We have TFC here in the apartment but most of the time, I avoid watching TV Patrol.   It’s so depressing to hear the same bad news again - proven corrupt but never punished government officials, robberies, accidents, swine flu, etc.  But I’m glad I tuned in to TV Patrol today because…

1. I learned that the Philippine Dragon Boat team won in the 8th World Dragon Boat Championship held in Australia. The team don’t have much financial support that they had difficulty raising the money to defend the title this year in Prague. Good thing the sports stepped up to pay for the airfare. Last year, they even brought rice and canned goods in Australia because they don’t have enough food allowance.
2. Six year-old Stephen Rome Pangilinan of Milo Checkmate Philippines, won first place in the Susan Polgar under eight-year-old division.

I salute you guys for still doing your best despite the circumstances, and for bringing glory to our country!

I am guilty of leaving the country to look for greener pastures.  But I think this shouldn’t stop me and the rest of the OFWs for doing something for the Philippines.  Every Filipino, no matter where he may be, always has an opportunity of showing his love for the country.
