One unusual fact about Shenzhen is within few walks from the city's industrial area comes a protected bird sanctuary. Famously named as "Hongshulin" by locals, the bird sanctuary stretches over a kilometer, its a major hub for migratory birds. Beside it is another long stretch of park dedicated for bird watchers. The bird sanctuary is barricaded with mangroves and bringing a good telescope and a good telescopic lens for your camera is a must or else you will be staring dots on the seaside.

Philippines to send athletes to Shenzhen, China Universiade


THE PHILIPPINES is sending a lean but mean delegation to the 26th Summer Universiade to be held in Shenzhen, People’s Republic of China from August 12-23, 2011.

It marks the first time that the country will take part in the Universiade, an international university sporting event that is held every two years.

The Philippines will see action in eight sports disciplines, according to the Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP), the only local university sports organization that is officially recognized by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), the organizer of the Universiade and World University Games

The eight sports disciplines are: swimming, men’s basketball, table tennis, badminton, chess, archery, beach volleyball and athletics.

A Cebu all-star team composed of university players will represent the Philippines in the men’s basketball competition in the 26th Summer Universiade to be held in Shenzhen, China, in August.

The Sugbu squad will revolve around players from the University of Cebu, which topped the 2009 National Students Basketball Championship and the 2011 CESAFI tournament.

University of Cebu’s Roehl Gomez, who once played professional ball with Alaska in the Philippine Basketball Association, is the head coach of the Philippine team.

For the participation in the basketball competition, an athlete must have been born between Jan. 1, 1987 and Dec. 31, 1993

Serbia will defend its men’s basketball title in the Shenzhen Universiade. It played host to the 2009 Universiade and scored a 73-51 decision over Russia to claim the men’s basketball title.

The United States downed Israel, 91-80, to secure the bronze medal.

There are 24 countries competing in the men’s basketball competition of the 2011 Shenzhen Universiade.

Following the draw held last April 16, here is the composition of the four pools (or groups) in the men’s basketball competition:

Pool A -- China, Germany, Romania, Brazil, Czech Republic and United Arab Emirates;

Pool B -- Serbia, Turkey, Canada, Australia, Republic of South Africa and Hong Kong;

Pool C -- Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Japan, PHILIPPINES and New Zealand

Pool D -- United States, Israel, Finland, Korea, Hungary and Mexico.

More than 3,000 athletes, coaches and officials from a record-setting 188 countries are taking part in the Shenzhen Universiade, making this year the largest Universiade ever.

The first Summer Universiade was held in Turin, Italy, in August-September 1959.

A total of 1,407 athletes from 43 countries saw action in seven sports events that year.

Expectedly, host Italy collected the most number of gold medals with 18 and topped the overall medal list with 38 medals (18-10-10).

Long before Michael Jordan became a legendary player in the National Basketball Association, His Airness saw action with Team USA at the 1983 Universiade.

Jordan powered the Americans to a gold medal finish at the 1983 Universiade in Edmonton, Canada.

While a junior (his final year) at the University of North Carolina, Jordan gained a roster berth on the USA team that copped the gold medal during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. -- Marlon Bernardino

BIGGEST, OLDEST AND ONLY WARSHIP The Philippine Navy flagship BRP Humabon (PF 11) steams in formation during a naval exercise with US Navy warships in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) on March 14, 2010.

FALSE SENSE OF PARTRIOTISM (FALSOP Syndrome)

It amuses me. Below is a post that never went through. I've taken every steps (5 times) to post it and I realize Yahoo keeps blocking it for an enigmatic reason.




But luckily someone managed to post a good pundit. And its so calming to read.
