Yesterday, May 4th, was the opening ceremony for the Filipino Tennis League at the Khalifa Stadium at 530pm but the game itself started at 6pm. Athletes from various sectors conglomerate after the speeches of the sponsors and some are doing their stretching. Families are bringing their own children and most of these kids have a great deal of time. Most of them are familiar about the lawn tennis sports having been a companion to their parents, uncles, aunties & other relatives.

When the proper games started everybody cheered at their own bet (of course their family!). It was really a sort of camaraderie in the spirits of the game.

Orient Express shut the colorful curtain of first invitational basketball league 2007 organized by the Pag-Iribang Bicolnon (PIBQ) by downing high energetic Midmac Contracting, 76-67, for a 2-0 record in the finals best of 3 held at the Mercury gym on May 11, 2007.

Orient Express, early favorites in the elimination round, got important convertion points from tandem Tonton Ravanes and Glenn Mariano with double extra efforts to score double figures 27 & 17 respectively to bring the team in an advantage in the third quarter.
