After a disappointing loss in 8-ball finals, Antonio “Ga-Ga” Gabica finally secured Philippine’s first gold medal in the 15th Asian Games in Doha Qatar after winning the 9-ball finals against fellow Filipino Jeffrey De Luna.
Our boxing bets Violito Payla and Joan Tipon also reached the finals of their respective divisions. I’m really happy and proud with our boxers despite of the BIG BLUNDER by our sport officials. Imagine this… our boxers need to share same pair of shirt and short!
Well, that is how our RESPECTABLE sport officials work. Why Philippines weren’t able to join basketball? Ask the “TWO” basketball associations… get the point?
Sigh* sigh* sigh*
Anyway, our Wushu team is also doing well and they are expected to win more gold for the Philippines.
