Gabriel Santisima stuns Japanese WBO champion in Tokyo

CEBU CITY, Philippines — Gabriel Santisima walked into Korakuen Hall as the underdog. Ten rounds later, he walked out of the boxing arena with a title and the Japanese boxing crowd sitting in stunned silence. On Saturday night, February 7, the 21-year-old Cebu-based Aroroy, Masbate native pulled off a career-defining upset. He outworked and outthought the highly rated Subaru Murata for a unanimous-decision victory to capture the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Asia Pacific super bantamweight title. When the scores were read, the normally raucous Tokyo venue fell eerily quiet. Judges Edward Ligas of Cebu and Mekin Sumon both had it 96-93, while Takeru Okinawa scored it wider at 97-92. The adjudicators all favored Santisima of the Cebu-based ZIP Sanman Boxing Gym where WBC world minimumweight champion Melvin Jerusalem belongs. From the opening bell, it was clear Santisima was not there to be another statistic to Murata’s unbeaten record.

148 stranded in Masbate, Bicol ports due to Opong—PCG

The Philippine Coast Guard said Sunday that 148 persons remain stranded in seaports in Bicol after the effects of Severe Tropical Storm Opong and the Southwest Monsoon.  In its Maritime Safety Advisory, the PCG said the 148 individuals are passengers, drivers and helpers who are in seven seaports: Masbate, Mobo, Mintac, Aroroy, San Pascual, Claveria and Cawayan.  In a Super Radyo dzBB interview, PCG spokesperson Captain Noemie Guiaro-Cayabyab said all of the passengers are in the island province Masbate which suffered the brunt of Opong. These included 62 rolling cargoes and 12 vessels in these ports.  Also taking shelter are 40 vessels and four motorbancas. Guirao-Cayabyab said the suspension of sea travel has been lifted but some seafarers, particularly those in small craft, have decided to stay in port due to the strong waves.
