Rupert Zaragosa can't remember if he had ever gunned down 10 birdies in a round of a pro event before. He'll surely remember what could come Saturday because of that. Shooting six of those birdies coming home, Zaragosa on Friday fired a seven-under-par 63 to open up an eight-stroke lead and practically sew up his first professional title with 18 holes left in the P2.25 million ICTSI Iloilo Golf Challenge at age-old Sta. Barbara. 'I have worked so hard and sacrificed a lot in the last four years to get to this position,' Zaragosa, who has a 196 aggregate after playing the back nine at 13-under for the week, said in Filipino.

FILE PHOTO: The Philippine National Railway inspection train stops at the abandoned PNR station in Lucena City in Quezon province on its way to the Bicol region. INQUIRER/DELFIN P. MALLARI III MANILA, Philippines — The government should seek a public-private partnership (PPP) to revive the Philippine National Railway (PNR) South Long Haul Project instead of relying on a loan from China. Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Brian Raymund Yamsuan said this Wednesday, urging the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to use the PPP mode in pushing through with the South Long Haul Project, otherwise called Bicol Express, since China has not made any solid commitment for the plan.
