NDB LENS MAN PLACED 3RD AT PNG PHOTO CONTEST: Julius D. Mariveles
Negros Daily Bulletin photojournalist Owen S. Bayog clinched the third top honors in the recently-concluded Philippine National Games photo contest co-sponsored with the Negros Press Club.
“It was a moving, inspiring sight for me to see people who are physically-challenged doing their best in sports,” he said in describing his entry which shows three paralympic runners in the 200-meter race.
Bayog was the lone photographer during the event taken at the Panaad Park and Stadium where the athletics competition were being held.
The NDB lensman, who has been shooting for the paper for more than two years now, said dedication is key to a great shot.
“I waited for four hours for this; the opportunity finally presented itself,” he added.
Bayog’s entry was adjudged third among more than a 100 images of Manila and local photojournalists that were judged last May 29 at the Grand Regal Hotel in Bacolod City.
NPC President John Elmer Ubaldo and several officials of the Philippine Sports Commission were among the members of the board of judges
He came in second after Tom Guevarra who shoots for a Manila tabloid.
Coming in first was also a Bacoleño, Ronnie Baldonado.

MAVERICKS SNATCH GAME 2 By: Owen S. Bayog
Dirk Nowitzki led the Dallas Mavericks the best comeback in NBA history closing the game with a 22-5 run. Miami's Wade, James and Bosh were non existent in the final 6:22 of the 4th quarter. Heat fans hearts were torn apart as Dallas came up strong before regulation.
Game 2 is the result of the Mavs resolute offense while poor decision making hound the Heat's Big 3 which bring the series tied to 1-1.
The best NBA Finals will surely be on Game 3.

WORKERS DISMAYED OVER P12 ECOLA by: Owen S. Bayog
Negros Panay Alliance of Labor (NPAL) met with members of the media to vent out their sentiments over the P12 Emergency Cost of Living Allowance ruled out by the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB). Workers from various labor unions were dismayed over the recent development and are pushing for P30-P40 increase instead of P12.
Minimum wage for Central Visayas is P285 for Class A towns, P265 for Class B towns, P255 for Class C towns and P240 for Class D towns. Central Visayas has between 85,000 to 100,000 workers. Alan Gozon, of DALO, Hernani Braza (Nacusip), Randy Ronquillo and Winnie Sancho of the Negros Labor Coalition led the press conference along with member unions calling for the scrapping of the latest P12 Ecola to workers.
Sancho says the present increase does not suffice the call of the workers for wage hikes as prices of oil and prime commodities has gone up and so must the wages. Leaders of the group tore down a symbolic RTWPB wage order to illustrate their disgust of the government’s answer to the plight of the workers in the country.#OSB
