Philippine Sports Satire: Philippine Dragon Boat dominate Worlds without Government Support

[mokiloo]

Basin siguro bweset ang funding or support gikan sa gobyerno or anything that has something to do with Philippine Government.
Just an amusing thought lang ha coz I myself di ko mu tu-u ug bweset, bad or good luck

So I checked the news archives and learned the team was disqualified by the POC because they were simply too fast.

There was a trial held in October for the November Asiad, a trial that shouldn’t have been necessary since the team was a world champion. But still, they went through the whole charade and proceeded to smash the qualifying times. The men’s 200m team timed 41.88, beating the POC qualifying time of 47.74; The ladies team clocked 46.85, beating the time of 49.07.

So if they beat the times, they should have made the Asiad, right?

No, and that’s where everything gets confusing.

There were accusations of a rigged qualifier and that the qualifying times were simply too fast to be true. The POC guy who oversaw the qualifiers even reported to his bosses that “our paddlers were super men and women, or were on super steroids.”

POC chairman called the 5 gold medalist dragonboaters AMPAO! how can someone put this tactless and ungrateful person as chairman. imagine a Filipino insulting his fellow Filipino who made an incredible feat. he is no different from those who accused our heroes of using steroids. shame on you!
