Filipino Winter Olympian's family mortgaged home for ticket to Sochi

[King LeBron]

Guys as per inquirer.net news today, Martinez got financial assistance from SM thru facilitation of Phil. Sports Commision. Win or lose Mr. Martinez has already made our country proud with his determination and perseverance.

hahahaha and why is it Michael himself was saying otherwise?!

palusot ra nang ni-facilitate para sad maka-ingon ang mga tawo nga naa silay nabuhat! pffffttt!



Interviewer: Did you get support from the Philippine government?

Michael: "I don't get any support from the government yet!"

LONG Live the Philippines!!

Note: That interview happened way back Nov. 2013.... Kabantay mo wala jud siya ma-headline ana iyang interview since it happened? Karon lang kay hapit na ang event ug gi-report sa Rappler ang pag-mortgage sa ilang balay? hahahaha

maypang sm ni hatag ug 1m pero ang taga phil. sports 250k ra intawn asa nman tawn ang supporta ani oi...kanyahay rang wala tay klarong medal makuha sa mga games kay walay supporta..m

Wa na kasuporta ang office of the president boss kay naa pay TRO ang DAP... LOL!

I wonder how in the world our National Sports Commission missed this... This is like the 1988 Jamaican Bobsleigh team.. A tropical country competing in winter olympics!

This is a proud moment for us filipinos! Well not for some seating on those government offices!!!
