EP 47: The State of Philippine Sports

The state of the nation is strong all thanks to Filipina Olympian Hidilyn Diaz.

With every once of grit and determination, she lifted the whole country when she hoisted all of those 224 kilograms… in the Tokyo Olympics breaking Philippine and Olympic records.

The 4-time Olympian  will be coming home to a hero’s welcome, she did after all, ended an almost century-old wait for that elusive gold medal.

Behind the celebration though is a sector badly beaten and bruised - by politics and power play, inequitable distribution of funding and exposure and were going to talk about all that.
