Ever tried the blood dipping sauce (pig's blood cooked in vinegar) ?

Ilocos norte's bagnet taste better, I think....

i think that's similar to dinuguan.

Not really, the dinuguan (chocolate meat) is another thing, It's just pig's blood and vinegar and it's good on pork barbecue and bagnet. Dinuguan goes with the puto (rice cake, a specialty of Calasiao, Pangasinan, which I think is the best).

Maybe, we should start a thread regarding filipino food delicacies?

I can see that there are a lot of Ilocanos here.

Why not ?, by any chance let's promote the best of Filipino cuisine. (just to assure the world that we don't have a food shortage only rice according to GMA) Other than basketball, we all share the same passion for great food. Don't you salivate when we someone talk about great tasting Filipino food ?

Don't you eat balut ?

That's great!

Maybe, you could post some recipes here from Canada?
Anyways, let's get back to basketball.

Well said ankle breaker.
Please create a thread in the United Nations subforum if you want to keep talking about delicacies. Any further posts on the issue here will be deleted.

Okay, I think I should restart the festivities. Hmmm, how can coach Franz coach these boys while setting up the final roster for the Green Archers. Might I note that the twelve players who played during the FilOIl-Flying V Preseason Invitational wouldn't be the final roster since we didn't see Bader Malabes, Marko Batricevic, and Ferdinand in the roster.

Yes, but barring injuries and last minute surprises the DLSU team for the upcoming UAAP is set except for 1 or 2 positions. The team lost T@ng, Villanueva, Co and Ilad from last years team. The replacement will come from this group: Webb, Revilla, Villanueva, Bagatsing, Noble and Sorela. If OJ Cua decides to give up his spot or is beaten out by the rookies then that leaves one rookie to be demoted to team B. There is still the lingering question about Maui's eligibility and the possible health of Marko. If the ACL is not fully healed and he becomes of no help to the team and Maui is eligible to play then coach Franz may substitute one of the rookies for Marko.

The same problem exists in ADMU. The first 13 or 14 position on varsity are already spoken for. It is the last spot that must be decided by the coaching staff.

Hope Ateneo loses this season

They have all the rookies that should be playing in the RP youth team..I don't know if it's their decision not to play or the school won't let them play because Franz Pumaren might scout them out..guys like Buenafe and Salva are shoe ins for the RPYT.On a lighter side, I hope the RPYT could get to play with other youth teams in Europe or South America,I don't care if they get beat up I just want them to get the experience of playing with real foreign competitors.

Well, talent will overwhelm the squad. Like the before AdMU-laden Magnolia Beveage Masters, AdMU might have a problem on putting all players in the floor.

[ankle breaker]

My Idea of the RPYT's scoring

Having 4 or 5 scorers on the team wouldn't hurt 'em at all, they just have to spread the points so the opposition will just keep on guessing.Having a main man would be very predictable..My Idea is having atleast 3 guys score 20 or even 30 points while the others are just right with double digits..a point guard must know his jobe by spreading the points thru his assists.You may put it like this..the point guard will have atleast more than 10 points then the 2 guard will have atleast 20 and so is the small forward..the 4 and 5 will have their fair share by points thru put backs and low post plays..It would also help if you have 2 or 3 of your bench players score double digits.(3 players in double doubles would be great)
