MANILA, Philippines—Their Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup stint may not have ended the way they wanted it to but the Jose Maria College Kings will head back to Mindanao in high spirits. The Kings, who figured in an aggregate two-game series with Far Eastern University, were entered in the stepladder quarterfinals by virtue of being the qualifier of the VisMin division. JMC lost the series after losing huge in Game 1, 96-65, in a lopsided affair. They would, however, end their series on a high note with only a 10-point loss against one of the UAAP's juggernauts, 90-80.

Though motivations to ghosting can be a mystery,how a person forms attachments may determine whether or not they would 'ghost' someone. THERE is a new term Gen-Z-ers regularly use, one where someone you're dating or simply getting to know goes AWOL on you. No calls, no text message responses, or no connection made on social media, called ghosting. Now dealing with this phenomenon can be incredibly difficult — especially because you usually don't know the cause or how to react. Being on the receiving end of ghosting is not just challenging for your own mental health but just downright annoying.
