    Tips for the Perfect Cheesy Omelette

    Use a Nonstick Pan

    A nonstick pan can help prevent the eggs from sticking. Keep the heat at medium-low when cooking the omelette.

    Do Not Overcook

    Remove the omelette from the heat once the cheese has melted and the eggs are cooked. Overcooking can make the eggs dry.

    Choose a Melty Cheese

    Cheddar and mozzarella are good choices because they melt easily and add more flavor to the omelette.

    Do Not Overfill

    Keep the amount of vegetables and cheese manageable. Too much filling can make the omelette difficult to fold.

    Carlos Yulo added another major achievement to his decorated career after winning the men’s floor exercise final at the 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026 on September 24 in Nagoya, Japan.

    The two-time Olympic gold medalist scored 14.666 points to claim the gold medal. His victory also gave the Philippines its first gold medal of the 2026 Asian Games.

    Yulo Rules the Floor Exercise

    Yulo delivered a strong routine in the eight-man final. He recorded 8.966 points in execution and 5.7 in difficulty for his winning score of 14.666.

    Kazakhstan’s Milad Karimi finished second with 14.600 points. Japan’s Shoma Tsukiyama completed the podium with 14.566 points. Yulo won by only 0.066 points over Karimi in a close final.

    The victory also gave Yulo his first Asian Games medal. He had previously competed at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, where he finished seventh in the floor exercise final.

    Eight years later, Yulo returned to the continental competition with a different result. His gold in Nagoya added another major title to a collection that already includes Olympic, World Championship, Asian Championship, and Southeast Asian Games gold medals.

    A Golden Moment for the Philippines

    Yulo’s victory became an important moment for Team Philippines. His gold was the country’s first of the Aichi-Nagoya Games and pushed the Philippine medal tally to one gold, one silver, and four bronze medals at the time of the result.

    The gold also completed a major part of Yulo’s international medal collection. The Olympic champion had already reached the top of the podium at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he won gold in both floor exercise and vault.

    With the Asian Games title now added to his achievements, Yulo has collected major gold medals across the Olympics, World Championships, Asian Championships, Southeast Asian Games, and Asian Games.

    More Medals Within Reach

    Yulo’s Asian Games campaign is not over yet. He is also set to compete in the men’s vault and parallel bars finals, giving him more opportunities to add to his medal haul in Nagoya.

    For now, however, his floor exercise victory stands as a major highlight for Team Philippines. Yulo delivered the country’s first gold of the Games and added another milestone to one of the Philippines’ most successful gymnastics careers.

    The Jose Rizal University (JRU) Heavy Bombers remained unbeaten in NCAA Season 102 after holding off the College of Saint Benilde Blazers, 73-69, on Tuesday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.

    JRU built a 16-point lead before Benilde mounted a strong comeback in the fourth quarter. The Blazers eventually took a 66-65 lead with just over two minutes remaining, but the Heavy Bombers stayed composed in the closing minutes to secure the win.

    The Heavy Bombers showed control early in the game, creating separation from the Blazers and maintaining their advantage for most of the contest. However, Benilde refused to go down quietly and continued to pressure JRU as the game reached its final minutes.

    Hubilla Makes His Presence Felt

    Chris Hubilla delivered an all-around performance for JRU, finishing with 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 blocks to earn Player of the Game honors.

    Lawrence Mangubat also provided a major offensive contribution with 20 points and nine rebounds, while Jalen Garcia added 11 points. Their performances helped JRU withstand Benilde’s late push and improve to a 2-0 record.

    The combined effort from JRU’s key players allowed the Heavy Bombers to maintain their composure despite Benilde’s comeback. With multiple players contributing on offense and defense, JRU found enough plays in the final minutes to secure the victory.

    JRU Holds Off Benilde’s Comeback

    The Heavy Bombers entered the final quarter with an eight-point advantage, 58-50, but Benilde gradually erased the deficit behind Justine Sanchez and Jhommel Ancheta.

    Benilde’s comeback shifted the momentum in the fourth quarter, putting JRU under pressure after the Heavy Bombers had controlled much of the game. The Blazers continued to attack and eventually moved ahead, 66-65, with just over two minutes remaining.

    The final stretch showed JRU’s ability to respond when the game was on the line. Despite losing its double-digit advantage and allowing Benilde to take the lead, the Heavy Bombers managed to regain control and protect their unbeaten record.

    The victory gives JRU another strong result early in NCAA Season 102 as the Heavy Bombers continue their run in Group A. Meanwhile, Benilde will look to regroup after suffering its first setback of the season.

    San Beda University continued the NCAA’s strong showing against UAAP opposition after the Lady Red Spikers defeated the University of the East, 3-2, in the 2026 V-League Collegiate Challenge.

    The victory gave San Beda its second straight win after previously snapping its winless start with a five-set victory over reigning NCAA champion Colegio de San Juan de Letran. The Lady Red Spikers entered the match with a 1-2 record, while UE also carried the same mark.

    San Beda Holds Off UE

    San Beda and UE battled through a tight five-set contest, with the Lady Red Spikers eventually securing the victory to improve their position in the standings.

    The result gives San Beda another confidence boost after its earlier breakthrough against Letran. The team showed its ability to stay composed in a close match and finish strong against a competitive opponent.

    NCAA Teams Making Their Mark

    San Beda’s victory adds to an interesting trend in this year’s V-League, where NCAA teams have continued to challenge established UAAP programs.

    Arellano University, one of the tournament’s unbeaten teams, has already defeated UST in a five-set battle and remains perfect at 4-0. Benilde has also competed closely against UAAP opposition, while San Beda has now secured wins against both Letran and UE during its V-League run.

    The results highlight the competitiveness of the V-League, where teams from the NCAA and UAAP are given the chance to face each other outside their respective leagues.

    San Beda Gains Momentum

    For San Beda, the win over UE is more than just another victory on its record. After struggling to find its footing early in the tournament, the Lady Red Spikers now have back-to-back wins and are beginning to build momentum.

    With the NCAA and UAAP teams continuing to go head-to-head, San Beda’s latest victory adds another chapter to the growing competition between the two collegiate leagues. The Lady Red Spikers will look to carry this momentum into their succeeding matches as they continue their V-League campaign.
