There is a running joke I read somewhere that perfectly describes an aspect of Filipino culture: we are united during two situations, one is during international pageants and another when our national team is playing on the world stage.
Filipinos are considered as some of the most passionate sports fans in the world especially when basketball and boxing are concerned. The recent years also saw the rise of fame for Philippine volleyball and football as well as weightlifting courtesy of Hidilyn Diaz’s silver Olympic medal (a first in 20 years). Every month, it’s not exaggerated to say that there is a sports event to look forward, thus, conversations about favorite local teams and athletes are staple in every nook and cranny of our country.
This 2019 can be considered as a big sports year for Filipinos because the 30th Southeast Asian Games will be hosted by the Philippines. Happening on November 30 to December 11, world-class players from the current 11 countries of Southeast Asia will gather here in our native soil to compete for the coveted podium finishes.
