The Philippine Delegates in Beijing Olympics 2008 (A Fight for Money?)
pinoyambisyoso.com | Aug 06, 2008 | Comments 102
The Philippine Delegates in Beijing Olympics 2008 made a courtesy call to our President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on August 1, 2008. Wishing them goodluck and congratulations as well as encouragement to bring a Gold Medal for our country.
Hoping this would be the first Gold Medal from Beijing Olympics 2008. The Philippines has been participating in the World Games since 1924, but has come up with only nine medals and none of them gold.
In the history of our country, Mansueto ”Onyok” Velasco was the last to return home with a silver medal from the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.
The Beijing Olympics 2008 will start from August 8 and will end on 24. We are sending 15 athletes who will compete in eight sports disciplines such as weightlifting, boxing, swimming, athletics, taekwondo, archery, diving and shooting.
Here’s the list of our athletes participating in Beijing Olympics 2008: They are Hidilyn Diaz (weightlifting); Henry Tanamor (boxing); Daniel Coakley, and Christel Simms (swimming); Henry Dagmil and Maristella Torres (athletics); Tshomlee Go and Mary Antoinette Rivero (taekwondo); Mark Javier (archery); Miguel Molina, James Wlsh, Ryan Arabejo, Rexel Ryan Fabriga and Sheila Mae Perez (diving); and Eric Ang (shooting).
Facts :
Eric Santos will sing in Beijing Olympics 2008
The President gave $1000 allowance per athlete
The Philippine Olympic Commission had announced that the athlete who wins the first Philippine Olympic gold will receive P10.5 million while the President added P4.5 million, a total of cash pot to P15 million
Thoughts:
For many years, our country is aiming for an olympic gold medal, but we always fail. Where do you think is the main cause of this failure? In our athletes or in the Philippine Olympic Commission? Did they provide enough facilities to train our athletes?
Do the Philippine Delegates in Beijing Olympics 2008 will fight for money or for our country? Does the government needs to offer money for success?

We do lack the facilities. IN ALL FACTORS.
Kulang facilities sa education, sa sports and everything!
Tingnan mo, 15 lang ang masesend natin. I mean, I know na may qualifications yan kaya 15 lang pero bakit kailangan 15 lang?

Kisty, Budget is the root of all hehehe. Nakurakot kasi =)
Wag ka nag magtaka bakit kulang kuno sa budget… Pero nice to hear na may $1000 allowance ang mg athletes, hmmm san kaya galing diba walang pundo?
I don’t know. Hahahaha! Obviously din naman, sponsored din naman mga gamit nila. Sana pinag-combine nalang yung money to establish a place here in the Philippines to let our athletes train with very, very, very good trainers and equipments!
oo nga sayang… mas maliit na delegation, less chance to win db?

Correction lang po Ambo:
Si Anthony Villanueva po yata ang first Filipino Olympic medalist when he won a silver for boxing in 1964.
BTW, Arianne Cerdena won a gold in bowling in Seoul (?) pero demo sport kaya it did not count.
Thanks for that Dadimon. It should be the last time the Philippines won a silver medal was Onyok =)

korek! xempre, publicity yan… magkakandarapa na naman ang mga politicians sa pag-agaw ng atensya ng masa. kainess!
Nicelys last blog post..Inspired Scrapblogger, Who?
This is what I think. the reason for our failure is the lack of a SPORTS PROGRAM. Hindi pwedeng kung kelan lang malapit na ang SEA Games at Opympics eh saka lang puspusan ang training at funding. Dapat it should be an ONGOING COMPREHENSIVE program at the grass roots level pa lang, from the barrios, the elementary schools, from the provinces. That is the pattern being done by other countries. Kahit ano pang incentive ang ibigay mo sa mga yan kung kulang din naman ang foundation, kulang pa rin!
Another thing: CORRPTION. Sa mga pulitiko lang napupunta ang funding.
Nadalke mo Dadimon! Lack of time ang problema. Mahilig kasi tayo sa mabilisan. Dapat talaga inaalagaan ang mga athletes para pagdating ng laban todo bigay. With regards to funding, corruption ang kalaban nga. Hays.
AMBOs last blog post..The Philippine Delegates in Beijing Olympics 2008 (A Fight for Money?)
@kuya mon d nmn actually lack of programs.kya nga may mga palarong pambansa tayo e s mga schools,remeber.lack of funds siguro at tama k gawa ng corruption.gaya non napanood ko about s cycling team ntin n kinurakot yun pera s pagbili ng mga gamit nila.tsaka tama k din s time.kc tyong mga pinoy e kung kelan kaorasan e saka p lng pandalas.uso p din ang mamaya na habbits.the best jan siguro e wag n umasa s tulong ng gobyerno.gaya ni pakyaw, d siya humingi ng suporta kya yun successful n.siya p ngayon kinakapitan ng mga linta.ahek
itots last blog post..Beijing Olympics 2008 Official Youtube Channel
Pero kahit na may mga palarong pambansa pa rin tayo, that’s not enough. There is no program. At dapat ang mga sports program natin all over the country ay interconnected, hindi kanya kanya.
kaya nga kuya mon may naisip na ako na mga bagong athletes na pwedeng isabak e.yun mga MORPG players jan na nakatambak s mga computer shops.ahek
itots last blog post..Beijing Olympics 2008 Official Youtube Channel
That’s true Dadimon. Di tulad sa iba live feed pa ha interconnected talaga haha.
Let’s just hope for the best for these athletes.
let’s just hope and pray…

I think this is a good way to motivate our athlete not just giving 100% but to give their 200% just to win our first gold. I hope maka Gold na tayo.

Shannon sabagay may point ka. Motivation ang pera kaya hayun baka Gold meron na tayo sa mga susunod na araw. Sana.
i agree.. motivation talaga ang pera. sa hirap ng buhay ngaun, money can do a big difference. but as of this time, wala pa rin gold ang Philippines..
