Remembering Thomas Kent✊🇮🇪 The Irish Revolutionary was executed in Cork Gaol on May 9th 1916. Thomas Kent was born in Bawnard House, Castlelyons, near Fermoy, Co. Cork on August 29th 1865. He was one of the seven sons and two daughters of David Kent, who farmed 200 acres, and his wife Mary Rice. Kent was educated at the local national school, probably until about the age of fourteen or fifteen as was normal in rural areas at the time. He spent five years in Boston, where he worked with a publishing and church furnishings company and participated in Irish cultural activities, many of which were run by the Gaelic League. When he returned home in 1889 he became involved in the Plan of Campaign, a movement for land reform organised by members of the Irish Parliamentary Party. As a result of his involvement, he served two months of hard labour in Cork Gaol, having been convicted for conspiracy to evade the payment of rents. Thomas suffered from ill health due to this experience. In 1914 the Kent brothers organised a branch of the Irish Volunteers at Castlelyons which was said to be the first teetotal branch in the country. In early 1916 the Kent home was raided by the RIC for arms, Thomas spent two months in Cork Gaol for possession of a firearm. When the Kents heard of the Rising they remained away from home hoping for mobilisation orders but returned when it was over, on the night of May 1st. There was a countrywide crackdown on Irish Republicans after the Easter Rising, so when the Kent residence was raided they were met with resistance from Thomas and his brothers Richard, David and William. A gunfight lasted for four hours, in which a RIC officer, Head Constable William Rowe, was killed and David Kent was seriously wounded. Eventually, the Kents were forced to surrender, although Richard made a last-minute dash for freedom and was fatally wounded. More In The Comments Section. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3w65NYv
Country’s hosting of FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers gets nod, too
THE Philippine Basketball Association’s (PBA) push to start its delayed Season 46 caught a break late last week when it got government approval to have its member teams resume practices.
In an announcement made on Friday, the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), through Resolution No. 114, gave the go-ahead on the planned workouts of PBA teams in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) or moderate GCQ setup.
Also approved was the country’s hosting of the third window of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Asia Cup Qualifiers in June in a “bubble” setting at Clark City in Angeles, Pampanga.
In his online media briefing on Friday, PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial said the league welcomes the development as it serves as a prelude to the possible start of their new season in the next few weeks.
The league chief said he will meet with players and team officials this week to discuss the PBA’s protocols for the return to practices, including 5-on-5 scrimmages, which they hope to start at least by May 18.
Mr. Marcial is also set to meet with Games and Amusements Board (GAB) Chairman Baham Mitra to discuss the protocols in line with the Joint Administrative Order crafted by GAB along with the Philippine Sports Commission and Department of Health.
The PBA has short-listed Batangas City as a possible practice destination for teams since the area is under GCQ.
Mr. Marcial and his team have already inspected and approved the Batangas City Coliseum, Batangas State University Gym and the Lyceum-Batangas Gym as training venues.
Some teams, meanwhile, have made it known that they plan to trek North for their training.
But the PBA is not closing its doors on having the training’s resumption inside the National Capital Region, especially if the quarantine status in the NCR and the nearby provinces of Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, and Laguna is downgraded to GCQ.
The Greater Manila Area is still currently under a Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) setup after a spike in coronavirus cases recently.
The MECQ status is in effect until May 14 and subject for reevaluation.
“It’s great news for us that we’re now allowed to return to practices. We’re studying our options and waiting for further developments as we move forward,” Mr. Marcial said.
The PBA is set to impose stricter guidelines as it resumes activities to ensure their successful conduct leading to the season start.
The guidelines cover among other things the needed swab tests for all concerned and orderly scheduling of practices.
Meanwhile, PBA governor Alfrancis Chua of Barangay Ginebra shared that they are now looking at June 15 as the start of Season 46 while also enjoining all members of the league to do their part in making the return to practices a success.
“After being given the approval to return to practice, it’s now our turn to show that we can hold activities in a safe manner to prove that it can be done and we can stage our new season,” said Mr. Chua in Filipino on The Chasedown program on Saturday.
Mr. Chua was with Mr. Marcial in a meeting with government officials two weeks ago where they presented the PBA’s proposal for the staging of Season 46.
The league was originally targeting to start its new season on April 18 until the surge in coronavirus cases in the country forced its deferment.
FIBA ACQ In another development, the IATF-EID approved the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas’ (SBP) hosting of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers third window from June 16 to 20 in Clark.
The event will be staged in a bubble setting and conducted under strict health and safety protocols.
Game venue will be the Angeles University Foundation Sports & Cultural Center with Quest Hotel serving as the teams’ home.
Three groups are set to see action in the window, including Group A, which has the Philippines, South Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand.
“We’re looking forward to hosting our friends from Groups A, B and C and showing the kind of hospitality that the Philippines is known for,” said SBP President Al Panlilio in a statement.
Adding, “The SBP knows that Filipino basketball fans have waited for a long time for this and we’re just as excited as they are to have international basketball in our country again.” — Michael Angelo S. Murillo

AN APPEAL was made for Filipino athletes, especially those seeing action in international competitions like the Olympics, to be included as essential workers in the government’s priority list to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. — 2019 SEA GAMES WEBSITE
SENATOR Francis Tolentino on Sunday made an appeal to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) to have Filipino athletes, especially those seeing action in international competitions like the Olympics, included as essential workers in the government’s priority list to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
The senator made the remarks as both amateur and professional athletes remain excluded in the “A4 Priority” of the government in its ongoing nationwide vaccine rollout.
He expressed concern over it since the Tokyo Olympics is fast approaching while other athletes are also looking to train for the 31st Hanoi Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games).
The rescheduled Olympics this year is set for July 23 to Aug. 8 while the SEA Games takes place from Nov. 21 to Dec. 3.
“The athletes should also be prioritized as sports development should be part of the post-pandemic recovery process,” Mr. Tolentino said in a statement. “The physical well-being of our athletes is reflective of the health of the nation.”
Of the seven athletes who have qualified so far for the Olympics, only boxer Eumir Felix Marcial (two jabs in the United States) and weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz (one in Malaysia) have been inoculated to date. A total of 626 athletes, meanwhile, were identified for Team Philippines to the Hanoi SEA Games.
The Philippine Olympic Committee President (POC) earlier announced that businessman Enrique Razon pledged Moderna vaccines for the Philippine Olympic delegation, including administrative staff and media.
“The vaccines are in transit [for Olympics-bound athletes], but the problem is that all of our Olympic-bound athletes are training abroad,” said POC President Abraham Tolentino. “We will try to contact our counterparts if it is possible to include our athletes in their countries’ vaccination program.”
Olympic-bound athletes EJ Obiena (pole vault) and Caloy Yulo (gymnastics) are training in Italy and Japan, respectively, while boxers Nesthy Petecio, Carlo Paalam, and Irish Magno are in Thailand.
The POC also allotted a $40,000 grant from the Olympic Council of Asia for the inoculation of the SEA Games-bound athletes.
Senator Tolentino also made the same appeal for professional athletes playing for different sports leagues.
Currently included in the A4 Priority list are frontline workers in commuter transport, wet and dry markets, food service, news media, education, specific government agencies, and overseas workers. — Michael Angelo S. Murillo
