Da who for today

Robert Salazar Jaworski (born March 8, 1946 in Baguio City, Philippines), also known as Sonny Jaworski, Bobby Jaworski, Jawo, and Robert Jaworski, Sr., is a former Philippine senator, basketball coach and Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association (MICAA) and PBA basketball player.

Known as The Big J and called The Living Legend during his playing days, Jaworski was a former playing coach—the first ever in the PBA—for Ginebra San Miguel. In 2000 he was honored as one of the PBA’s 25 Greatest Players of all time.

Trivia about Jawo:

He is the most popular and most charismatic player the PBA has produced. He played the dual role of player-coach of the La Tondeña franchise at the age of 52 in 1998, 20 years after he won his only MVP award in the PBA.

In 1990 he spearheaded a hastily organized group of professional basketball superstars that attempted to wrestle back Asian basketball supremacy from China. It was the Philippine version of the Dream Team and was composed of four-time MVPs Ramon Fernandez and Alvin Patrimonio, Benjie Paras, Allan Caidic, Chito Loyzaga, Hector Calma, Ronnie Magsanoc and Samboy Lim. It, however, came up only with a Silver medal. It remains to date the best finish by a Philippine professional basketball squad in the Asian Games.

During a Ginebra game against guest team Northern Consolidated, after getting a busted lip in the second quarter, he came back from a nearby hospital with seven stitches and went right back into the fray and led his trailing Ginebra team back to victory.

At age 40, he played the full 58 minutes (regulation plus two overtimes) in a PBA playoff game victory against Manila Beer, 145-135, the third longest exposure in a game by a local player.
He is the first PBA player to hit a three point shot when the three-point shot was introduced in the PBA in 1980. He did this in an exhibition game against the Crispa Redmanizers.

He had a running feud with Toyota teammate Ramon Fernandez that started around the last two years of Toyota in the PBA. It spilled over into a full blown acrimonious war on and off the court after Toyota disbanded in 1984. This feud, which lasted for a few years, was almost equally watched as the Toyota-Crispa rivalry. Jaworski's Ginebra against any team Fernandez was on. The feud finally ended in 1989 when both men, playing for the first time together since Toyota disbanded, orchestrated a beautiful last play that won the game for the All-Star Veterans team against a team of Rookies and Junior players (132-130). Fernandez executed an elegant undergoal stab after receiving an inbound pass from his old friend and team captain Jaworski. (Years later, Fernandez would return the favor in the dying seconds of the Toyota-Crispa reunion match by giving the assist to Jaworski who gallantly took the winning shot, a 3-pointer).

Playing for Meralco, in the amateur MICAA league, Jaworski and his teammate Alberto "Big Boy" Reynoso were given a lifetime ban for punching referee Joe Obias during a league game by the BAP (Basketball Association of the Philippines) headed by Lito Puyat. After three years, the sanction was lifted, Jaworski and Reynoso returned to the hardcourt playing for the Komatsu Comets in the same league.

His first movie was under FPJ' "FANDO" in 1969.


Gospel for the day

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 10:2-16.

The Pharisees approached and asked, "Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?" They were testing him. He said to them in reply, "What did Moses command you?" They replied, "Moses permitted him to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her." But Jesus told them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother (and be joined to his wife), and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." In the house the disciples again questioned him about this. He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.


Word for the day

delate • \dih-LAYT\ • verb
*1 : accuse, denounce
2 : report, relate

Example Sentence:
"In that year Archbishop Blackadder of Glasgow delated some thirty heretics to James IV who let the matter go with a jest." (J.D. Mackie, A History of Scotland)

Did you know?
To "delate" someone is to "hand down" that person to a court of law. In Latin, "delatus" is the unlikely-looking past participle of "deferre," meaning "to bring down, report, or accuse," which in turn comes from "ferre," meaning "to carry." Not surprisingly, our word "defer," meaning "to yield to the opinion or wishes of another," can also be traced back to "deferre." At one time, in fact, "defer" and "delate" had parallel meanings (both could mean "to carry down or away" or "to offer for acceptance"), but those senses are now obsolete. Today, you are most likely to encounter "delate" or its relatives "delation" and "delator" in the context of medieval tribunals, although the words can also relate to modern ecclesiastical tribunals.
