The Mentality that leads to Zero Medals for the Philippines

Why The

Has No

I made up this quiz a couple of years ago. I dare anybody ask these questions to the majority of this nation and get something more substantive . You give this quiz to the typical Pinoy and the only question they will get right is basketball. The majority have not heard of ESPN nor would they care if they did. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but don't whine about not placing top 3 in the world every four years. This is indicative of the consciousness of this culture. It is what is. By itself there is nothing wrong with that. How anybody expects the culture to produce world class competitors in sports they do not have a clue about is beyond lunacy. We don't care in years not divisible by four yet we will belly ache when we get goose egged during the Olympic years. We get what we deserve based on what we put in. Olympics when done right (without chemists) can teach us all one thing. There is no instant gratification. Maybe all the people here expecting medals but only know basketball can learn that.
