Ginebra vs Rain or Shine quaterfinals game shown in bad reception, PBA fans uproar

Did Solar Entertainment just commit its third foul on Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) coverage?

Last year, a P3-million fine was slapped to Solar Entertainment after failing to air several portions of the game between Meralco and Talk N Text. Just this year as well, the media company was fined of P3Million anew since it failed to show the game between Powerade and Alaska live.

Another problem which may result to another penalty happened during the coverage of the PBA quarterfinals match between Ginebra and Rain or Shine.

Viewers from Mega Manila voiced out their disappointment after experiencing bad reception on most parts of the game. Via Twitter the following PBA fans aired their displeasure on the poor reception:

Patricia Bermudez and Vince Hizon Wedding Proposal Video

In celebration of the love month, let me share to you one of the most memorable wedding proposals witnessed on live television.

On June 8, 2003 during a half-time break of a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) game, courtside-reporter Patricia Bermudez was delivering her spiel when she heard her boyfriend PBA player Vince Hizon's voice on the microphone. A few moments after, Hizon went down on his knees saying, “Will you make me the happiest man in the world and be Mrs. Vince Hizon?”

The video of it was recently uploaded on Youtube which gained more than 50 thousand hits after 2-3 days.

Here is the Patricia Bermudez and Vince Hizon Wedding Proposal Video

Paolo Hubalde, Vice Ganda's New Love Interest on Showtime | Paolo Hubalde Pictures

The openly gay resident judge of the talent/variety show Showtime on ABS-CBN, Vice Ganda can't help but to go gaga since they have a new guest judge who is a certified stud. The hunky judge who is also a basketball player is no other than Paolo Hubalde.

Born on January 24, 1981, Paolo Hubalde plays for the Barako Bulls in PBA. He is Derick Hubalde's brother who is a famous model and a UAAP basketball player before (and equally sexy I should say).

Since the "Burado" portion of the show is to come where two of the four celebrity guest judges get to be evicted, Vice Ganda appealed to his fans not to vote off Paolo.

"Ikamamatay ko talaga 'pag natanggal siya," Vice told SNN last night.

Although it is obvious how Vice is crazy with Paolo on TV, he also tweeted on his Twitter account the following:

"Di ko kinaya ang abs ni Paolo. Nalowbat ako! Inubos nya ang energy ako."

"Nakakaadik ang amoy ng shorts nya!"

I know it is just all part of making the show fun and I doubt Vice is even serious about it since Paolo admitted he got a wife already.

Here are some more pictures of Paolo Hubalde:
