Philippine Sports: Is it in critical condition?

Tweet

Sad to say but yes Philippine Sports is in critical condition. Unless the government and its sports officials wake up and do something about it, Philippine Sports will never be as it used to be. Gone are the likes of Lydia de Vega, Elma Muros, Onyok Velasco, Eric Buhain, Cristine Jacob and many other athletes who have given the country pride and glory. In Basketball, we used to be win championships in the Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) and even the Jones Cup. Now our Southeast Asian neighbors are fast catching on us. Why? Unlike other countries who gives full support to its athletes, our government gives little support to our athletes. Philippine Sport officials are fighting with each other for authority while leaving our athletes staring blankly on their future. We have so many promising and good athletes all over the country waiting to be discovered and trained if only our government will have an effective and productive sports program to follow. There's too much politics even in sports which has greatly affected it and now we can see the result. Philippine Sports is dying and if our government doesn't do something about it we will always see the Philippines at the end of the medal tally with no gold, no silver and no bronze.
