A University of the Philippines standout, Carlos came up with 15 points built on 12 kills and three aces in the last three sets to anchor her squad coached by Roger Gorayeb to victory in the fund-raising tournament.

She got ample support from National University spiker Aiko Urdas, who contributed with 11 including eight attacks.

Winning the match was just the icing on the cake for Gorayeb as they only returned the favor to the supporters of the league as well as to help raise funds for the Hero Foundation, which aids men and women in uniform and the orphans of the fallen soldiers.

“Ito naman ginawa para sa mga fans ng mga batang ito at doon sa Hero Foundation. Yung makatulong kami, makabigay kami ng kasiyahan sa mga tao,” said Gorayeb.

Skipper Amy Ahomiro and Kathy Bersola scored nine points each for Team Red, while Grethcel Soltones, Risa Sato and Jerrili Malabanan combined for 15 points.

Nicole Tiamzon and Isa Molde, also UP standouts, conspired for 26 points, even as Ateneo’s Bea De Leon added 11 for Team White mentored by Rico De Guzman of Pocari Sweat.

Male spikers also contributed to the cause with Team Yellow of coach Rhovyl Verayo prevailing over Team Blue of coach Oliver Almadro, 25-16, 20-25, 25-22, 23-25, 15-9.

Fans saw the impressive performances of Fauzi Ismail and Kim Malabunga of NU posting 14 and 13 points, respectively, even as national team member Ranran Abdilla also adding 13 points.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
