CDNTopStories: Former world title challenger Jonas “Zorro” Sultan has barged into the top 10 rankings of the World Boxing Association (WBA) bantamweight division. CDNDigital

The division’s current champion is no other than Japanese Naoya “Monster” Inoue while the top three contenders are Raushee Warren of the United States, Gary Antonio Russell, and Ghana’s Manyo Plange.

Sultan has been in the United States for quite some time now. He was Casimero’s sparring partner when the latter prepared for the Rigondeaux bout. He now serves as the sparring partner of Jimuel Pacquiao, the son of Senator Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, who has a scheduled exhibition bout with YouTuber Boy Tapang on September 30 in an undisclosed venue.

Sultan rose to boxing stardom in the Philippines when he defeated Casimero for the IBF world super flyweight title eliminator in 2017 in Cebu City via unanimous decision. He earned a world title shot versus the reigning IBF world super flyweight champion and fellow Filipino Jerwin Ancajas in 2018 but lost via unanimous decision in a fight held in the United States. /rcg

BARMM needs more oxygen as COVID-19 admissions riseThe BARMM needs more oxygen supply as the number of COVID-19 hospital admissions rises in the region. I hope we are not the next country to experience massive oxygen shortages, but the signs are already apparent -- high numbers of new infections, loosening restrictions, overwhelmed hospitals, and a reactionary government that likely won't act until it's too late

Senators hit ‘reckless’ lifting of travel ban on 10 countries'Is there an agenda?' Several senators questioned what one of them described as the “reckless” lifting of travel restrictions on 10 countries amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines. | CMRamosINQ CMRamosINQ My guess is they need construction workers, engineers and architects and maybe financiers from these countries to start work on the Boracay casino pronto. They have only a few months left to finish it before DutertePalpak's term ends. CMRamosINQ Actually that is a question for you, Imee -- ano ang agenda mo at nag-iingay ka ngayon? CMRamosINQ Something smells fishy talaga. 🧐
