It’s Down to the Final Four in the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup!

September 12, 2026 cbholganza

I’ve got Team USA and France battling it out in the Finals. I expect Team USA to reach the top and claim their fifth consecutive World Cup crown. But the gap has definitely shrunk. The lesson from the near-disaster against Italy is that raw talent is no longer a shield against cohesive, hungry international teams. A cohesive team with 3 to 4 WNBA players can take down a team of USA superstars if they don’t make good music together. If the US doesn’t sort out its internal flow, Spain, France, or a surging Germany will happily take the crown.

The Nepal Tragedy: A Heartbreak in the Himalayas

We must all unite – citizens, local community leaders, government officials, engineers, scientists and subject matter experts – behind a single mission to keep people safe. Let us honor the thousands of lives cut short not with empty promises, but by learning from these brutal lessons. We must act now, together, to build a shield strong enough to safeguard the families of our brothers in the highlands of Nepal and Tibet, and ensure that such a tragedy never silences those valleys once again.

It is not enough that we know how to wage war. We must never forget that the ultimate purpose of war is to achieve peace. And for that peace to endure, we must also learn how to build and nurture it.

Gilas Pilipinas Fights Back!!!

August 30, 2026 cbholganza

Gilas Pilipinas ekes out a nail-biting 82-81 win over Jordan to keep the Philippines’ hopes alive in the FIBA 2027 Qualifiers, despite the absence of naturalized star, Justin Brownlee.

The Guns Are Silent in Buldon

Buldon taught me that peace is not always won by defeating an enemy. Sometimes, peace begins when you give people enough reason to stop being enemies in the first place. Winning the war, I learned, is not always what matters. What matters more is winning the peace.
