Pinay cricket team’s December match vs. Indons threatened by air ticket woes

Posted on 17 September 2019 No comments
Without air tickets, all the preparations will be for naught.

The Philippines’ first and only foreign-based women’s cricket team is scheduled to meet the Indonesian national women’s squadron in Dasmarinas City, Cavite in a qualifying match in late December for the Cricket World Cup.

But the first international game of the SCC Divas has more than worried the team than excited it, as the problem of financing their air tickets could sabotage their trip if they can’t find a kind-hearted sponsor.

Call us!

Josie Arimas, founder and captain of the Divas, who were champions in the Cricket Hong Kong Women’s Development League for the past two seasons, said her team was invited by the Philippine Cricket Association to play in the T20 tournament at home.

Arimas said the PCA manager has pledged to shoulder the Divas players’ accommodation and food while they are in Dasmariñas.

“Na-rattle ako, baka di ko makumpleto ang ticket namin, ang iba meron na,” Arimas said.
To try crowd-funding, she is planning to post on Facebook an appeal for donations in order to be able to collect enough funds for the team’s air fare to Manila.

She said she can’t hazard going to the   match with just the players who already have tickets because it’s the strong cricketers in her team who happen to have no tickets.

Call now!

“Need ko kasi ang mga strong players. Kung lawlaw wala din, di ba? Kung maiwan ang mga strong batter ay wala kaming ilalaban. Apat lang kasing taga-Manila ang medyo okay maglaro,” Arimas said.

Divas players, who are mainly recruits from the OFW baseball, softball and volleyball teams in Hong Kong, mostly come from the Visayas and Northern Luzon provinces.

DH convicted of ill-treatment, but not of sexual abuse of ward

Vivo's lawyer says he plans to appeal the verdict, saying
the magistrate had been 'selective' in his decision 
A Filipina domestic worker was found guilty in Kowloon City Court on Thursday, Sept 12, of two charges of ill-treating her boy ward but was acquitted of another count of ill-treatment and two charges of indecently assaulting the now 11-year-old.

The 51-year-old defendant, Angela Vivo, was immediately taken into custody following the verdict. Magistrate Raymond Wong set down the sentencing on Sept 26 to consider a background report on Vivo that defense lawyer Phil Chau requested.

But the magistrate turned down Chau’s request for a report on the impact of the whole episode on the victim, identified only as “X.”
The magistrate convicted Vivo on the first and third charges of “assault or ill-treatment of those in charge of a child”, saying the prosecution had proven her guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

In the first charge, Vivo, who had taken care of X since he was three years old, was found to have pulled the boy’s hair so hard in July 2016 that his scalp was injured.

The victim’s father noticed X’s scalp was bleeding the day after the assault, as he was shampooing his son’s hair after a swimming class. The father took a photo of the injury and sent it to Vivo’s recruitment agent.

In the other assault, Vivo was found guilty of pinching X so strongly in his left arm that the body was left with a “very painful” bruise. The incident on Dec 7, 2018.

In her evidence, Vivo said the injury resulted from her grabbing the boy’s upper arm to save him from being hit by a big truck near the Mong Kok fire station. She said X ran on the road after his mother refused to buy him a toy.

But Wong rejected her claim, noting that Vivo’s grasp on the boy must have been so powerful it left fingernail marks on his arm
But Vivo was acquitted of a third assault charge which stemmed from the boy’s claim that the maid had hit his arm when he accidentally stepped on her toes.

The magistrate also acquitted the helper on the two charges of indecent assault, in which the boy accused him of touching his penis each time she washed him daily for two years until September 2018. But he gave no reason for his decision.
The boy’s mother told the court she reported the alleged indecent assaults a day after Vivo left for Manila on Sept 9 that year to take care of her sick mother for two months.

The boy’s mother, in reply to Chau’s question during cross examination why she reported those alleged indecent assaults to police only after the maid had left, said a Labour Tribunal “judge” told her to do so after she mentioned the issue in a claims hearing.

During the trial, Chau questioned the motive of Vivo’s employers, noting that at the time they made the allegations against their maid, she had filed a claim at the Tribunal for long service pay from her employers.

Chau said outside court he was planning to appeal the verdicts because the magistrate had been very selective in considering the evidence. But he said he would wait until after the sentencing.

Pinoy tourist says US$500b 'gold certificates' for Marcos charity

Posted on No comments

By Vir B. Lumicao

Defendant told the court Marcos himself
gave the gold certificates to him
A Filipino tourist accused of trying to pass off US$500 billion worth of fake gold certificates as genuine claimed he brought the documents to Hong Kong to verify the authenticity of the documents, according to the prosecution.

David Morano Jr pleaded not guilty to a charge of “using a false instrument” before District Court Judge David Dufton on Monday, Sept 16.

Prosecutor Frederic Whitehouse said Morano was arrested on Oct 29 last year while trying to transact business at HSBC headquarters in Central using the spurious gold certificates.

The defendant claimed the certificates and other documents seized from him came from a foundation linked to the late Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos, set up for humanitarian projects.
The documents were a receipt for US$500 billion gold certificates in the name of Morano issued by “Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Corp.” on Jun 12, 1983, four HSBC cards bearing his name and 12 documents certifying he owns the gold certificates.

The first prosecution witness, a female manager at HSBC whose staff was first approached by Morano to present the certificates, said the defendant claimed he wanted to verify the authenticity of the documents. He allegedly said the certificates were given to him by Marcos so he could set up a humanitarian foundation.
The witness, Ms So, said among the documents Morano presented were certifications from Marcos, the United States and the United Nations that he was the owner of the US$500 billion gold certificates.

On cross-examination by defense counsel Mr Hemmings, So said she concluded that the gold certificates, on A4-size gold-coated document, were fake when she noticed that the bank’s name was printed as “Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Corp”.
She said the bank’s official name is Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corp.

The trial continues.
