@eyrisscoven @AzulaBlue3 true, wala namang sinabi si op na gilas. yung tinutukoy lang nya is how our government chooses to fund basket and vball. they did not say anything against the team

@AzulaBlue3 @httpsyuzuru may sinabi ba akong statement against gilas? 😭

oh michael martinez, if only the philippine government had supported you....

@httpsyuzuru he had SO much potential, mastering a 3A all on his own and his flexibility was unreal. the PH gov is horrible at supporting athletes, in 2024 our golfers had to patch flags on jackets they bought out of pocket to compete bc the gov didn’t send them official jackets

it's legit heartbreaking that we've never had another notable filipino figure skater on the olympic stage after michael martinez
he was truly the first and last of his kind

Being a fan of his since 2014 (and now a friend) made me privy to his struggles, and when I say I am so mad at the higher ups in PH sports bodies (esp PH/SU) I mean it. I’m glad he’s gonna compete for fun and for himself this year 🥹

@httpsyuzuru If only he had more than enough funds AND never got injury... He could have competed with Yuzuru in Beijing 2022

As a fan and ex-journo who covered his journey since 2014 (and happy to say a friend), there's a reason I cuss out and have nothing nice to say about the sport's governing body and all the entities who have failed him. But I love that he's coming back on his terms this time 🩵

@sta1r5tothemoon i'm so sorry you had to experience that. but yeah, you're right. if only our government supported sports outside basketball and volleyball, imagine how much achievements we could've had
English
as an (former) ph athlete i absolutely detest the govt attitude to sports outside of basketball

@httpsyuzuru all the funds went to basketball and the corrupt gov's pockets
English
@giyeoumi all because the government solely focused on basketball and volleyball. they failed to see the massive potential martinez had. it doesn't just only apply to him, but also to other filipino athletes who are shunned because it's not basketball nor volleyball
English
@httpsyuzuru his mom had to mortgaged their house for sochi, and used sell different products to fund his training expenses. it got to a point where he have to post a gofundme typeshi so he could compete in Beijing, in which he withdrew later on due to an injury 🙁
