    2. Pinagbintangan sya ng PATAFA president for embezzlement of funds, eh sobrang kulang pa nga ng binibigay nila na budget for his training expenses and he has to do his own accounting at the end of the day, which is hindi naman dapat ginagawa ng isang national athlete.

  3. Of course he'd win, world no. 2 kaya yan. Si Duplantis lang makakatalo sa kanya. I love his determination. Nung kasagsagan ng issue nya people kept urging him to play for another country that would fully support him financially. Bonus din that he is well spoken and smart.

  7. Congrats. Just goes to show walanghiya talaga mga leaders natin. Instead of building up our people, they tear us down and literally against all odds, Filipinos still succeed.. Kaya gumagaling mga Filipinos kasi they grow up in hostile environments. Yun lang not everyone can thrive in hostile environments and it is an abusive system, clearly. Kaya di ako magtaka lumilipat magagaling like the chess player nagmaster after moving to USA. I remember sabi nya ang layo ng support sa USA kesa sa Phils. Phils, sinisiraan sariling tao. Pano uunlad? Hanggang dito nalang tayo. Go EJ! Go Go Go! kaya Filipinos pagdating sa ibang bansa, sobrang achievers. Nawala yung mga chains and weights tying them down, so they fly high.

  10. Sana naman mag step-up ang POC at PSC for his Olympic training. Some members of his training team haven't been paid for a year and he had to withdraw from a competition in Kazakhstan due to financial constraints. For world class athletes, it is important that they compete frequently para maka earn ng ranking points.

    1. Ito tlaga ang katakataka. May pondo para sa sports and training pero kinurakot yata ang kalahati kaya ang athlete at team nila ang nagsusuffer. Grabe tlaga ang ibang nasa pwesto eh, singkapal na yata ng crocodile ang balat at hindi na nahiya. Kaya nung nagkaissue c Ej, I really encourage him in fp na magchange citizen na sya. I salute him kasi hindi bya ginawa. But really, kung may issue na nman, lumipat na sya. Pinas is a very hopeless case.

  11. Tantanan na natin pagsusumiksik sa basketball. Ang daming sport na mas dapat bigyan ng importansya at malaking budget! We have world champions in tennis, gymnastics, athletics, weightlifting, boxing to name a few. Wag na nating bigyan ng celeb treatment ang basketball players LANG. Madaming deserve din ng ganung treatment. Iangat ang morale ng atletang Pilipino!
