WASHINGTON --- Taiwan should be allowed to attend a World Health Organization assembly next week, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday, arguing the democratically governed island's exclusion at China's behest was unwarranted and a concern for global health.

The self-governed island attended the World Health Assembly, the WHO's decision-making body, as an observer from 2009 to 2016 when Taipei-Beijing relations warmed. But China blocked further participation after the election of Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, w...

Wanting to stay competitive for many years to come, Barangay Ginebra on Tuesday pulled out a post-Draft trade that had the Gin Kings addressing a position where they have aging stars. The injured Jeremiah Gray, selected as the second overall choice by Terrafirma on Sunday, found his way to the Kings' lair after the Dyip shipped him for No. 8 pick Javi Gomez de Liao and unheralded sophomore Brian Enriquez. Ginebra coach Tim Cone said the team is willing to take a chance on Gray's injured knee as even his delayed arrival can certainly shore up their stock with the likes of Jeff Chan, Jared Dillinger and the 40-year-old Joe Devance needing support at the forward spot. Recovering ...

Just a few nights ago, Gian Mamuyac fumbled the chance of capping his collegiate career with a UAAP championship. The Ateneo skipper gained more than a consolation prize on Sunday when he was drafted fifth overall by the Rain or Shine ElastoPainters, where he joins other former Blue Eagles in Mike Nieto and Anton Asistio. "Two nights ago, I was coming off an emotional loss. I was really sad," he told reporters shortly after the proceedings at Robinson's Place Manila in Ermita on Sunday.

Rhenz Abando has been so engrossed in capturing the NCAA Season 97 men's basketball title for Letran that he sees winning Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player (MVP) at the same time as a bonus. The 6-foot-2, spring-loaded forward has finally gotten that out of the way after being the hands-down pick for both awards, and Abando will definitely be more motivated to help seal what he set out to do at the start of the season when the Knights battle the Mapua Cardinals on in Game 2 of their title showdown on Sunday. "My priority is to win the championship, because I don't want to be a bridesmaid anymore,'' said Abando, who transferred to Letran a year after the playing for a ...
