… when most Pinoys are bansot? I mean, let’s face it, what match can you be against the US Dream Team, or even the ballers from Argentina or mother Spain? Why push for basketball when we can be something in football: soccer! I know, there are times when height does not matter (like in the case of my cousin who went Pro standing at 5’6″ only), but for us to be competitive enough in basketball (Olympics 2012), height is a thing to consider. Don’t tell me that there’s a handfull of Fil-Am (sham) players ready to be fielded — an All Filipino basketball team is an ideal one.

To the RP government: Go SOCCER! Forget basketball. Our gold lies in football.
