 ANTIPOLO CITY, Philippines—If the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings say that the Smart-Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Fiesta Cup tournament belongs to them, it is only because nothing suggests otherwise.
Starting point guard Jay-Jay Helterbrand and import Chris Alexander on Friday night walked away with the tournament’s biggest individual accolades just minutes before the Gin Kings were to gun for a 2-0 lead against Air21 in their title series at the Ynares Center here.

 MANILA, Philippines – In the end, the team that wanted it more triumphed. Couple that with its invaluable experience and the Philippine Basketball Association’s most popular team also turned out to be its best.
In a championship series where momentum shifted back and forth, Barangay Ginebra ended Air21’s maiden-title aspirations Wednesday night, after it overcame injuries, a determined adversary and a tense, down-the-wire Game Seven.

 The amazing victory last Sunday of former World Pool champion Alex Pagulayan over world No. 1 Dennis Orcollo in an all-Filipino final in the Singapore leg of the 2008 Guinness 9-Ball Tour showed once more that the Philippines is set to regain billiards supremacy from rival Chinese Taipei.
Pagulayan’s triumph snapped Chinese Taipei’s string of successes in the Guinness Tour. Last year, Chinese Taipei players swept the six-leg tour and, this year, has won the first three (through Chang Jung-ling) before Pagulayan stopped the Taiwanese juggernaut.
In their one-on-one rivalry, the Philippines leads Chinese Taipei by the slimmest of margins, 13-12. No other Asian entry has ever won on the tour, which started in 2003.
