The Philippines did not do well in the recently concluded Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) held last November 11 to 22 in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia. The Philippines finished 6th in the medal standings and were aiming to get at least 3rd with only 36 gold medals, 56 silver and 77 bronze medals.
But despite the not so good performance still all the Filipino athletes who participated deserves to be commended. I would even love to see them receive plaques or certificates for all their efforts. This way they will be inspired and determined to still join and even do better next time.Hopefully the government and other sporting organizations in the country will now come up with better programs, training facilities and financial support our athletes needs. We expect them to bring home gold medals but we fail to give them the proper tools for them to do so. What a shame!
