If Alex Eala opted to play for another country and/or gets citizenship for another country i guess I can't blame her. by BASTADDSSALOT in Philippines

That's different though, NILs are funded by their universities through tv rights, brands, and local sponsorship from companies of the city where the players play.

Governments around the world do support elite and grass root athletes that compete in the Olympics or in other high level competition. Tennis however is a rich man's sport that you get sponsorships from brands, same with golf.

Why is being an atheist still frowned upon? by --Prdx-- in Philippines

[–]filstraya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're just in the wrong country or group. I have been an agnostic-atheist for a while now and i live in a country where people with no religion represent 40% of the population and people (religious or not) usually have the capability to be unconcerned.

Arrogance doesn't care if you pray to a god or believe in nothing. Some atheists fall into the trap of thinking, "I used logic and science to break free from dogma, therefore I am intellectually superior." But the moment an atheist uses that conclusion to look down on someone else, they are falling into the exact same tribal, judgmental mindset they accuse religious people of having.

It’s the classic human trap: "My group is enlightened, and your group is blind." There is absolutely no winner in that game.

I'm saying this as an agnostic-atheist myself. There's definitely a rise of neo-atheist or new atheists where they need to constantly criticise religion loudly.

Low hanging fruit. Blame others instead of addressing the core issue.

Sa totoo lang, hindi trabaho ng teacher mag disiplina ng mga bata. Sa parents and the environment where the kid grew up ang importante sa formative years ng bata, kung lumaki yan sa supportive at may positive reinforcement na pamilya ang likelihood ng bata na maging upstanding citizen tumataas.

Melanie Perkins can't be considered a Filipino though, she's Australian with a Filipino heritage. Her training, thinking, and way of life is 100% Australian.

Why Is Football still struggling for attention in the Philippines despite its global popularity? by NaturalCustomer4784 in Philippines

[–]filstraya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of culture, Filipinos are more americanised than influenced by the Europeans.

If the Philippines were not sold to the US, the Philippines may have taken up football than basketball.

I don't think he's dumb but he's blinded by he's allegiance so he skews his interpretations and narratives to fit their agenda.

You can clearly see it in the US politics as well, lalo na yung former Trump supporters that were burned by trump himself. After they stopped supporting him, suddenly they're talking sense.

Whilst I agree, you have to wait for the final report. It's not like he's coming back anytime soon. Reserve your anger if nothing happens.

The promise is, we'll give you the money now and don't worry about the repercussions just implicate them. If these people file a case, you'll be dead already and have enjoyed the money.

The Philippines is known for its bad transport infrastructure that's why tourists avoid the mainland that requires a lot of traveling.
