I must have spoken too soon. A few weeks ago, I wrote a story on President’s Duterte’s first 100 years in office to the effect that winds of change finally beacons for Philippine sports following six years of neglect under the watch of former Chief of State Benigno Simeon Aquino III. This was so, I reported, after PRRD, upon assumption of the highest seat of the government and, to my thinking moved by lady weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz’s silver medal performance in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, issued marching orders after another to his newly appointed members of he board of the Philippine Sports Commission in his initial effort to remedy the seemingly dying state of sports in this shore.
