DOWN THE LINE by Gem Beringuel
Pinoy Netters: Real COmmitment Did It
Conducting tennis tournaments is not an easy task. The bulk of responsibilities on the organizers was nonetheless conspicuously implied. What is making it more difficult is the added responsibility of doing it the proper way. A tennis tourney is really a gargantuan task especially if it borders on transparency. With the results of PNC/s previous tours, there's no doubt that it triumphed. It has made a headway in providing tennis playerss a better choice.
PNC's holding of tennis tour is just a bonus. It was not the main thrust of PNC as it has other concerns not only for the benefit of its tennis playing members but also underprivileged kababayans back in the Philippines. Our tournament's rallying point say it all: "Where the fun of playing is a means of sharing." Nabuo ito hindi lamang para mag-enjoy ang paglalaro ng tennis kundi ang makatulong sa kawanggawa.
PNC's first tournament, Pinoy's Doubles Tennis Challenge, last year was a huge success and this compelled the clique to follow it up with Pinoy Cup 2003, in celebration of the Philippine Independence Day. It was phenomenal.
As Albin Guinto has put it, and I reiterate, kapag gumawa ka ng isang bagay para sa kawanggawa, there should be no comparison, no competition. And this was one of the denominators, Albin, Edwin Peleo & I agreed when we discussed the rationale for the PNC's formation at the initial stages.
Some tennis playing members of PNC have already sacrificed their comfort and convenience especially precious times for their families. They have cast aside their personal interests for the sake of unity among PNC members.
Albin, Sarge Ricky Tamayosa, Bong Bueta and the rest of the guys who pulled this Pinoy Cup 2004 through really deserved the accolades they are getting now. They represented Pinoy Netters extremely well.
Many tennisters I met and talked with were one in saying, "sana tuloy-tuloy na ang pagko-conduct ninyo ng tournaments." Nakakataba ng puso because it's a pat on PNC's back. There's no doubt, PNC has now given all tennis enthusiasts the alternative of playing while at the same time helping and reaching out to others. It's now up for them to choose.

BEHIND MY RACKET! by Nony M. Adrineda
QUO VADIS, PINOY NETTERS?
The year 2003 was over and looking back to the humble beginning of Pinoy Netters Club102, it is safe to say that it was able to fulfill its missions and objectives in so short a time. This is attributable to the combined efforts and determination of its officers and members who sacrificed their comfort and time to make Pinoy Netters Club what it is today.
The Club was able to hold successful tournaments, help people in need and in distress, donate well-managed funds to Bantay Bata163. In doing this, the Club was able to gain the respect not only of its supporters, players and sponsors but other tennis circles as well.
With the advent of 2004, the Club has already instituted a minor tournament format shake-up. The Pinoy Cup, a competitive team event, has already concluded.
A special event will follow in May which may be a dual meet with other tennis clubs or fun games with willing tennis circles in residential compounds (any takers?!), followed by Pinoy Mabuhay Cup which is slated from June to August and to coincide with the Philippine Independence Day celebration.
The formation of teams in Pinoy Mabuhay Cup will be by a categorized drawing of lots (bunutan) unlike the previous one which was a semi-commercial competitive team event.
Another team tennis competition is slated from September to November with the format still to be decided by the tournament committee. Come December, the season when tennis tournaments usually experience a short hiatus, the singles knock-out competition will be the traditional filler tour to compete the year-round fun of playing and excitement!
We once again invite you to play and be a part of these momentous events and thereby continue to make Pinoy Netters Club 102 a fraternal icon of unity, commitment and character!
