COCO GAUFF KNOWS

POV: Gareth Curtis


Coco Gauff suggests why Alex Eala’s fans treated her differently from other players in Dubai

Coco Gauff offered thoughtful insight into the intense crowd energy during her Dubai match against Alex Eala, suggesting why Alex Eala’s fans treated her differently from other players. The American star addressed the noticeably passionate—and at times overwhelming—support directed toward the young Filipina, which stood out compared to the reception given to opponents throughout the tournament.Speaking after her victory, Coco Gauff pointed to Eala’s unique status as a trailblazer. “She’s carrying so much pride for her country and for fans who haven’t had someone like her to cheer for before,” Gauff explained. She suggested the fervor stems from historic representation—Eala being the first Filipino woman to achieve such high-level success in tennis—creating an emotional investment that feels personal to supporters. This deep connection, Gauff noted, naturally leads to louder, more intense reactions when Eala takes the court.While acknowledging the positive side of such devotion, Coco Gauff gently highlighted how the difference in treatment can create an uneven atmosphere. “It’s special to see that love, but it sometimes feels different when you’re the one across the net,” she said, emphasizing sportsmanship benefits everyone. Her comments reflect maturity and empathy, recognizing the cultural significance behind the crowd’s behavior without excusing any oversteps.

Borrowed from Andra Exclusive 24 April 2025 Lifted from Celia Diaz Laurel  23 May 2023 Because YOU asked for it, we are giving you another snippet of “The Remarkable Miss Nora Aunor” penned by Celia Diaz Laurel for the Superstar's 18th birthday.  Lollipops and Roses was a certified blockbuster but her legion of fans would not have probably hinted that Nora was silently suffering from many things, mainly intrigues and social pressure during this film’s shoot in the US.  In her tribute, Mrs. Laurel disclosed about a particular day when Nora was not in her usual active self and had become the shoot's cause of delay due to her frequent disappearances from the set. Naturally, the delays had also began to make her two leading men, Cocoy and Don Johnson, fidgety too.  So with all good intentions, Mrs. Laurel silently followed her. She found her sobbing in a corner. Trying her best to comfort her, Mrs. Laurel gently placed her hand on Nora's head.  Though surprised, the...

THE FALL

Lifted from OPTIC POLITICS EDITORIAL | The Candle That Burned Out: The Collapse of Martin Romualdez’s Speakership OPTIC Politics | September 17, 2025 Power, in a democracy, is never permanent. It is borrowed, conditional, and answerable to the Constitution and the people. Yet Martin Romualdez believed otherwise. For three years, he built his speakership on the illusion of invincibility, mistaking political arithmetic for public trust. Today, that illusion has collapsed, and his resignation marks not just the fall of one man, but the implosion of an entire machinery of arrogance. Romualdez’s downfall was not sudden — it was the natural result of years of abuse. His speakership will be remembered as a textbook case of how not to lead a legislative chamber. Under his watch, budget insertions and flood-control scandals surfaced, billions in taxpayer money allegedly redirected and repackaged with suspicious precision. Congress, endowed by the Constitution with the power of the purse, wa...
