Bringing home some hard-earned golds

Its the 5th day of the 26th SEA GAMES in Indonesia and team Philippines is in 6th place so far with 14 golds,21 silvers and 27 bronze a total of 62 medals.

I'm really disappointed because the Philippine government is not in full support of our athletes.I remember my mom said that on a past SEA games a Filipino athlete was crying in an interview saying that they're no match for the other contenders and blaming the government for not supporting them and,now this would've made me cry too,for not even funding their plane tickets.Well,I wouldnt be surprised if that happens again.The government should not just support them financially,they should support them spiritually and morally and any way they think the can and stop blaming the past administration for screwing up and just MOVE ON! And to make that happen they should spread the SEA games fever!Like,show off live coverage of the games on Quiapo's LED display screen or at malls or any place with a huge display screen,like what they do in Japan when their national team is competing.

Because that's what the athletes need.For them just knowing that the people are cheering for them gives a huge boost of self-confidence.All of us should e cheering,its like our way of telling them that we got their backs coz if we dont,those athletes will go to the competitions very much feeling alone,and that could ruin their performance.But I am so proud of Philippines' team,our team,because they're struggling to earn more golds as much as they can.And 14 golds,no 62 medals! thats really pretty impressive.Ive been watching all,or should I say most of the games coz only two Philippine TV channels are doing live coverage.Also, the news are emphasizing on the gold-earners not even showing-off the sayang-moments of the silver and bronze medalist or even those who didnt win.And if the TV stations can give way to Pacquiao's fight,they should,too,with the SEA games or they can just squeeze in short briefing of every after-games.And If Manny Pacquiao's fights can stop the time of Filipinos,there's not much difference with the SEA games.Well,thats all yet of what Ive seen.
