San Sebastian Fails to Complete a turnaround comeback against San Beda

November 6, 2022

A Sunday afternoon these 2 schools in the second round of the NCAA Season 98 men’s basketball tournament at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. As first quarter erupted San Beda red lions took off and scored the lead and took the quarter by 10 points finishing the quarter 11-21, In the second quarter the story remained the same the San Sebastian stags tries to steal the lead but fall shorts in the end of the first half, Jb Bahio leading the Lions with 6 points and 6 rebounds.

Things get heated up in the 3rd quarter a lot of physical plays and questionable no-calls for the referees on both sides. The 3rd quarter highlighted the resiliency of the San Sebastian stags scoring evenly with the leading lions topping off the quarter 52-63. When 4th quarter emerges the flow of the game continued of trading baskets causing no change in the lead, however in the 8th minute mark San Sebastian pushed and forced a 9-0 run cutting down the Red lion’s lead to 4.

As the clock ran down as the plays got physical, a play on the 1:30 minute mark got so much attention, with a battle of rebounds players seemed to be committing fouls after fouls but the referee didn't blow the whistle until the 5th rebound.

While the red lions tried to cling on their 4-point lead with 30 seconds on the clock Altemerano of the San Sebastian Stags scored a quick 2-point and finishing the play with 21 seconds on the clock.

In the last seconds of the 4th quarter the San Sebastian stags forced a bad shot from the lions and when the stags got the rebound are Rafael ran a fast break for the clutch layup tying the score 76-76 forcing the overtime. Just as the Stags appeared to have a chance, the Red Lions regained control of the game in overtime thanks to JB Bahio and Peter Alfaro, who combined for 11 points and 16 rebounds and five points, six rebounds, and four assists. Kwekuteye, who finished with 14 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, split his free throws with 12.3 seconds left to give San Sebastian a three-point lead, 82-79, but Itchie Altamirano's triple from the left wing over Bahio's extended arms ended up being an airball. Damie Cuntapay had 16 points and four rebounds to lead the Lions, who improved to 9-4 overall, to their third straight victory. Tony Ynot had 13 points, six assists, and four rebounds.

Iba pala ang pakiramdam na makabalik muli sa itinuturi mong tahanan sa medyo matagal na panahon. Halo-halong pakiramdam ang bumalik sa akin sa muli kong pagtapak sa mga pasilyo ng SBU. Parang gusto ko silang kausapin isa-isa, kung kamusta ba sila, kung excited ba silang marenovate, kung handa ba sila sa pagbabagong nag-aabang para sa kanila. 

Iba rin pala ang pakiramdam na makuha mo ang iyong diploma---ang bunga ng iyong pinaghirapan. Ang sarap nitong pagmasdan. Para ko siyang baby. Inalagaan kong maigi sa pagcommute. Hindi ko hinayaang madumihan at malukot. Hindi ko rin pinahawak sa kahit na sino. 

Napakabilis ng panahon. Parang kailan lang ay tumatakbo pa ako sa may footbridge papasok ng gate dahil huli na ako sa klase. Parang kailan lang ay namomroblema pa kami ng mga kaibigan ko tungkol sa academics at extra-curricular activities. Parang kailan lang ay naiiyak ako sa pagod at lungkot dahil sabay-sabay nangyayari ang lahat. Parang kailan lang ay paulit-ulit kong sinasabi sa sarili ko na “Ayoko na, hindi na ako masaya.” Ngunit ngayon, isa na lamang siyang alaala. 

Nakakapanibagong pagmasdan ang Mendiola na walang masyadong estudyante. May lungkot na nananaig sa bawat hakbang ko papalabas ng gate sapagkat hindi na ako mag-aaral rito. Lilisanin ko na ang Maynila. Gayunpaman, haharapin ko na may kasamang tapang ang bagong yugtong paparating sa aking buhay. 

Being in law school is like.. ah.. hirap iexplain. 

First. It is an experience of a life time. 

Not everyone has the guts to enter law school. Be proud kasi yung pagpasa mo palang sa PhilSat and sa entrance exam ng school na papasukan mo is a big achievement. Every achievement counts hind ba?

Pero hindi ako nagtake ng PhilSat. hahahaha!! Shout out sa LEB for granting exemptions sa mga Laude graduates! <3 

But you can check the details of PhilSat in this website: https://www.cem-inc.org.ph/philsat/

Second. It is your nightmare. 

 Kung nung college ka eh sanay kang magising ng maaga at matulog ng umaga ,hindi pa rin sapat yun. To study law is to give up your life in order to achieve that ATTY extension sa name mo. Very inspiring ang mga taong kaya pa rin magkilay bago sila makapasok ng classroom. 

As a student, isa akong magaling na procrastinator kaya ngayon sobrang hirap ako mag-aral. I wake up at 10am and do my readings 4 hours before class. It’s not enough. Bali ang nagagawa ko lang sa apat na oras eh i-scan yung mga back logs* ko. (Back Logs- term yan sa mga assignment/cases/readings na hindi mo pa tapos basahin tapos may panibago na naman ibibigay yung prof mo. Hayup men.)

May vertigo ako so hindi ako pwede na magpuyat all the time or else mamamatay ako for a day and trust me, you miss a lot if you’re dead for even just an hour. Ang ginagawa ko is I plot my strengths and weaknesses. Mahina ako sa memorization but I have good recalling skills and medyo (mga 0.00000000000000000001%) eiditic memory so what I do is to connect in real life ang readings. There was this one case na ang taong involve is ka-apilido ko so I try to imagine myself as the respondent in order to recall facts and the rulings. 

Magaling ako sa Criminal Law pero bobo na ako sa lahat. Hindi ko alam. Sadyang mas nakatakda ata na maging kriminal ako kesa abogado, Civil Law is hard for me. Since first time ko talaga sya ma-encounter. So double the effort in this one. Cases help me a lot to understand the provisions. Books, uhm..so-so. Minsan sagabal lang sila. 

Wala kayong masyadong mapupulot na study tips sa akin because even I myself is having a hard time to study. hahahah! Ba’t ako nag blog??? Wala. Madami ako time eh. 

Third. Childish people. 

Punong-puno ang law school ng mga taong hindi mo alam paano sila pinalaki ng mga magulang nila. Yung iba kapaki-pakinabang yung iba ang sarap batuhin ng codal :D #nohatejustlove

The RKs. Eto yung mga anak mayaman na pag may sinabing libro yun prof mo eh matic after 5 minutes may copy na sila samantalang ikaw nakapila ka ng dalawang oras para makuha yun libro or nagstick ka nalang sa iligal na book copy kasi tig tatlong libo yun book 

The Panic Lords. Sila naman yung mga masarap batukan pag on deck sila or kapag biglang nalate yung prof tapos ina-assume nila na may quiz na kayo so ikaw naman mahahawa sa pag papanic nila.Mas marami pang time yung pagpanic kesa sa actual studying time.  

The LAWrds (lords). Tabihan mo sila besh. Mga matatalino at pinagpalang nilalang ang mga yan. Alam lahat. Parang kinain nila yung codal sobrang kabisa ultimo yung comma and period nung provision alam isulat. 

GossipGirls Law Edition. Sila naman yung mga classmates mo na kilala ang buong law community at wagas kung makakuha ng info! Beneficial at times except na lang pag ikaw na ang laman ng topic nila. Para silang PokeDex kasi may info sila sa lahat ng prof at kung paano ang style nila. Yung tipong nasa other class pa yung prof pero aware na sila anong provision ang dinidiscuss niya. Hayerp.

Fourth. Sulit ba?

Oo naman. Sulit ang law school! Mahal pero sulit. If dream mo talaga maging abogado, everything is worth it. Pero kung napadpad ka lang sa law school kasi akala mo kaya mo and dahil sabi ng lawyer mong tatay, aba mag-isip ka ulit besh. Kasi if you don’t like what you’re doing, you find everything hard.  You cannot love what you don’t find interesting. So mahalin mo lang ang lawschool.
