    Diving is another event that we should try to excel in. Pingpong. Meron bang billiards?

    Yes they said it right. Only in the governance of President Duterte where Filipino have high hopes for their dreams.

  19. Jeremiah M_ on August 29, 2022 at 2:01 am

  25. FloridaIndependent on August 29, 2022 at 2:07 am

    It’s actually not drought. It’s an ultimate vaccuum. Thanks to Hidilyn’s sacrifices!!!!!

  26. srg mag on August 29, 2022 at 2:11 am

    Ano ba namang klaseng mentalidad meron yang mga officials natin especially si Mr. Puentevella? Napakababa ng confidence sa mga atleta natin at sukat ba namang sabihin na tsamba lng pagkapanalo ni hidilyn s rio olympics? HARDWORK, AMBITION AT DETERMINATION PO MGA SIRS, kaya may isang hidilyn diaz ang nakakapanalo ng medalya! Palibhasa hindi kayo mga atleta. Dapat kayo pa ang greatest motivators nila hindi yung parang may 2nd thoughts pa kayo sa kung ano ang kaya nilang gawin.

  27. GayMer on August 29, 2022 at 2:11 am

    Magkaka gold tayo hindi lang isa kundi tatlo! Balikan nyo ako dito sa comment nato.

    Bakit noong nagpapraktis walang tulong mula sa gobyerno pero nang Manalo ang daming tulong hindi katulad ng ibang bansa may suporta
