CHONBURI, Thailand – Gilas Pilipinas Women reclaimed the Southeast Asian Games crown after a hard-fought 73-70 win over host Thailand in the women’s 5-on-5 basketball final at the Nimibutr Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, December 19.

Their three-peat bid denied after they settled for silver in the 2023 Cambodia edition, Gilas Women got the job done this time without dropping a game.

“I can’t say anything about the girls. I’m so proud of them. They gave it all,” said Philippines head coach Patrick Aquino.

Afril Bernardino and Kacey dela Rosa keyed the Filipinas’ coronation as they both delivered double-doubles when it mattered the most.

Bernardino put up 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 steals, while Dela Rosa produced 17 points and 16 rebounds in the win that gave the Philippines its third women’s 5-on-5 basketball title in the SEA Games following victories in 2019 and 2021.

Sophia Dignadice chimed in 10 points and 3 steals, while Khate Castillo and Janine Pontejos added 9 and 8 points, respectively.

Aquino said beating the hosts on their home turf made the victory more special.

Down by as many as 12 points, the Thais fought back and kept within striking distance until the final seconds, but the Filipinas held their nerve to get the gold.

“The girls worked hard for this. It was a tough game,” Aquino said.

Gilas Women ended the tournament with a 4-0 record, including a resounding 66-55 revenge win over 2023 champion Indonesia in the semifinals. – Rappler.com

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…

Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters.

The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
