BASKETBALL, our national sport, suffered a loss to Indonesia in the Vietnam SEA Games. Unforgivable? For the very first time ever in SEA Games history, we lost. That hurts. This is what our people remember. Not just the other medals. It's like losing in their national sport football for the people of Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and the rest. Nothing else matters. I have a long and close relationship with MVP, Ricky Vargas, Al Panlilio, and SBP, so I need to say more. Back to the drawing board. Mabuhay pa rin si MVP for enduring these fiascos all these years.
