All the businessmen I know are mostly pro-RH. Why bec. It's economically sound eh. Why is he distancing himself from the mining issue, coz he is pro-mining. And alam nyo ba pag mayroon mining operations ang isang bansa, grabe ang itataas nyan sa financial markets.
It all sounds good coz Money,Money more Money, and eliminating the useless people of society like the starving children and the future poor.
but this tycoon is not respectable in my standards, alam nyo kung sino respectable si Buffet, he gave all his money away, shied away from investment banks and yet kahit anong tapon nya sa pera nya, money goes back to him and still one of the world's richest man.
Buffet knows that it's not all about money but something else ...
Oh well, Ateneo is pure money naman talaga just like my alma mater in Taft, pero I'm happy that the Jesuits did not give in to this so-called tycoon, yun mga La Salian brothers namin pwede pa siguro mabili ni MVP, eh Mga amerkano yun eh

If Ateneo folds, then it's simply being wishy washy. They were already pushed into going anti-RH by a bishop, then they'll be pushed the other way by MVP? A lose-lose situation.
I don't think there is any other potential alumnus/patron out there with the resources, both material and financial, to replace MVP.
I hope this does not bring the Blue Eagles back to the sporting dark ages of the 90's.
After Ateneo, will MVP throw support behind UP?
After Ateneo, will MVP throw support behind UP? | InterAKTVAfter recently parting ways with Ateneo, businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan seems likely to throw his support behind the University of the Philippines, whose basketball team needs a major overhaul to reclaim its old status as contender in the UAAP.
“Mukhang yun ang direction,” said former PBA coach Bo Perasol, the man who was supposed to succeed Norman Black as mentor of the five-peat champion Blue Eagles but decided not to pursue it following Pangilinan’s parting of ways with Ateneo due to differences on several matters outside of basketball.
With Pangilinan’s backing, the Blue Eagles have won six championships in the last 10 years.
(InterAKTV is part of InterAksyon.com, the news site of TV5, which is chaired by Pangilinan.)
But while the possibility of Pangilinan supporting UP gets bigger, Perasol said he would rather help UP coach Ricky Dandan come up with a program for the Fighting Maroons, who have struggled to produce wins in the past few seasons, than to replace the mentor.
“If ever I will be asked to join the UP basketball team, I will help out Ricky in the program. I don’t want him to be displaced there,” said Perasol. “Kung titingnan mo, wala talagang materyales yung team, so we have to strengthen the lineup.”
Talks about Pangilinan shifting his support to the state university grew when the sports patron guested in the 50th anniversary of the school’s Alpha Sigma fraternity.
Aside from that, some of Pangilinan’s associates are also graduates of UP, including PBA vice-chairman Mon Segismundo of Meralco, and Patrick Gregorio, Talk ‘N Text’s representative to the PBA Board.
The Meralco executive, though, currently has no idea whether the sports patron is going to support UP next after bankrolling the basketball program of Ateneo the previous years.
“It started when MVP guested in the Alpha Sigma anniversary. If you consider it as a way of supporting the school, that’s a fact. But if you will ask me about whether MVP will support the basketball program, then that’s another thing. This is something na magandang abangan na karugtong after MVP decided to part ways with Ateneo,” said Segismundo.
Although he’s an alumnus of UP, Segismundo said he isn’t trying to influence Pangilinan to support UP.
“I have friends in a lot of schools. Kaibigan namin ang La Salle, Ateneo, Don Bosco, and even Lyceum.”
kawawa din naman ang UP kelangan nila ng isang katulad ni MVP
Walang religious idealism yung UP to run counter sa mga companies ni MVP.
ah but i don't think it would be religious ideals that would be an issue someday if ever mvp decides to fully support the up basketall team - it would be the usual idealistic concepts pertaining to environmental rights, consumer rights, political colors and all those other "romantic" notions a lot of the people of the diliman republic espouse. and i don't think the up peeps would be as discreet as the jesuits when push comes to shove
besides, like i mentioned in the other thread, there are intriguing whispers which uaap member school the mvp group will park a big chunk of their money. and it's not in the diliman republic (where he's giving a "token" sum to the university) but somewhere right smack in the streets of maynila
He could come here. I could use a new MB in exchange for giving him a basketball team.![]()
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
THE Ateneo will not fold, they have been expecting this fallout for quite some time now...remember don't forget the "THE".
