The state of Philippine sports

Five days after the opening of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Philippines is still at the bottom of the pit with a grand total of 0 medals! This is a HUGE improvement over the 2004 Olympics in Athens where we managed to bag 9 medals (2 silvers and 7 bronze)! I feel ecstatic already.

When an office mate of mine told me that whoever gets the first gold medal in the 2008 Olympics was going to get 5 million pesos, a house and lot, and a car, I thought hey, that’s a good thing. No problem, right? Now all we have to do is get that gold medal.

Rant mode eh. Anyway, let’s all look foward to a great fight between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya!

Grabe ka naman zero na nga tayo. Ini stress mo pa. Alam na ng mga edukado yan. Gusto mo ma improve ang sports, kailangan linisin ang deped PE dept and PSC.
