<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines - Not so fast Blue Eagles! The De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers derailed their archrivals’ automatic trip to the UAAP Season 80 men's basketball  finals and avoided a sweep as they handed Ateneo its only loss in the tournament, 79-72 on Sunday, November 12, 2017 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGp75j4FCaEgQy1f6WEsFlPpKq34u7cZK4TsPqBZf7VqSYQXqJ7hJC_-l0xWBBzwmqLIN8DqQ-Mh1OCaylR-SjOoHEHWpmUmKAK8mD4A5iS6hZ4UzVQDa8DwHswYp8KD5_48GItYZXsE4s/s1600/uaap-la-salle-ateneo.JPG" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="UAAP: La Salle cuts Ateneo’s automatic finals trip" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="397" data-original-width="636" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGp75j4FCaEgQy1f6WEsFlPpKq34u7cZK4TsPqBZf7VqSYQXqJ7hJC_-l0xWBBzwmqLIN8DqQ-Mh1OCaylR-SjOoHEHWpmUmKAK8mD4A5iS6hZ4UzVQDa8DwHswYp8KD5_48GItYZXsE4s/s1600/uaap-la-salle-ateneo.JPG" title="UAAP: La Salle cuts Ateneo’s automatic finals trip" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Monster numbers for Ben Mbala 28 points, 18 rebounds, 6 blocks and 6 steals.

Both teams were separated by just a half-shot, 76-75 in favor of the Katipunan-based, Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) Blue Eagles.<br /><br />Since the season opened, the Blue Eagles remained unbeaten. Today, the defending champions, the Green Archers tried to break the ice to prevent their arch nemesis in taking the automatic finals spot.<br /><br />The Green Archers opened the scoreboard and kept the Blue Eagles scoreless for the 1st 3 minutes.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Midway of the 1st, the game was tied at 7-all. But Ateneo got too unlucky after its biggest player, Chibueze Ikeh was whistled for his 2nd personal foul. Backup big man Isaac Go checked in for Ikeh and  promptly scored under the basket against La Salle’s Ben Mbala.<br /><br />Another problem came up for Coach Tab Baldwin as streak shooter Jollo Go started to heat up from the rainbow country. Timely explosion of Matt Nieto from all angles of the floor provided much-needed help for Ateneo as they kept the advantage after the opening quarter, 22-17.<br /><br />Coach Aldin Ayo didn’t like the smaller Ateneo taking the lead as the first ended so he went for his big guns Ben Mbala and Abu Tratter as his starters for the 2nd period to turn the momentum to La Salle’s side.<br /><br />Coach Ayo’s decision to bring in his howitzers paid off as the Archers dominated the boards and gave Mbala 8 quick points off offensive rebounds. Despite La Salle’s full control of the shaded lane, Coach Baldwin didn’t bother to sub in Chibueze Ikeh as his 2nd string center played very well offensively.<br /><br />Without a big defender, basketball looked too easy for the Cameroon National player Ben Mbala. Mbala’s onslaught gave way for La Salle to catch up and tie the game at 30-all with over 3 minutes left in the half. Mbala however sustained a bad fall after a rebound battle but signaled that he was ok and continued to play.<br /><br />Ricci Rivero’s three pointer totally grabbed the lead from the Eagles and turnovers started to pile up for Coach Tab Baldwin and his boys. Chibueze Ikeh checked back in to stop the surging Ben Mbala. Ike’s presence didn’t make any difference for Ateneo as La Salle wrapped up the 1st half with the 37-35 lead.<br /><br />As the 3rd quarter started, Ben Mbala continued to punish Ateneo under the rim. Along with that, Chibueze Ikeh sustained his 4th personal foul and immediately relegated to the bench to preserve his last foul. <br /><br />Thirdy Ravena sensed that his team was in real deep trouble, so he stepped up and managed to retake the lead from the Archers. Ravena even sized up against Ben Mbala and duped the Cameroonian in one play. Ravena outwit Mbala on the three point lane and and got fouled. The King Eagle sank all his foul shots to widen their lead.<br /><br />Ateneo has totally regained full control of the game with the help of Matt Nieto and Jolo Mendoza. Raffy Verano somehow contained and slowed down the monster Mbala as the Eagles finished the third quarter with a 9-point, 63-54 lead.<br /><br />Blue Eagles hit the dozen lead as Chris Porter sank a trey but the Archers countered with a quick 4 points as the final quarter unfolded.<br /><br />The Archers made an 8-0 run to bring the lead down to just 2. Isaac Go unleashed a ring-less trey to extinguish the waxing hot hands of La Salle and bring Ateneo’s lead to 5 again.<br /><br />Ben Mbala was simply unstoppable in this game. With 5 more minutes left in the game, he had already posted 26 points, 18 rebounds, 5 steals and 5 blocks. With his efforts, La Salle just trailed Ateneo by 2 points.<br /><br />At the 2-minute warning, Ateneo was protecting a 5-point thin lead. La Salle started to applied pressure defense and forced Ateneo to commit turnovers that they converted them into valuable points. <br /><br />With 1:21 remaining, the Green Archers were able to bring the lead down to just 1.  Kib Montalbo’s floater gave La Salle the advantage with 40 ticks left in the game clock.<br /><br />Ateneo had the chance to win the game with 12 seconds remaining. Isaac Go took the shot from the inbound but missed. Go then intentionally fouled Ricci Rivero to stop the clock. Rivero completed the foul shots for a 3-point lead, 79-76 and closed the eliminations with a win.<br /><br />Ateneo, despite the loss, will still cling onto the top spot and will face FEU Tamaraws in the semifinals that will start on November 18. La Salle on the other hand, will face the Adamson Falcons.<br /><br /><b>— Joey Boy Capos, The Summit Express</b></div>

Were these premonitions of Hashtag Franco’s untimely death?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines - Hashtag Franco Hernandez’s <b><a href="http://pinoybuzz.blogkorner.com/2017/11/hashtag-member-franco-hernandez-dies-accident.html" rel="nofollow">untimely death due to a drowning accident</a></b> on Saturday, November 11 had left netizens grieving and mourning. Several fans and close friends of the young star speculated on some premonitions he had posted on social media.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpBrRWfUFrq4ytzOHN_GWXztP-hVazjYZxzR6e2QK_2LH9q9k6yrajPnkK_XjmpiwtKOZbmyrjlJcKpJJctDtmADzhGLL0A8Kjj76F_LwRh3di5HaDx6jTVFcE9diJq4RL2zdp3RRVgmvl/s1600/hashtag-fraco-death.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt=" premonitions of Hashtag Franco’s untimely death" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpBrRWfUFrq4ytzOHN_GWXztP-hVazjYZxzR6e2QK_2LH9q9k6yrajPnkK_XjmpiwtKOZbmyrjlJcKpJJctDtmADzhGLL0A8Kjj76F_LwRh3di5HaDx6jTVFcE9diJq4RL2zdp3RRVgmvl/s1600/hashtag-fraco-death.jpg" title=" premonitions of Hashtag Franco’s untimely death" /></a></div><br />We’ve listed down a few clues that may have hinted towards the tragic death of the young man only at 21 years old.<br /><br />1. In the first photo posted by his fellow Hashtag Don shows the group in an embrace. But mysteriously, he noted that Franco is the only one who seems to be looking elsewhere. Netizens were quick to point out that it looks like Franco’s “last and final look” before bidding farewell to the rest of his group.<br /><br /><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><div dir="ltr" lang="en">In this photo posted by <a href="https://twitter.com/Hashtag_DonJon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow">@Hashtag_DonJon</a> on FB just now, <a href="https://twitter.com/Hashtag_Franco?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow">@Hashtag_Franco</a> is the only one of the group whose gaze is directed elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/8xPEcn11Tp" rel="nofollow">pic.twitter.com/8xPEcn11Tp</a></div>— Julian Mauricio (@JulianMauricio) <a href="https://twitter.com/JulianMauricio/status/929370884216840192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow">November 11, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></center><br />2. In the second shot, Franco who is at the center, is the only one who is not holding on to the rest of the group. The netizens also couldn’t help but think that the photo looks like the Hashtags are sending their friend off on his final journey.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br /><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en"><div dir="ltr" lang="tl">Parang nag paalam lang sya sa first picture, tapos nauna nauna na sya dito sa second picture 😭💔 <a href="https://t.co/os5f8NCmwx" rel="nofollow">pic.twitter.com/os5f8NCmwx</a></div>— lola (@mariaveodeza) <a href="https://twitter.com/mariaveodeza/status/929421708477345792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow">November 11, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></center><br />3. Netizens also had “goosebumps” at this photo of Franco in his Facebook account. The photo may not look unusual at first except that this just taken a few weeks before his death and even had the eerie caption, “It’s about time.” This seems to allude that Franco’s “time” in this world is almost up.<br /><br /><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><div dir="ltr" lang="en">Hashtag Franco's unexpected death. I checked at his recent photosin FB and this gave me goosebumps.

Another one by Mace Dy also pointed out Franco’s Instagram description of himself. He quoted, “Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.” Netizens also couldn’t help but be shocked at what seems to be Franco’s anticipation of leading a “short life.”<br /><br /><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en"><div dir="ltr" lang="en">Words are too powerful.

Even on his Instagram, his last two photos seem to lead to his final farewell. His photo capturing the clouds aboard a plane seem to associate to our image of “final resting place” and “heaven.”<br /><br /><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-version="7" style="background: #fff; border-radius: 3px; border: 0; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.5) , 0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: 99.375%;"><div style="padding: 8px;"><div style="background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"><div style="background: url(data:image/png; display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;"></div></div><div style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BbRs6UlhUO_/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">A post shared by Franco Miguel Hernandez (@hashtag_franco)</a> on <time datetime="2017-11-09T13:43:25+00:00" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;">Nov 9, 2017 at 5:43am PST</time></div></div></blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script></center><br />6. His very last photo on Instagram shows a photo of his hand capturing a catfish. He captioned it, “catch that catfish.” Netizens also think that this is in reference to him being “caught” among the many and chosen to part ways from the rest of us. <br /><br /><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-version="7" style="background: #fff; border-radius: 3px; border: 0; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.5) , 0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: 99.375%;"><div style="padding: 8px;"><div style="background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"><div style="background: url(data:image/png; display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;"></div></div><div style="margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BbRtab6BClW/" rel="nofollow" style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Catch that catfish</a></div><div style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;">A post shared by Franco Miguel Hernandez (@hashtag_franco) on <time datetime="2017-11-09T13:47:48+00:00" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;">Nov 9, 2017 at 5:47am PST</time></div></div></blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script></center><br />7. The last one is from Franco’s girlfriend, Nam Floresca who was with him at the time of the accident. She posted on her Instagram the last video they shared just before the were aboard the boat. Nam said that Franco was telling her something so she was in a hurry to video it but, Franco only said “Sorry.” It was a bitter apology and farewell to his love. <br /><br /><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-version="7" style="background: #fff; border-radius: 3px; border: 0; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.5) , 0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: 99.375%;"><div style="padding: 8px;"><div style="background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 62.5% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"><div style="background: url(data:image/png; display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;"></div></div><div style="margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BbYNnM6FqUo/" rel="nofollow" style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Eto yung last video natin yung araw na papunta na tayo sa bangka at nangyari ung accident hindi ko alam parang magmmessage ka sakin kaya sabi ko "wait lang ivvideo ko" ang sabi mo dyan "sorry" pero hindi mo tinuloy bakit naman ganon mahal ang unfair unfair mo naman mahal ko sabi mo sakin you want to make more memories with me.

Photo Credit: Inquirer.net</td></tr></tbody></table>The last time that Lyceum Pirates and San Beda Red Lions faced each other, 40 minutes of game time wasn’t enough and they needed 10 more minutes to settle the score. After 2 overtimes, the Pirates swept the elimination rounds and claimed the automatic finals berth.<br /><br />Today, the 18-0 record of Lyceum was reset as they stand toe-to-toe against the fierce Red Lions for the Championship.<br /><br />The Pirates placed themselves in the attack mode as early as the game clock ticked. Led by shooting guard Jeff Santos, Lyceum got ahead of San Beda by 5. The combo of Robert Bolick and Davon Potts however, provided a decent run for the Lions to close the margin.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />At the 2:50 mark of the first, newly crowned MVP CJ Perez drove hard to the basket but landed awkwardly on the floor and seemed to twist his ankle. Coach Topex Robinson immediately called the timeout to attend to the ailing MVP. But Perez slowly stood up and shook his foot.<br /><br />San Beda Center Donald Tanqoua flexed his muscled hard to initiate his team’s 8-2 run and snatched the lead from Lyceum as the 1st quarter ended. 22-21 in favor of the Mendiola-based squad.<br /><br />CJ Perez started the second on the bench but Lyceum still managed to regain the lead as Team Captain Jesper Ayaay and the Marcelino Twins took charge offensively. Ran Tongco however, countered and signaled the seesaw battle.<br /><br />Midway of the 2nd period, the Pirates widened their lead to a double-digit for the first time. But AC Soberano was too prompt to react and slashed the margin back to a single-digit.<br /><br />Lyceum wrapped-up the first half with a 5-point, 50-45 advantage with CJ Perez leading his team with 10 points.<br /><br />Turnovers were the key difference in the game. San Beda inadvertently committed 15 turnovers against Lyceum’s only 6. The Pirates capitalized on the Lions’ errors and converted them to 20 points.<br /><br />As the Pirates started the second half, the Marcelino twins charged and led the onslaught and posted a dozen point lead with barely 2 minutes gone by.<br /><br />San Beda made another scoring blitz and closed in with Lyceum. All of a sudden, the Pirates were forcing their shots and started to miss and transferred the momentum to their opponents. The Red Lions turned the tides, 61-60 with 3 more minutes left in the 3rd quarter.<br /><br />Lyceum barely caught up as both teams ended the penultimate quarter in a tie and the first deadlock of the game, 64-all.<br /><br />Jayvee Mocon unfolded the 4th quarter with a sure ball trey followed by Robert Bolick’s drive for an instant 5-point lead.<br /><br />The game got more interesting as CJ Perez unleashed 8 quick points for another deadlock, 72-all. <br /><br />Jayvee Mocon and Robert Bolick protected their lead as the 2-minute warning was announced. San Beda Red Lions possessed a 5-point lead under a minute remaining in the game clock.<br /><br />Robert Bolick dropped a dagger 2-pointer as the Red Lions secured a 7-point advantage with 30 more ticks left.<br /><br />Lyceum didn’t want to go down without a gallant fight and still managed to score 5 quick point in less than 10 seconds. San Beda however, was up by 2 shots with exactly 20 seconds remaining in the ballgame.<br /><br />“King Lion” Robert Bolick split his charities to add a point to the Red Lions lead while Davon Potts completed his foul shots to seal the game number 1, 94-87. <br /><br />Bolick came alive in the 4th quarter and finished the game with 24 points to win the Best Player of the game.<br /><br />The Pirates will be marching onto Game number 2 with their back against the wall while defending champions Red Lions will try to finish the series off on November 16 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.<br /><br /><b>— Joey Boy Capos, The Summit Express</b></div>

WATCH: $1,000 iPhone X easily gets cracked in just one drop

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines - Apple’s iPhone X (iPhone 10) has officially been released at least in the US, UK and other parts of Asia and Europe last weekend. Tech mavens and early adopters camped out at various Apple stores just to have the first dibs on the the company’s most high-end smartphone. But the question is, can the $1,000 phone survive the normal wear and tear and petty accidents?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIjKu86Ji5rq7KllD_smi2MIDoaisXMOPd9PbuOIeTmf38j880Fp_olYR2wJ6Lj8CceLv2yDa9tyBE0XqgMSFQ7_BjBoU7jGpMN1Bal0G6ucmiQQ1KfsM8T84k23bRaA6VtnVVa4cLN-PO/s1600/iPhone-X-drop-test.JPG" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt=" $1,000 iPhone X easily gets cracked in just one drop" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="683" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIjKu86Ji5rq7KllD_smi2MIDoaisXMOPd9PbuOIeTmf38j880Fp_olYR2wJ6Lj8CceLv2yDa9tyBE0XqgMSFQ7_BjBoU7jGpMN1Bal0G6ucmiQQ1KfsM8T84k23bRaA6VtnVVa4cLN-PO/s1600/iPhone-X-drop-test.JPG" title=" $1,000 iPhone X easily gets cracked in just one drop" /></a></div><br />The tech geeks from CNET, an online tech website who specializes in gadget reviews subjected the hyped-up iPhone X to different scratch and drop tests. The result? Well, it’s not good at all and it’s cringy.<br /><br /><b>RELATED STORY</b><br /><a href="http://pinoybuzz.blogkorner.com/2017/11/thieves-steal-php20M-worth-of-iphone-x.html" rel="nofollow">Thieves steal Php 20M worth of iPhone X in broad daylight</a><br /><br />The experts started with the scratch test using the tip of the key to simulate the normal and usual contact of sharp and edgy objects with any phone when it’s inside the pocket, bag or purse. The reviewer applied too much pressure on the phone’s screen with the key and... congratulations! It didn’t get scratched. She then used a sandpaper which obviously a bad idea. Different result as the key’s, it got visible scratch marks on it. Who would keep a sandpaper inside his pockets anyways?<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />CNET folks then proceeded to the drop tests. They set the 3 feet height limit to illustrate the normal scenario of pulling out a phone from one’s pocket and accidentally slips and drops it. First drop test was backside down and it sustained obvious damage. Poor guinea pig. <br /><br />The last test, they dropped it screen side down and voila! The screen suffered another vicious hit and instantly cracked! The good news though: despite the massive intentional blows, the iPhone X is still working!<br /><br /><b>Watch how the tech geeks torture the $1,000 iPhone X (Credit: CNET.com):</b><br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xWTEFCkCuSk" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />The tech gurus however didn’t try to drop it from a two-storey building like what other experts did to the old and new Nokia 3310s. Surely, everyone who’ll see iPhone X falls from a rooftop will certainly have a heart attack.<br /><br />After the tests, experts do suggest the buyers to invest into hard cases as well to prolong the lifespan of the thousand-dollar smartphone which is additional revenue for Apple and other gadget companies. How clever right?<br /><br />iPhone X will not be available here in the Philippines this year. Globe and Smart are both prioritizing the local release of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8s which is set to be delivered to their valued clients on November 17.<br /><br />Sellers from the grey market however, are importing the iPhone X before the holidays come. But the catch is, they are doubling the US and UK SRP or Php 90,000. <br /><br />How about you? Are you willing to subject your Php 90,000 iPhone to scratch and drop tests?

She said, <i>“Alam ko hindi lalaban ang asawa ko. Alam ko gusto niyang bumalik sa pamilya niya. Alam ko ang iniisip niya paano siya makaaalis sa ‘yo para makauwi sa amin.”</i><br /><br />Even, Maquidato’s mother couldn’t stop her anguish and confronted the man who killed her beloved son.

Pagsisisihan mo nang habambuhay ang ginawa mo,” the very emotional mother cried.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the PNP recovered Maquidato's car in Tarlac.<br /><br />Chief Dela Rosa already suggested that Delemios be subjected to a drug test. <br /><br />Delemios was arrested on Tuesday, November 7 at his home in Pasay City. The key to the arrest was when his lived-in partner went and confessed to the authorities that her phone was used to book the slain Grab driver.<br /><br />It was also found out that Delemios has a standing arrest warrant for a homicide back in 2015. Delemios killed a certain  Gino Balbuena after a petty fight during a basketball game.
