Posted by cybermagic | 5/28/2006 03:56:00 PM

2-point margin that Aurora got from Celebrity players:

1st point... Persons with disabilities, indigenous people, youth, and women from Aurora now have funds for their training, support, and development. Also, initial funds for the establishment of Peoples Empowerment Center of Aurora were given.

2nd point...The people of Aurora were entertained by top male celebrities from Manila as they held a friendship game against selected players from our province headed by top scorer Cong. Sonny Angara.

Through the initiative of Gov. Bellaflor J. Angara-Castillo and the cooperation of different agencies, the Basketball: Aurorans & Celebrities event was generally successful and peaceful. With over 1,500 in attendance, the Dr. Juan C. Angara Sports complex rumbled as the celebrity players appeared in red uniform. They were Christopher De Leon, Tirso Cruz III, Bembol Roco, Rez Cortez, Nino Muhlach, Onyok Velasco, Carlos Morales, Dino Guevarra, Felix Roco and Anton Dela Paz.

Here are some snapshots of the event:


Most popular among the celebrities in Baler, no other than the Drama king himself Christopher De leon.

Nino Muhlach proved to be a true comedian when he delighted the crowd with lots of fun and comic antics.
I don't think Tirso Cruz III was trying to shake the complex but he definitely needed to stress out from long hours of travel just to make our kababayans happy.

Those who could not afford to buy tickets had a chance to meet the stars right by the windows. This photo shows Bembol Roco. He was with his son Felix Roco, an upcoming matinee idol.

Among the audience were Gov. Bellaflor J. Angara-Castillo, Vice Governor Annabelle C. Tangson, UA&P Vice President Bernardo M. Villegas, and foreign visitors.

End of the game with the final score 81-79 in favor of Aurorans.
