Powerade vs Shopinas & Petron vs B-Meg




October 5, Wednesday
Cuneta Astrodome


As I entered the Cuneta Astrodome last Wednesday, I was eager to see how good the lighting was.  Yup, it was like they said it was - good.  But aside from that -- the general condition of the  place, the poor architectural layout, the clearance between the rows of chairs, not to mention their dilapidated condition, [one had to be a skinny 80 pounds, probably, to negotiate going to one's seat], the players' dugout, the parking area access, but most of all -- the semblance, if any, of proper security - for the players and for the patrons alike -- just plain HORRIBLE.  Ibang klase talaga.

But since I came there to photograph the match - the abundance of light was my foremost concern.

Here are some match photos from Powerade's win over Shopinas, and that of Petron's over B-Meg.


Powerade-98    Shopinas-87


Elmer Espiritu elevates and pumps.



Marcio Lassiter evades Espiritu.



Rudy Lingganay doesn't score that much, 6 points,
 but does a good job manning the point.



Gary David's 31 points makes him match MVP.




Petron-73    B-Meg-69



Rey Guevarra tries to go baseline.


Chris Lutz with a gutsy drive.



This is definitely not a shining moment for Arwind Santos.


Neither is this. [Arwind misses an unmolested shot]


[That's more like it, Arwind]
Santos blocks a Raymundo drive.



Danny Ildefonso outhustles Mark Barroca in this sequence.



Alex Cabagnot proves steady on the clutch, particularly in the 4th Quarter.
