Survey Junior College Websites Sports
Below is a survey by Fil-Heritage Middle Distance Runner Jeff Paneda
The Survey is eight very quick questions.
Good day milers! I am a Fil heritage athlete that ran at CSU Sacramento in California. My best times were 1:49 in the 800 and 3:49 in the 1500. Currently, I am coaching track and cross country at CSU Long Beach in California and coaching a year at CSU Sacramento as well back in 2009.
I need to get as many people who attended a junior college to fill out this 5-10 minute survey, so I can make a track and cross country website for a junior college in California. This is the only thing standing in my way to get my master’s degree in sport management from CSU Long Beach in August. Your participation in this survey will be greatly appreciated. Here is the following link:

Seven Days in Romania
Airnel T. Abarra
The usual question that comes to someone’s mind is: Why Romania? What are you going to do there? There are always doubts when a Filipino goes for a journey in Europe which is not in France, Italy, UK, or Spain. Mostly people think of Europe is visiting places such as Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Leaning Tower of Pisa etc. but you will only encounter few Filipino travelers that already stepped in Piata Unirii, Piata Victorei and seen the Cities of Bucharest, Brasov, Iasi, and constanta. It is common thing to mistake Romania to Rome which is the capital of Italy. My experience for a week will give you a glimpse what is this European Country is all about and what it can offer to a lone traveler.
Day One: Arrival- I landed in Henri Coanda Airport in nearby city of Otopeni which is the major international airport in Romania. As compared with our NAIA, OTP is way better than NAIA but problems such as long lines in the immigration are expected. When I got my turn to face the officer, they asked for my intent to travel and good thing I brought the copy of invitation with me. So it is really a must to bring a copy of all of your travel documents with you.
After going circles in Piata Unirii which is the main square in Bucharest, I finally found the hostel where I am going to stay. The great thing in Bucharest is you can have practical ways on touring around the city. First is the free Guided Bucharest City Tour
http://guided-bucharest.com/free_tour.html
and riding the Bucharest City Tour Bus
http://bucharestcitytour.ratb.ro/
which costs 25 lei or around 6 Euros that will let you hop on and off the bus for one day in different tourist bus stops.
Good thing I got a friend that I met during a training course in Hong Kong last year which was Ioana. She joined me going around the old city center and explored around the University of Bucharest. Based on the photos, it can be seen how Bucharest was called as “Paris of the East” while it combines with socialist-realist type as seen in the massive Palace of the Parliament which is the second largest building in the world.
Streets of Bucharest near the University Square filled with neo-classical architecture.

Curious what’s inside the Ateneul Roman? Here it is.

Aside from Bucharest, I visited the city of Iasi which is located around 405 kilometers northeast of Bucharest. Catching the night train from Bucuresti Gara de Nord (Bucharest North Central Station) at 23:00 I arrived at around 05:00 the next day to explore the city known as the cultural capital of Romania. Although it rained for a long time, it never dampened my experience to see the sights of the city including the Palace of Culture and going around the GT Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Thanks to a Couchsurfing Iasi members Vera and Marian who take time with their busy schedule in joining me going around the city.

Still magnificent under restoration the Palatul Culturii (Palace of Culture) was once the palace of Moldavian kings and now the prime jewel of the city of Iasi.
Looking high at the equestrian statue of Stefan Cel Mare or King Stephen the Great which ruled Moldavia centuries ago.
On the last leg of my Romanian expedition and which is the most important part of the journey, I went to the city of Constanta which is the primary Black Sea port of Romania and where the Ovidius University Constanta which is the venue of the conference is located.
Me with Prof. Cecila Gevat which is the main organizer of the conference.

Striking a pose after my research oral presentation with the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport.
The serene waters of the Black Sea in Constanta are a sight to behold even at the window of the hotel.
My trip really shows that Romania is a country worth to be a land of choice for travelers. There may be some problems along the way such as getting directions etc. Still you can’t help but sometime to sit around at the city center and view its sights as it widens your perspective towards the world.

Run For Change Grass Roots, Interview with PSGDO Laguna Albert Abarquez (merged)
Revolution from the grassroots: Insights on the advocacy of RUN FOR CHANGE
By: Airnel T. Abarra
Participants of the athletics clinic powered by RUN FOR CHANGE. “L-R Jerby Deriada, Edgar Bardel, Ian delos Santos, Isidro del Prado, Jr, Mr. Albert Abarquez – Laguna Provincial Sports and Games Development Office Head, Karl Francisco, Christopher Ulboc, Jr, Joanne Lu, Provincial Board Member Neil Andrew Nocon, Atty. Eric Pasion, Jesson Ramil Cid, Emmanuel delos Angeles, and Coach Airnel Abarra (far right).
“Why go to Manila, if Manila can come to you”. This was the statement of Atty. Eric Pasion, of RUN FOR CHANGE (Run4change, Inc.) in their recently concluded Track and Field clinic held at the Laguna Sports Complex, Sta. Cruz, Laguna last November 11. The clinic allowed high school student-athletes from Del Remedio National High School, San Pablo City and selected athletes from the Division of Laguna meet, greet and train with the athletes supported by RUN FOR CHANGE. It was a start to their program of sharing their talents and demonstrating the latest training techniques they’ve learned down to the community level as part of their quest to support total grassroots development in Athletics.
RUN FOR CHANGE started as a student organization dedicated to supporting road runs in the University of the Philippines, Diliman by providing logistical support to race organizers. Eventually it evolved as one of the more established race organizers and event managers in the country with numerous successful road-racing events.

Tapping the resources and knowledge of well-seasoned university athletes and aided by the managerial skills of their core group, RUN FOR CHANGE not only organizes races but has now evolved into an organization that provides support to athletes competing at National and International competitions. Athletes belonging to their group were overall champions for the Men’s Division in the 2011 and 2012 Philippine National Games. Athletes from their selection team in turn represented the country overseas to participate in competitions such as the Hong Kong Inter-city Athletic Meet, the Singapore Open and most recently, in the Thailand Open. Most notable of their performances was that of Jesson Ramil Cid who captured the Gold for the Men’s Decathlon and almost broke the national record which was established in 2001. As early as now, the athletes of RUN FOR CHANGE are preparing to defend their title as the Men’s Overall Champion in the 2013 Philippine National Games which will be held in Lingayen, Pangasinan this May.

What sets RUN FOR CHANGE apart from other organizations is the fact that they are a non-profit organization. The proceeds of their racing events go into supporting athletes and providing assistance for grassroots development programs in different communities. “It is not enough that you are good. If you are good, you must share your talents with others.” says Atty. Pasion.
RUN FOR CHANGE believes that in order to strengthen the talent pool for track and field, young and aspiring athletes should be given a chance to be exposed to new and progressive training techniques and at the same time, coaches should also get the best education that can be offered. Opportunities to learn should always be at the forefront of development.
Prime movers- Atty. Eric Pasion and Joanne Lu of RUN FOR CHANGE strikes a pose during the Athletics Clinic
With their experience in Sta. Cruz, Laguna, RUN FOR CHANGE looks forward to engaging more communities in the future. They are looking into opening their doors and transforming this simple meet and greet / track and field clinic into an institutionalized program of support for grassroots development with proper coordination with local government units with the support of corporate sponsors. Through this, talent identification at the grassroots level will be much better, which in the long run, will strengthen the base of Philippine Athletics. If you want to help this kind of advocacy, you can contact RUN FOR CHANGE or send email to pinoyathletics@gmail.com.

Interview: Laguna Sports and Games Development Office (PSGDO) Head Albert Abarquez
Run for Change Athletes visited Laguna and helped train the local youngsters in athletics. None of this would have been possible without the assistance of Laguna Sports and Games office head Albert Abarquez. Pinoy athletics Writer Airnel T. Abarra caught up in this 18 minute video interview with Mr Abarquez.
In summary Mr Albert Abarquez is a very positive man who we can tell is very passionate about helping develop sports and athletics. Pinoyathletics.com appreciated his ‘Yes We Can Do It’ attitude instead of putting up obstacles and didn’t make up excuses about barriers he talked about what is being done to improve sports in Laguna and how it is going to be done.
Grass roots of provincial athletes and sports event is very important in the Philippines as we cannot evolve around a centralized only system as of now we are probably only developing less than 1% of our potential talent in athletics/track and field. In order to develop more talents we simply need more manpower. The evolving self sufficiency of provinces such as Laguna is contributing greatly to the development of sports in the Philippines.
Mr Abarquez shares the same positive vision as his friend and boss Governor E.R. Ejercito which is to make Laguna the sports development capital of the Philippines. This will help lead the way towards promoting the spirit of sports in the province which hugely contributes towards the development of athletics in the Philippines. Laguna is very keen and puts its hand up to host national and international games in the future in line with its vision of development of sports.
They are working on building a multi-purpose stadium and an athlete village. The athlete village will accommodate athletes for national and international games. They are also working on a convention center. The Laguna sports complex located close to the nations capital is only an hour away.
Laguna is looking at being a future source of National athletes. As of now Laguna excels in Swimming.
Working closely in co-operation with organizations such as PATAFA and recently Run for Change. Laguna housed the athletes and in exchange they helped share their knowledge with local youngsters.
Albert says the obstacles with athletics in Laguna is that athletes need to travel quite far from different parts of the province to get to the sports complex. Also alot of athletes are from poor families but do have a lot of determination to succeed in sports and in life. Some of these athletes even lack a coach.
Laguna is leading by example in terms of Sports Development. Mr Abarquez surely has a very bright future in his contributions to the development of Sports in the Philippines and is ideally the type of sports leader with his ‘WE CAN DO THAT’ attitude we need to help revive sports in the Philippines.

Call for New Writers
By Pirie Enzo
As I am based in Australia, Airnel Abarra will be arranging meetings with applicant authors, if outside Manila we can arrange a skype meeting.
Writers who are interested in writing articles for us please express intentions via email to pinoyathletics@gmail.com
.Firstly I would like to say when myself and Airnel Abarra founded ‘pinoyathletics’ which later became ‘pinoyathletics.com’ we had intended for this blog later website to become a website not just for the athletic community but also shared by the athletic community in terms of articles and opinions. For the last few months I had been producing the majority of the articles for this site. However this was a time consuming and lengthy process.
We did however gain a lot of contributing authors, quite notably US Coach Adarian Barr, NCAA Athlete Allyson Bodenbach and more recently Run4Change Founder Eric Pasion. While we did get a few offers by guest writers to write articles our niche is Firmly Track and Field news and anything relating to the sport. One of the goals of pinoyathletics.com is to produce quality articles by a variety of different authors.
It is now our mission over the next few months to meet with and recruit new authors for our website. This is a good initiative which I am in full support of as it will add variety to our website and boost the quality content of our articles.

September Report
Pirie Enzo
.
The Site did very well, in what was deemed a very quiet month in terms of Philippines Athletics to improve with about 500 more monthly visits. Pretty much even to the number of visits we had in August. This was good considering August was the month of the Olympic Games. Things are expected to pickup with a lot of major calendar meets starting including the Uni Games Oct 24-27 in Bacolod, around 30 athletes being sent to Thailand Nov 2-5, Weekly Relay Finals and UAAP in early December.
No updated news has been placed on the Philippine Nationals originally scheduled for second week of May then postponed to September and now being held in December. Who knows how this is even going to be feasible with in such close proximity to UAAP and Christmas?
.
Some notable milestones in September include
.
- A Record ’790′ views in a day on September 16. ’3142′ views in Week three with an average of 449 daily views.

August Report
Pirie Enzo
.
August was a very busy month for the team at pinoyathletics.com. With Airnel Abarra (kuyair) in Germany. It was a very busy yet rewarding second month of operation.
As you may have all noticed the blog is now registered as a domain. pinoyathletics is now pinoyathletics.com. Don’t fear however as you can still use pinoyathletics.wordpress.com if you have links as this will automatically redirect to pinoyathletics.com.
We had the buildup to the Olympic Games, The Olympic Games themselves, fortunately we had a huge back log of local athletics to fill as well as coverage of the Weekly Relays with are athlete of the week polls. Readers enjoyed reading about Rene Herrera, Marestella Torres, and Nash Nalus this month in local athletics.
Recently we have added a Legends of Track and Field section, currently we have articles on four legends in place. Olympic bronze medalists Simon Toribio and Miguel White too wonderfully written articles by fellow blogger Joboy Quintos (Hurdler49) and two articles I have compiled from various sources on Lydia De Vega Mercado and Mona Sulaiman. Stay tuned as next week we will write a feature on the late sprinter Enrique Bautista a superstar of Philippine Athletics during the 1960s.
As well as that I have also put in are archives sections SEA Games results in full for Athletics from 1977 to 1989 (excluding 1987).
I would like to take the time to thank as of recently Ignacio Dee (who was part of the research team which assisted the previous PATAFA Statistician the late Col. Constantino), Jad Adrian Washif (SEA Statistician) who is sending me photo copies of a very rare book of stats from 1974, and the Gintong Aloy Athletes for inviting me to there group as of recently. Also a special thank you to anyone who has contributed to the blogger and the readers.
Throwing Events Explained (with diagrams)
(source Australian Sunday Telegraph)
Statuette of Discus Thrower in Bronze this one was auctioning between $30,000-40,000 USD (Photo Credits: Felix De Weldon)
Three of the four throwing events been at the Olympics since its modern beginnings.
Discus, shotput, and hammer were among the field events included for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Javelin made its debut in London in 1908.
The sculptured bronze image of the ancient Greek discus thrower is one of the most regonisable in sport – not just olympic sport.
One of Greece’s most famous ancient works of art, the sculpture underlines how deeply discus and throwing events are woven into the history of the Olympic Games.When women began competing in Olympic Athletics at the 1928 Amsterdam Games, discus was the only throwing event open to them. Javelin followed in 1932, shotput in 1948 and hammer in 2000.
Their are four throwing disciplines for both men and women – discus, javelin, shotput and hammer.
.
The Competition
In all throwing events, athletes start with a qualifying round and get three attempts to achieve a qualifying distance. All who achieve the distance go through to the final and, if fewer than 12 reach qualifying standard, the top 12 go through.
Athletes have three initial throws in the final, with the top eight after the first three rounds then having a further three throws to determine the winner.
The first tie-breaker is the athletes’ second-best performance. If that doesn’t break the tie, their third best performances are compared and so on.
Judges can penalise an athlete for an “unreasonable” delay in throwing and disallow an attempt. The time limit is one minute.

Ensayo para sa kabataang atleta: Ano ba ang dapat?
Ensayo para sa kabataang atleta: Ano ba ang dapat?
Airnel T. Abarra*
Hangad ng bawat isang atleta na manalo. Walang makapapalit sa damdamin ng isang nagtatagumpay sa larangang kanyang kinabibilangan. Sa pag-aasam na manalo ng isang atleta o koponan sa larangan ng Athletics, malaking tanong pa rin kung paano ba dapat tingnan ang mithiin ng bawat isa. Dapat bang mag-asa-elite athlete kaagad sa murang edad o kaya ay hayaang makapaglaro ang isang atleta sa isport na kanyang nais? Layunin ng artikulong ito na magsimula ng pagtalakay kung ano ang dapat paiiraling programa ng mga coach sa pakikitungo nila sa mga batang atleta.
Papel ng guro o coach
Malaki ang impluwensiya ng uri ng pagtuturo ng coach sa kahandaan ng isang mag-aaral o manlalaro sa isang isport. Ang mga mag-aaral na binibigyan ng tamang pagpapahalaga ang kanilang ginagawa at may kaunting kalayaan (autonomy) sa mga aktibidad ay higit na mas mataas ang pagpapahalaga sa isport kaysa roon sa mga mag-aaral na binibigyan ng sobrang pagdiin o pressure (Goudas, 1994). Kung paiiralin ang tamang uri ng programa at pag-eensayo sa mga atleta, halimbawa sa mga kababaihan, mas magkakaroon sila ng mataas na tiwala sa sarili at pagganyak sa kanilang napiling laro (Henschen et al, 1992).
Espesyalisayon ng batang atleta: Tama o mali?
Madalas na paninwala ng mga Pilipino mas madaling hubugin ang isang tao habang bata pa ito. Kaya nga ito ay nasasalamin din sa oryentasyon sa isport ng isang kabataan. Marami ang pumipili lamang ng iisang isport kung saan sila magpapakadalubhasa. Kadalasan ito ay nasa impluwensya ng mga magulang o ng coach.
Sa pag-aaral ni Brenner (2007) may mga hindi kanais-nais na bunga ang pagkakaroon ng early specialization ng mga atleta sa iisang isport. Tinalakay niya ang tungkol sa malabis na paggamit at pag-eensayo na makapagdudulot ng pagkabagot (burn-out) sa isang batang atleta. Ipinaliwanag niya ang ilang konsepto gaya ng mga sumusunod:
Overuse injury- pagkasira o trauma ng buto, muscles o tendons dahil sa paulit-ulit na paggamit nito ng walang sapat na pahinga. Nagdudulot ito ng tendonitis o pagkasira ng mga tendons o mga gatil na nag-uugnay ng muscles sa mga buto.
Overtraining- Malabis na pag-eensayo sa isang atleta sa mahabang panahon. Minumungkahi ng American Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness na hindi dapat lalampas sa 5 beses sa isang linggo ang ensayo ng isang batang atleta.
Burn out syndrome- serye ng mga pagbabago sa katawan at isipan na nakapagdudulot ng paghina ng laro ng isang atleta.
Sa nabanggit na pag-aaral minumungkahi ng Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness ng American Academy of Pediatrics ang mga sumusunod:
- Hikayatin ang mga atleta na magkaroon ng pahinga ng 1-2 araw sa kanilang isport. Sa gayon makababawi ang kanilang katawan at isipan mula sa kanilang pag-eensayo.
- Hindi dapat tumaas ng 10 porseynto ang ipagagawang training programme sa isang atleta sa loob lamang ng isang linggo ng ensayo. (Halimbawa: pagdaragdag ng 1-2 kilometrong sa training na umaabot ng 10 kilometro kada linggo)
- Hikayatin ang atleta na pansamantalang sumubok ng ibang isport sa matapos ang 2-3 buwang pag-eensayo sa kanyang naunang larangan.
- Dapat ang ensayo ay maging kawili-wili, ligtas, nagtuturo ng bagong kasanayan at pagiging mabuting isport.
- Bigyan ng pagkakataon na sa iisang team lamang sumali ang isang atleta sa partikular serye o season.
- Maging alerto sa mga sinasabing sakit o injury ng atleta gayundin ang pagkawala ng interes sa pag-aaral. Bigyan ito ng sapat na atensyong medikal at akademiko sa lalong madaling panahon.
- Ipanukala na magkaroon ng sapat na medical team sa bawat tournament sa sasalihan ng ng atleta. Ituro sa mga atleta ang tamang pagtingin sa injury at iba pang karamdaman. Palagiang komunsulta sa doktor o dalubhasa sa medisina.
- Magkaroon ng panahon upang turuan ang mga coach, atleta pati ang kanilang mga magulang sa tamang nutrisyon, kaligtasan sa isport, at pag-iwas sa over training.
- Maging maingat sa pagpapalaro sa mga batang atleta upang makaiwas sila sa injury at bigyan rin ng payo ang kanilang mga magulang ukol dito.
Batay sa mga literaturang nabanggit, mahalagang malaman na ang pag-eensayo sa mga batang atleta ay isang maingat na bagay na dapat pinag-aaralan , sinurusri at pinag-iisipan. Hindi sapat ang mga naunang kaalaman o karanasan bilang katibayan kung ang isang guro o coach ay nasa tamang landas. Patuloy na nagbabago ang mga konsepto sa larangan ng Sports Science at Physical Education. Kung nais natin ng mahuhusay na manlalaro, simulan dapat ng bawat isa ang patuloy na pagbabago para sa kung ano ang tama at totoo.

This is an open letter to the POC Board and the PSC in response to the above article from the Philippine Journal
I would like to appeal after consulting members of the Philippines athletic community in regards to the inclusion of Bronze Medalists and above athletes in the SEA Games. As I have no experience with the other NSA Sports I just write in regards to Track and Field presenting reasoning for this sport. While other sports surely e deserve an equal chance a swell, I have no knowledge on these so will just be solely discussing Track and Field in this letter.
I do not wish to belittle or launch any attacks on anyone or any organization. I just am concerned with the future of the sports development program and the well-being of our National and future national athletes.
Upon reading the article I note that the concern is a lot of sports have been cut from the SEA Games calendar of 2013. However to my knowledge according to my sources who are in Track and Field management from other SEA Nations Track and Field will still be a full schedule of events.

Reasons for allowing Bronze Medalist qualifiers and above to participate
3. Their has been a serious improvement this year with performance from the NSA, with Three National records (a fourth one to be ratified), and Three Junior National records (a fourth one to be ratified) so far in 2013.
4. In a lot of cases athletes are showing commitment and determination to represent the country and make the SEA Games Bronze medal performance by paying for overseas trips to self fund a lot of these athletes are exhausting personal funds to do so. For some athletes this may not be a sustainable option.
5. In some events its possible the SEA Games Gold medal standard may have weakened, while undoubtedly in some events it may have grown stronger. This can be due to the Champion of an event retiring or declining in performance.
