We are a unique nation.
We support our athletes after they won their medals, not before so they can win them.
Government officials scramble to extend financial assistance to flood victims after wasting their tax money to prevent floods.
Proud Pinoy! Congratulations, Carlos Yulo!
Proud Pinoy! I wonder how many among us stood at attention while the Philippine national anthem was being played as our flag was hoisted alongside and on top of two other flags during Carlos Yulo’s awarding ceremony.
A ‘Tale’ of Two Olympic Opening Ceremonies
A “tale” of 2 opening ceremonies:
Paris Olympics 2024: A unique Olympic parade along the Seine River with the iconic Eiffel Tower in the background.
Manila Olympics 2064: “A startling Olympic parade along the clean and scenic Pasig River from Manila Bay to Laguna de Bay.”
Wishful thinking indeed. Not in my lifetime but miracles can happen. Who knows?
PingBills | Senate Resolution 850, Commending POC President Abraham Tolentino for Leadership and Support to PH Athletes in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics
Mr. President, in times like this where the scale of daily bad news has almost rendered positive things few and far between, it is truly a breath of fresh air to hear stories of hope and success as that of our Filipino athletes’ victory in the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics 2020.
Without taking anything away from our athletes who have given their all in making history and bringing pride to our nation, this representation wishes to also give credit to a leader whose actions inspired and empowered his people to dream more and do more.
Mr. President, I speak of no less than Cavite 8th District Representative Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino, who has worn yet another challenging hat after having been elected as President of the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) in 2019.
Salamat, Nesthy Petecio!
Despite the problems we face at home, we Filipinos still have good reason to rejoice: One of our very own has given honor anew to the Philippines in the Olympics.
Nesthy Petecio represented us well, with her fighting spirit on full display in her bout against Sena Irie of Japan.
With her achievement, Nesthy has inspired us to punch above our weight class – not in the boxing ring but in the ring of daily life.
Mabuhay ka, Nesthy! Mabuhay ang ating mga atleta! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
