 5th Asian University Basketball Championship in Daet, Camarines Norte Province,
                             Bicol region, Philippines in July 2007

SANGMU of Korea emerged as champion; RP’S LOSS COULD BE ASIA ’S  GAIN? By Christopher "Bong" Castro
Sunday, 1 July 2007, 10:49
 

Despite all the stones hurled at him, Graham Lim still refused to fight back.  He decided to move on.  Well if Philippine basketball refuses to appreciate all he had done, he’ll just continue doing it for his own agenda – to pursue his dreams for Philippine basketball and his vision for Asian dominance.
            
Just recently, he got his appointment as part of the FIBA Youth Commission and took on the task as secretary general of the Asian Universities Basketball Federation (AUBF) now headed by new president, Korean basketball legend Shin Dong
Pa.

 
           
Even without support from the Philippine Sports Commission, Graham managed to stage a highly successful AUBF
Championship recently in Daet, Camarines Norte through the valuable help of government officials and private entities who still believed in him.

 
           
If the success of the AUBF were to be a gauge, Lim could be a big loss for the Philippines and a huge gain for Asian basketball.  

 
           
Lim was very thankful to the big support of Camarines Norte Governor Jesus “Atoy” Typoco and his constituents as host of the prestigious event as well as the major corporate support of Burlington as the official sock, VEGA as the official ball, the executive outfitters from Grand Sports of Thailand who provided referee and table officials’ new uniform image to make it colorful, a corporate like “Healthy Options” provide food supplement, Tanduay, Air-21 Express, Summit Mineral Water, Baker’s Fair, Fronte Motor and the official film - Fuji Film and YKL Color.

 
 
The Federation of School Sport Associations of the Philippines (FESSAP) through its president Tisha Abundo and Secretary General Prof. Robert Milton Calo was also a big factor in its huge success together with BAP President Go Teng Kok provided moral and logistic support, BAP Regional Director for Region 5 Dr. Abundio Palencia provided the manpower and the cooperation of the whole BAP-Bicol Chapter.

 
The closing ceremony was also attended by Congressman Renato Unico and Daet Mayor Elmer Panotes who also gave their share of support.  After the event, Lim pay a courtesy call to Bicolano Congressman Luis Villafuerte in Naga city to make the
final report and even had to join Villafuerte’s hectic motorcade schedule during the campaign period to relay the wonderful outcome of the said staging. 
 

The secret behind the success of the event was Lim’s hardwork and dedication going around the Bicol region to campaign for support and encouraging the other nearby provinces and municipalities all the way to Masbate to watch the 5th Asian University Basketball Championship in Daet.
 
 
Lim also expressed his gratitude for the trust and confidence of China, Korea and Indonesia in this endeavor led by basketball great  Mr. Shin Dong Pa of Korea who is the President of Asian University Basketball Federation (AUBF) and Korean-Filipino cultural director Park Hyun Mo, Madam Liu of China, Indonesian Ministry of Education thru Director Dr. Ekodjatmiko Sukarso and former FIBA President Dr. Carl Menky Ching known as the “Asia Basketball Man of the Century”,  who is the honorary chairman of Asian University Basketball Federation.

 
 
Sukarso, in his letter, even stated “We should have salute Mr. Graham Lim and company for their dedication and commitment in helping the AUSF through the five successful AUBF all held in the Philippines . And in vision of making the AUBF a much bigger event, Mr. Lim stepped down and took the post as Secretary General and gave the chairmanship to Korea ’s Mr. Shin Dong Pa with high hopes of expanding the AUBF in 2008.”

 
Sangmu of Korea emerged as champion after beating runner-up  Rizal Technological University (RTU), 106-85, in the finals held at the Agro Sports Center .  

Huaquiao University of China  ended the 2nd Runner-up while Bicol’s Best and University of Perpetual Help-Rizal (UPHR) wound up fourth and fifth.  Emilio Aguinaldo College was sixth. Putra Riau of Indonesia was seventh, University of Baguio was eighth while Jimei University of China ended ninth.

 

Lee Song Jun was voted Most Valuable Player of the week-long tournament and was joined by Ryan Regalado of RTU, Kim Sung Han and Le Song Jun of Korea, Joemar Punzalan of Bicol’s Best and Chee Li Wei of Huang Qiao in the Mythical Five.  

Kim Sung Han, also emerged the Finals Most Valuable Player.

          
Despite the loss, States’ Colleges Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) Champion’s RTU coach Loreto Tolentino said the Koreans weren’t that impregnable. “we can beat the Korean if we managed to maintain like playing in the first two quarters. The Korean really well prepared and managed to control our shooter. Besides, we really played badly in the last quarter.”
 
The Sportsmanship Award went to Jimei University of China , while Lee Hun Jae of Sangmu of Korea was named as the Best Coach. “I’m very happy over the success of the 5th AUBF Championship in Daet, Camarines Norte which also opened big doors to municipalities far away from Manila as equally successful hosts of such prestigious events,” said Lim. 

“We do things to reach beyond the heart of the provincial area.  We want to achieve things other can’t do, sharing our
contribution to the community to make our provincial brothers happy.  Thought it may be hard, but what really matters to us is giving them the chance to turn a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness an international event a reality,” he added.

 
Upcoming events that will be held after this championship are the National Junior Championship in Region IV, National Inter-Club Championship in Baguio City, Asian University Championship for Junior Men and 3 on 3 competition in August, National City League Championship and the National Basketball League from regional meets to be initiated and hosted by BAP Chairman Congressman Luis R. Villafuerte, Congressman Douglas Cagas, Mayor Mel Senen Sarmiento with other partners congressman in the House of Representatives and the Mayor’s City League of the Philippines.

CEBU CITY - Huaqiao University of China exacted revenge against its elimination-round tormentor, the University of the Visayas, Saturday night with an 82-76 victory over the Green Lancers in the finals of the Asian University Basketball Championship at the Cebu Coliseum.

Huaqiao, which earlier dropped a 67-63 decision to UV, got off to a slow start, surrendering the game's first five points and trailing by four, 11-7, in the early goings. However, the Fujian-based international school scored 14 consecutive points bridging the first and second quarters to take a 10-point lead, 21-11, on Malaysian student-playmaker Guganeswaran Batumalai's inside snipings.

UV came roaring back to deadlock the score at 23-all but Zhang Jiabin connected on a three-pointer as the Chinese regained the lead, 26-23, and ignited another 8-0 run to move ahead, 31-23.

Halftime score was 37-32 in favor of Huaqiao. 

The Chinese enjoyed their biggest lead, 68-55, midway through the fourth period. The Lancers trimmed the deficit to 74-71, on Cincoflores' three-point play at the 2:35 mark.

Successive baskets by Yu Xiang and Batumalai, gave Huaqiao a seven-point cushion, 78-71, and eventually sealed the outcome.

Huaqiao, which placed third in last year's AUBC competitions in Daet, Camarines Norte, had four players in double figures.

Yu Xiang totaled 19 points. Batumalai, voted the tournament's MVP, collected 17, followed by Zhang's 14 (including a dozen from the three-point area) and Jiang Xinxin's 12. Chee Li Wei, a 6-7 Malaysian whose family moved to Fujian seven years ago, had four points, five rebounds and five blocks.

Cincoflores and 6-11 Fil-Am Gregory Slaughter each had 15 points for the Green Lancers, who are the reigning seven-time champions in the local CESAFI league.

In the battle for third place, Southwestern University waltzed to a 105-93 win over South Korea's Hanyang University.

The championship was supported by Burlington Industries, Wilson as the official ball, Summit Mineral Water, Healthy Options,
Spring Natural Water, Hotel Fortuna, Casino Alcohol, Omega Pain Reliever, Everlast, McDavid Sports.

                        "Huaqiao University as one of the top contender of the 6th Asian University Basketball Championship."
      
                Huaqiao University, one of the leading men's teams in the China University Basketball Association (CUBA) in the last four seasons, will compete in the 6th Asian University Basketball Championship to be held in Cebu City from July 5-12.

                Based in the province of Fujian, Huaqiao is among the best international universities in the People's Republic of China with more than 30,000 students. 
 
               The school captured the China University Basketball Association (CUBA) title in 2003.

                It will be Huaqiao University's second straight appearance in the AUBC, which was established in 1998. A year ago, in Daet, Camarines Norte, the Chinese team placed third behind South Korea's Sangmu University and local bet Rizal Technological University.

                Among the top dignitaries to grace the eight-day AUBC competitions is Dr. Carl Menky Ching. Considered the "Father of Asian basketball," Ching, a former FIBA president who is now the FIBA's honorary life president, will be the special guest of honor and speaker during the opening ceremonies on July 5. 

                Honorable Prospero "Butch" Pichay, the BAP and BAP-SBP president, and Congressman Luis Villafuerte, the chair of the BAP and BAP-SBP, and BAP-SBP Vice Chairman Wilson Young and BAP SBP Executive Director Christian Tan,  will personally welcome Ching.
             
                All-time South Korean great Shin Dong Pa, the president of Asian University Basketball Federation (AUBF) that has a membership of more than 30 countries, will formally open the games following an inspiration talk to the participating teams.

               Shin, a deadly shooting forward during his heyday with the South Korean national team during the 1960s and early 1970s, is currently the vice president of the Korea Basketball Association (KBA), which sent Hanyang University to the Philippines for its first AUBC appearance here.

                "We will show our brand of hospitality to the students from powerhouse China and South Korea and our cultural exchange program and friendship among our university students," said Pichay, who is the prime mover of this prestigious event in cooperation with BAP-SBP regional director Lorenzo Sy and with support from affiliate member Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP) and the Cebu based league - Cebu School Athletic Foundation Inc (CESAFI) under its Commissioner Felix Tiukinhoy.

                AUBF has been recognized by the Asian University Sports Federation since 1998. The inaugural tournament was held in the Philippines during the time of Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chair Philip Ella Juico and among in attendance was AUSF Secretary General Dr. Ekodjatmiko Sukarso of Indonesia.

                The winner of the 1st AUBC tournament in 1998 was the University of Manila (UM) under veteran coach Ato Tolentino. The Hawks beat Chinese-Taipei in the finals that year.

                 The 6th AUBC Championship unwraps on July 5 with a 5:00 p.m. game at the Cebu Coliseum. There wil be out-of-town games in nearby Cebu cities like Bogo and Lapu-Lapu cities. Bogo City mayor Celestino Martinez, a member of the BAP-SBP Board of Trustees and chair of the Cebu Basketball League (CBL), will play host to one game date.

Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia --- Guangdong University of China scored a masterful 95-66 victory over National
Taiwan University of Arts in the finals of the 8th Asian University Basketball Championship held at the Binutlu Municipal Stadium in Sarawak, Malaysia. 

With 6-foot-8 twins Ren Jun Fei and Ren Jun Wei, 6-9 Li Yuan Yu and 6-11 Da Lai Wu combining for 53 points, the Chinese totally dominated the Taiwanese from start to finish to capture the AUBC title once held by Hua Qiao University of China in 2007.  

Da Lai Wu, a native of Mongolia, and brothers Ren Jen Fei and Ren Jen Wei will see action in the 26th Summer
Universiade in Shenzhen, China in August where the Philippines is one of 24 participants in men’s basketball.

Meanwhile, the University of the East (UE) of the Philippines routed Malaysia, 85-67, to grab third place in the prestigious tournament held annually.

Paul Zamar topscored for the Philippines with 20 points, including a pair of three-point shots that allowed his team to pull away from the Malaysians, who had beaten the Filipinos in first-round action.

Three other players scored in double digits for the Jerry Codiñera-coached UE Red Warriors – Adrian Santos, 18,Benjamin Zosa, 11, and John Michael Noble, 10. 


UE’s trip was made possible by the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) and the Federation of School Sports Association (FESSAP), the latter of which is the local university sports body recognized by the Federation of International University Sports (FISU), the organizer of the Summer Universiade and World University Championship.

Attending the 8th AUBC closing ceremonies were AUBF and BAP secretary general Graham Chua Lim, who represented BAP President Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and AUBF president Shin Dong Pa of Korea, Malaysian Education Deputy Minister Dato' Saifuddin Bin Abdullah, Bintulu Basketball Association (BBA) chairman Wong Hong Gouk and  president Lawrence Hii, organizer Tan Kee Hian and Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA) vice president Ling Kuok Kai.

The tournament was further boosted by the support of FIBA-Asia officials.

With the event's successful staging in Sarawak, Minister Bin Abdullah has already informed the Asian University Basketball Federation (AUBF) through secretary general Graham Chua Lim of Kuala Lumpur's intention to host the 9th AUBC competitions early next year.
