippine Racing Commission chairman Angel L. Castaño Jr. and executive director Jesus Cantos, and Philippine Racing Club executive vice-president and COO lawyer Ramon P. Ereñeta Jr. They were accompanied by other PCSO, Philracom, and PRC officials.
Congratulations to the winning connections of Arvindugo – the owner, Atty. Esquivias, and trainer Renato Yamco, jockey Jonathan Hernandez, and breeder Eric Tagle.

Sent off as the outstanding favorite, it was practically a wire-to-wire win for the half-brother of another Abalos Stable champion, Ibarra. Into the final meters of the race, the reins were still double-wrapped around the hands of jockey Jonathan Hernandez, who merely gave a slight flick of the whip close to the wire to cement the win.
Stablemate Barkley took second place, a one-two finish in prize money for the owner. Darleb came in third, Purple Ribbon fourth.
RACE RESULtS
Trained by Ruben Tupas, Hagdang Bato clocked 1:37.8 (25’-23’-23’-25) demolishing the 2007 record of 1:38 for the mile forged by the late Jose Mari Franco’s island-born Copper Dew.
It is a triumph for a local-bred to have set a record for that highly-competitive distance. The 3YO colt was sired by Herma Farm’s stallion Quaker Ridge out of Mayor Abalos’s broodmare Fire Down Under; Hagdang Bato was therefore bred by Abalos (because the mare belongs to
him, with the stud services contracted).
Hagdang Bato also won the November 25 San Miguel Beer-MARHO (Metropolitan Association of Racehorse Owners) Colt Mile, also at Santa Ana Park, posting a time of 1:43.6 (26’-25-24’-27’) over a slow track.
The feisty bay colt is so far at the head of his 3YO class, and also dominated his juvenile batch. He enters this year’s PCSO Gold Cup fray in excellent condition.
Hagdang Bato Sets Record in PCSO Derby!
It was a foregone conclusion. A baby in the womb would
have had no doubt that 2012 triple Crown champion hagdang Bato would win the August 19 PCSO National Grand Derby.
The only question was, how and by far would he win?
Hagdang Bato, owned by Mandaluyong mayor Benhur C. Abalos, added to his considerable achievements by winning the mile PCSO Derby by six lengths at Santa Ana Park.

Among the PCSO’s many programs are the Individual Medical Assistance Program
(IMAP), Institutional Financial Assistance Program (IFAP), ambulance and mobile clinic donation, and disaster and calamity response programs.
The PCSO also administers special programs. One such initiative is the Tahan-Tahanan halfway home for pediatric cancer, chronic illness, and organ transplant patients who live outside of Metro Manila.

Aling Ising
JANuARY 1961, Priscilla de Guzman (now 73 years old), or Aling Ising as everybody
knows her, started her career selling Sweepstakes tickets. Inspired by the way her Kumareng Dionisia earned her living by selling tickets in Mercury, Bambang, and Sta. Cruz, Manila area, Aling Ising then asked her assistance to become a Sweepstakes ticket agent herself.
the unsung heroes of PCSO Words and Photos by DARCY GERONIMO
narrates her story with teary eyes.During those days a sweepstake vendor can
manage to sell 10 to 15 booklets a day, enough earnings to have a healthy and decent life in the city. It was during those times when Aling Ising was able to buy a TV set and other household needs, including a tukador, which until now serves as a beautiful remembrance of those blessed years.
Aling Ising had the first taste of a winning client in 1975 when she sold a ticket in San Lazaro to a professional jockey who won the P3
Aling Ising (Priscilla de Guzman)
Aling Ising’s husband left their home in an early stage of their marriage, leaving her with four kids and a not so comfortable life, forcing her to find a living for them to survive the daily requirements of a family living at the center of the city.

Saturnina Corong (75), residing at Project 4, Quezon City, started selling Sweepstakes
tickets in 1968. Back then, there was nothing much about selling a sweepstakes ticket; for her it was just a past-time, until her husband, who was a truck driver, died in 1981 after having a massive cardiac arrest, leaving behind seven children (two of them died afterward of chickenpox). this sudden incident forced her to make a major adjustment for her and her remaining kids.

Just like Aling Ising, Aling Nina was also instrumental in making someone a millionaire. She managed to issue the lucky ticket worth P3.5 million to a teacher of a kindergarten school in Kalibo, Aklan. “I consider myself a winner too. I am very happy making someone an instant millionaire, I am part of this win!” as she happily recalls it.

He said that aside from the pain, rotten teeth and other tooth problems can lead to abscess, severe headaches, throat infections, stomach problems, and worse, even heart problems.
“Abscess is one of the most critical forms of infection when it comes to teeth. It is the collection of pus, otherwise known as nana, which is formed in a cavity. The pus eventually seeks a way out and usually ends up going to critical organs; in many cases, the heart, “ Dr, Guerrero said.
“Signs of redness, swelling, and pains are symptoms of abscess and once these symptoms begin to occur it is advisable to go for a dental check up before any further complications can occur, ” he also pointed out.

distributors Zuellig, Metro Drug, and United Laboratories will make their medicines available at 20% less than market prices.
PCSO, in turn, assures suppliers repayment within 45 days. The previous repayment time had been six months.
This accomplishment came about after PCSO, wanting to expand assistance to more patients, performed a review of the relevant existing processes. After streamlining and creating more efficient management procedures and timelines, PCSO succeeded in reducing processing time to only 45 days.
This made it feasible for suppliers to reduce prices by 20%, allowing PCSO to use more funds to assist more people in dire need of medical assistance, Chairperson Juico said.
Dr. Larry Cedro, PCSO Fund Allocation department manager, said that the charity agency is covered by an P80-million credit line with the country’s major pharmaceutical distributors. The elimination of processing layers and imposition of timelines for present procedures have cleared an important path towards the more efficient provision of medical assistance.
