Basta bentang P25, dapat magresiboDAPAT magbigay ngresibo kapag lumag-pas sa P25 ang ibini-
benta. Ang hindi mag-bibigay ng resibo ayisasama sa kampanyang Bureau of InternalRevenue (BIR) labansa mga informal namangangalakal na bu-mubuo sa 40 porsyen-to ng ekonomiya.
Dahil kailangangkumubra ng P860 bil-
yong buwis bago mat-apos ang taon, inila-
had ni BIR Commis-sioner Kim Henaresang sari-saring pama-
maraan upang makuhaang tamang buwis samga mamamayan.
Ani Henares, kasa-ma sa mga pamama-raan ang paniningilng buwis sa lahat ngsangay ng l ipunan,mula sa mga malala-king negosyante, mgacelebrity, doktor at ibapang propesyunal.
Pero ang gustong
tutukan ng BIR ay angunderground econo-my tulad ng mga tin-
dero sa bangketa, may-ari ng sari-sari store, atmga tsuper ng padyak.
T h e r u l e i n t h eN a t i o n a l R e v e n u eCode says that if yousell something worthmore than P25, youshould really be issu-ing receipt, ani Hena-res. Thats the law.They should comply

We want to transform the

Rufa Mae: Huwag nang
pag-usapan ang mga Arroyo
Si Mikey, na anak ni dating
Pangulo Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,ang natsitsismis na mysteriousbusinessman-politician boyfriendni Rufa Mae. Todo deny din angcomedienne tungkol rito. Kasal siMikey kay Ma. Angela Montene-gro mula pa noong June 2002.
I dont want to talk about theArroyo family anymorebaka af-fected na sila, sabi ni Rufa Maesa I NQUIRER kamakailan. Ive nottalked with Mikey about this, ei-ther. What would I tell him? Al-
though I have to send him a textmessage sooner or later, just toask how he ishis mom may al-ready be angry with all these ru-mors circulating.
Masama ang loob ni Rufa Maeat nakalulungkot na rin dawna pinagtatawanan daw ngayonang kanyang love life ng publiko.I have feelings, too, sabi niya sapaglulunsad ng Kaya ng Powers,bago niyang sitcom sa GMA 7. Iguess some people entertain them-selves that way.
Dagdag pa ng aktres: I intendto be physically, mentally, emo-tionally and financially preparedbefore I have a baby. Plus, I cer-tainly want to be married first. Idont want to feel depressed whilepregnant. Mahirap magbuntis, Ithink. I want everything to beokaywalang negative vibes.
Postponed ang kasalSinabi rin ni Rufa Mae na hindi
muna tuloy ang engrandeng kasalna una niyang inanunsiyo na mag-
aganap sana sa taong ito. Yes,
were engaged and we want to be
together for life, but its not easy.We want the controversy to diedown first. [My partner] is a veryprivate person. Hes low-profile.He easily gets affected by rumors.I want to be able to talk about the
wedding with him beside me,when hes finally ready to face ev-erybodyhindi lang siya mysteryman.
Maraming trabahoSinabi rin ni Rufa Mae na na-
bigyan siya ng mas maraming tra-
baho matapos niyang isapublikoang desisyon niyang lumagay satahimik. Its like people dont likeme to quit show biz. Thats anoth-er reason Im having secondthoughts about leaving. Tamabang ikasal na ako ngayon?
Pumirma si Rufa Mae kamakai-lan sa dalawang taong manage-ment contract sa GMA 7. I toldmy bosses to give me two years,itotodo ko ang trabaho. After that,Ill decide whether or not Illleave.
Dagdag pa ni Rufa Mae na busyrin siyang tumutulong sa kanyangbest friend, ang actress na si LJMoreno, sa paghahanda sa kasalnito. Ikakasal si LJ sa basketballstar na si Jimmy Alapag sa Agosto.I told her, you go first. Maybe2011 is the year for me, sabi niRufa Mae.
Gaganap ang comedienne bi-lang si Mrs. Stephanie Powers sasitcom, Kaya ng Powers, na hu-malaw ng inspirasyon sa Disney
animated film na The Incredibles.

STOP ATENEO JUGGERNAUT
Dindos
challengeBy Vanessa HidalgoL
A SALLE coach Dindo Pumaren is pretty sure aboutit: The Green Archers are underdogs when they facereigning titleholders Ateneo Blue Eagles Saturday in
the first round of UAAP mens basketball at the AranetaColiseum.
We are underdogs and the Ea-
gles are favorites, Pumaren toldINQUIRER LIBRE when asked to as-sess the chance of the Archersagainst the Eagles, who are seek-ing a three-peat.
To be fair, Pumaren is simply
stating the truth. The Archershave lost six straight to the Eaglessince 2008 and from the looks ofit, Pumaren, who took over thecoaching reins from his multi-ti-tled brother Franz, needs toweave his own magic to stopthe Ateneo juggernaut.
Pumaren, however, isnt inthe mood to surrender. Fact is,he is confident that after going0-6 the past two seasons, thingsare rosy for the Taft-based hoop-
sters.They are the bigger playersbut we will contest their post
plays and pick and rolls, saidPumaren.
Pumaren also believesthat he has an ace
named Joshua Webb,who can negate Blue EagleNico Salvas all-around plays.
Though Webb did not playwell in our last three games, Iknow that he (Webb) will step upfor Saturdays game.

10 SPORTS ADMU VS DLSU
BreakdownBy Lorenzo M. ManguiatB
ITTER rivals Ateneo de Manila University and DeLa Salle University are meeting for the 64th time inthe UAAP (DLSU currently leads series, 33 - 30)
this Saturday, July 24.
The rosters of both schools havechanged throughout the years and
correspondingly, their strengths andweaknesses have also been changed.Below is a breakdown of this sea-
sons Blue Eagles and Green Archersheading into Saturdays showdown.
ATENEOStrengths
EXPERIENCETen of the currentBlue Eagles were part of last yearschampionship squad and seven ofthem have won two titles.
Including the Final Four and Finals,Ateneo, with the core of Eric Salamat,
Kirk Long, Nico Salva and Ryan Bue-nafe, has gone a combined 32 - 3 dur-ing the previous two seasons.
FRONT COURT While Ateneomay no longer have Rabeh Al-Hussainiand Nonoy Baclao to terrorize thepaint, the Blue Eagles front court re-mains formidable as the likes of Salva,Justin Chua, Frank Golla and new-comers Jason Escueta, Arthur DelaCruz and JP Erram have all done theirshare on both ends of the floor.
Salva (team best 12.7 ppg) has
emerged as the go-to-guy of Ateneowhile Chua finally had his breakoutperformance against UST last Sunday(17 pts., 11 rebs, 4 blks). Meanwhile,Golla, Escueta, Dela Cruz and Erramhave been perfect complimentaryplayers.
The Blue Eagles are presently tiedwith NU for number one in terms ofpoints in the paint allowed (23.3ppg).
Weaknesses
PERIMETER SCORING ANDTHREE-POINT SHOOTINGAteneoranked first in the league in three-point shooting (31.5%) and perimeterscoring (29.3 ppg) last season.
However, in this campaign the BlueEagles currently rank last and second-to-the-last in three-point shooting(15.9%) and perimeter scoring (15.7ppg), respectively.
While the departure of last yearschief gunner Jai Reyes may be the ob-
vious reason in the massive drop-off,the loss of center Rabeh Al-Hussaini
may have also contributed as he wasknown to have forced opponents to
double-team, resulting to more openoutside shots.With no Rabeh to command extra
attention inside, Ateneos shooters arehaving a tougher time getting theirshots off this season.
ROTATIONCoach NormanBlack has admitted that he still issearching for the right rotation as evi-denced by Ateneos different startingline-ups during its three outings andEric Salamat, Kirk Long and FrankGolla have been the only players tohave started every game.
Ateneo doesnt have a true pointguard and bringing the ball down hasbeen a shared responsibility amongSalamat, Long, Buenafe, Emman Mon-fort and Juami Tiongson.
DLSUStrengths
DEPTHLa Salle currently hasnine players averaging at least 15minutes of action with Simon Atkinsaveraging the most playing time at24.7 minutes per outing.
As a result of playing time beingdistributed almost evenly, the Archerspresently rank first in the league inbench scoring at 36.7 points per out-ing.
FORCING TURNOVERSCoachDindo Pumaren may have replaced hisbrother Franz, but the system, whichfocuses on the dreaded pressing de-fense, has remained in place.
La Salles depth, primarily in thebackcourt has enabled Pumaren theluxury of constantly shuffling his men,allowing the Archers to put fresh bod-ies on the court to apply their merci-less press at any given time.
The Archers presently score aleague-best 21.3 points off turnoversand rank second behind Adamson inforced turnovers at 21 per game.
Weaknesses
INEXPERIENCELa Salle is theyoungest team in the league since ithas seven rookies, five of whom arefresh out of high school, and foursophomores.
In a big game against Ateneo, there
may be a possibility that the young
Archers may be overwhelmed by theimmensity of the match and the rival-ry.
However, in last years first roundmeeting La Salles rookie-laden squad(they had six rookies) didnt shownerves as they stretched Ateneo to thelimit before losing in overtime.
FRONTCOURTTaking awaynothing from UE and UP, La Salles
two victories came at the expense ofteams without dominant big men.Against NU, the Archers frontcourt
was obliterated by the inside presenceof Cameroonian rookie EmmanuelMbe, who tallied 21 points and 19 re-bounds.

NORMAN Black happily embraces thethought that defending champion Ateneowill take the floor as favorite when the
Blue Eagles renew their storied rivalry with theDLSU Green Archers in the UAAP at the AranetaColiseum.
I have no problem withthat. Its okay if we are thefavorites and La Salle is un-derdog, said Black, who isknown for being cool evenduring the most trying partof a roller-coaster game.
Black, however, is notgoing to be lured into a
false sense of security.He knows beating
La Salle this Saturday will neverbe easy.
Its always difficult to playLa Salle because the Archers arealways in shape. Im sure thatthey are ready to play on Satur-day, Black said. He addedthat a La Salle-Ateneo tiff

Rivalry RemixedBy Ruel S. De VeraSunday Inquirer Associate Editor
THESE sweet-shooting days, popular songs oftenuse elements of older or classic songs and rein-
vent them in a dynamic new way.
So it goes with the UAAPsAteneo-La Salle game. The sin-gle most potent basketball rival-
ry in the Philippines returns toscreen and screams this Sat-
urday with the very newmixed in with the old re-
liables.The two-time de-
fending championAteneo Blue Eagles
come into thisgame missing
three majorcontributors
from lastyears title
team:
RabehAl-Hus-saini,
JaiReyes
andNonoy Ba-
clao, as well as theinjured swingman Chris
Sumalinog.Together with returning head
coach Norman Black, the BlueEagles bring height and heft fortheir ambitious try at threestraight titles, often deployingat the same time two of theirburly big men: 6-5 Jason Escue-ta, 6-5 Justin Chua, 6-4 FrankGolla and 6-7 JP Erram.
But while the aggressive KirkLong and the gifted Nico Salva
have picked up the scoringslack with timely scoring, the
Loyola-based squad willlook to captain Eric Sala-mat and fiery Emman
Monfort to provide needed
stability in the backcourt.
For the Blue Eagles to takethis game, the little men willhave to come up big.
Backcourt players, ironically,is what the De La Salle Green
Archers have in spades. Newcoach Dindo Pumaren, himselfa former DLSU point-guard, hasturbocharged the vaunted DLSUpress with La Salles seven rook-ies, anchored by resurgent vet-eran Simon Atkins, who seems
to have discovered his shootingtouch, and headstrong forwardJoshua Webb.
Samuel Marata and Joel To-lentino bring perimeter shoot-ing from the bench. This DLSUlineup is almost unrecognizablefrom the Green Archers last ti-tle squad, back in 2007.
That makeover continues toevolve, but some things neverchange. La Salles frontlineplayersin particular centers
Ferdinand and Yutien Andra-dawill have to deliver strongperformances to cancel the BlueEagles size advantage.
The numbers are alreadycompelling. Ateneo is looking forits seventh straight win over theTaft dribblers, something un-thinkable when one looks backat DLSUs 1990s supremacy.
TheBlue Ea-gles andGreen
Archerseach boast ofthree champi-onships in the2000s, includingthe last three.
Every Ateneo-La Salle game is
already a fantas-tic nullifier: fansfor each side say
you can throwout the stat sheet
when these two meet.They rise to the occasion
and rise against each other. Therivals have a competitive dimen-sion all their own, one which ig-nites its followers passion.
Even as two of its pastheroes now suit up in the same
colors for the Smart-Gilas na-tional team (Ateneos Chris Tiuand La Salles JV Casio), theircomrades still suit up in oppos-ing blue and green.
But the fates have conspiredto add even more tension tothis cage equation. Not only dothe Blue Eagles and Green
Archers meet toting the same
exact win-loss records
(2-1), but they doso in a UAAP Season
73 that has been sounpredictable, title-favorites Far EasternUniversity Tama-
raws (the Blue Ea-gles lone defeat)has been tested of-ten, and once-futileNational University
Bulldogs display teeth (the up-set of La Salle).
All the teams look especiallydangerous this year, almost as ifany gamenot just the Ateneo-La Salle classicis up for grabs.
Yet despite all that, the Ate-neo-La Salle remains Philippine
sports most enduring duel, fullof sold-out games and all-outaction, the UAAPs only surething in a year of delicious un-certainty.
Regardless of who emergesvictorious on the hardcourt, it isa rivalry that, ever evolving andever progressive, remains astimeless as ever.
