According to that site, they interviewed some people who said that the Filipino Champion (Pacquiao) is very curious in this online game. Manny played the game and became addicted to the point that he wanted to create or join a professional team in DOTA, they added. Clearly, this claim is lacking substance to be genuine.

Here we attached the screenshots of the article. This was composed of three paragraphs without any outbound links to where should be the sources located to make the information more reliable.

Again, the news about Manny Pacquiao joining a professional DOTA team is just another hoax event.

METRO MANILA -- A church wedding was taken into the advantage of the robbers who crashed in the event to steal money, but the wedding footage was recorded where the whole 'modus operandi' of the group was clearly exposed.

The wedding videographer captured the robbery scene and this looks like more of a movie scene. In the footage, two suspects acted as a look out while the other one was hustling the target victim taking advantage of the moment where the groom was kissing the bridge.

The girl suspect was clearly caught in the video throwing petals even when the petals ran out while sticking closely to the victim and wearing her smiling face while watching the newlyweds.

Another two suspects were working simultaneously where one used her blue jacket and the other girl in the front used her large handbag to cover the victim.

Once they made sure that the bag of the victim was well-covered, they immediately pulled a white paper from the bag with P30,000 cash inside of it.

Hindi ko na malayaman na...When we're about to fly na yung balloons, parang kinuyog nila ako towards one side. Tapos yung babae dito sa likod ko, ginanun niya (pinantakip) yung bolero nya para ma-cover yung bag ko naman na nandito na hinablot naman nung isa sa likod, said Rona.

Duration of the crime was less than 1 minute. Rona said that it was a planned robbery as she believed that she was already targeted inside the church because took out that white paper with cash inside during the offertory rites. She never thought that she would be victimized inside a sacred place like church.

Authorities said that this is a new style to steal, wearing uniforms of the church and crashing on weddings. There were no leads to the five suspects yet as per the police.

This photo now has over 7,100 shares and more than 20,000 likes as of writing.

Screen grabbed from Top Gear Philippines

According to the comments of one netizen who claimed that he had experiences working as a bus conductor in EDSA, there were under-the-table transactions between the bus drivers and MMDA traffic enforcers. According to him, except from that, there were also negotiations between the bus companies and the higher offices of MMDA.

These arrangements were made so that buses will have immunity against traffic offenses because traffic officers turned blind in exchange for some amount of money. According to him, bus drivers are safe from the violations for just P20 pesos.

Who's really to blame here?

What do you think of the move made by government about banning private vehicles in EDSA during rush hour?

PBA Legend "El Presidente" Ramon Fernandez slams Coach Chot Reyes for Gilas defeat in FIBA

MANILA – PBA legend Ramon Fernandez mostly known as the "El Presidente" blames national team coach Chot Reyes for thinking only about himself instead of the team. He said that Gilas Pilipinas would have been more successful in the FIBA World Cup.

El Presidente further explained that Coach Reyes was not focused enough to perform his coaching task in the national team causing Gilas Pilipinas experienced defeat after defeat in the international scene.

“Kung naging humble sana siya from the very beginning, hindi naging ganun ang reaction ng fans sa kanya eh. Kasi gusto nya sikat agad siya, yan ang nasa utak niya. Sarili lang niya ang iniisip niya eh,” said the PBA leged during his podcast interview with Snow Badua of Spin.ph.

Fernandez explained that one of the biggest mistakes Chot Reyes made was when it took him so long to decide to use both Andray Blatche and June Mar Fajardo on the field at the same time.

Coach Reyes made this decision during the game against Senegal and resulted to victory. But according to Fernandez, it was too late. He further said that, "“Isa lang nga ang pinanalo nya, no bearing game. What's the big fuss about it?”

“A case in point na sinasabi ko na hindi na-maximize ang naturalized player natin. Dun sa Puerto Rico... sa tingin mo si JJ Barea makakadrive ng ganun ganun na lang kung merong dalawang posteng malaki na nandyan si Fajardo at si Blatche sa ilalim?” the four-time PBA Most Valuable Player pointed out.

Reyes fielded both Blatche and Fajardo against Senegal and this translated to a win but came too late, he said.

“Kaya ako galit na galit. Naaawa ako sa player na for one na nakapagbigay ng serbisyo sa flag and country, blood, sweat and tears nila. Sinira lang niya, lalo na sa mga fans,” said Fernandez.

“Moral victories, close games doesn't mean a thing. bottom line: nanalo ka ba, natalo ka ba? ilan ang pinanalo mo?”--El Presidente, Ramon Fernandez
