my whole family watched the Philippine womens volleyball team play against team Thailand in west negros college... the jam packed venue of supporters cheering for the national team was silent after 3 sets... this is the 2nd lose for the girls in 4 outings losing their bid for the gold... they played well but it wasn't enough to defeat the Thais... this country has a lot of good players in different field... when it comes to boxing... bowling... billiards... etc.. Filipinos create names and honor for the country... but due to lack of support from the government... they lose the opportunity to compete globally and develop their skills to become more competitive... we have long been dreaming of winning our first gold medal in the olympics... but the most we could get is a silver... maybe this government must design a program that will involve large private companies in supporting our athletes in their training and other international competitions... like giving them tax breaks or alike... in that way our teams are secured in getting their proper training and exposures... and who knows by 2008 in Beijing... Philippines will get its 1st ever gold after a long drought... back to reality.. SEA Games is due to end this Sunday... and on monday back to school na... after the week.. prelim exams na... next is christmas vacation... that's life!
