    It’s just Sports, not War. There are no losers, just men and women who participated to the best of their ability, representing their country with pride and aplomb, That alone makes them winners. We salute the entire Philippine delegation to the Olympics!

    edi wala ng nakuhang medalya ang Pinas?

  • Camilla

    Walang medalya, so that means more practice pa for the next olympics. Ganun talaga eh, ndi naman ksalanan ng mga pambato natin kung ndi cla manalo sa katungali nila pero at least sumobok.. xD

  • aaawww

    aaawww
    sayang naman
    oks lang yan meron pa namang 4 years bago sa London olympics hehe

  • abby

    hhhmmmm….. kulang kasi yata tayo sa training. tapos, konti pa support sa gobyerno. tapos parang kahit yung konting pondo ng gobyerno for the athletes, i believe, kinukurakot pa ng government. diyos ko, kahit man lang athletes sana wag niyo ng kurakutin!!!

  • abby

    sana man lang si diver manalo!

  • abby

    hhhmmm, kelan kaya tayo mag hohost ng olympics? in the year 2022?!

  • hates

  • http://www.enoypi.net enoypi

    Nakakalungkot namn wla man lang nakakuha ng medal. Kulang lang ata tayo sa budget

  • ulongpanot

    dami kasing problema kaya ganyan nangyari sa mga atleta natin… kulang sa pondo, ung pondo kinukurakot pa… mga atleta walang disiplina (sabi ng chinese coach)…
    pag dating sa olympics kuntento na ma break ang phil.record… ayan kamote talaga tayo…

    kelan kaya mababago? imposible na ba ang ginto?

  • Tae

    BIGO TAYO

  • jackass dako

    Sad to say as I predict. Kulang na kulang pa talaga. Malayo pa ang lalakbayin ng mga Filipino athletes. It’s always a predicament for them to get the elusive Olympic gold. In London Olympics 4 years from now, the preparation should start from the massive training. And the most important is how to get the VISA kasi pahirapan daw. Iisipin na rin ng UK Embassy na mag-T-TNT ang mga Filipino athletes don. Peace :)

  • hehehe

    hay naku..ang pilipinas talaga wala paring panalo eh paano tamad kasi mag ensayo haha! eh bakit ang ibang country nanalo? eh kasi nag eensayo na sila habang maaga pa..ang pilipinas saka na mag eensayo kapag malapit na ang laro..kaya yan wala talaga tayong maibuga..3rd world country na nga tayo, ang baho pa ng gobyerno eh kahit sa sports man lang wala parin tayong ikabuga?

  • lucaret

    Hayyyy. sa susunod practice pa ha…..meron pang 4 years to train. Nakakahiya, konti na nga lang ang isport na sinalihan, wala man lang nakuha kahit aluminum. kayo ang pambato ng ng Pilipinas…. Anyway, congratz pa rin sa mga Philippines athletes.

  • abby
