TheAdamsonChronicle

The Autonomous and Official Student Publication of Adamson University does not, in the slightest, care for its Filipino athletes. The sorry plight of players has been severely normalized — so much that they don’t just compete in athletics, but also against a nonchalant government, if not selfserving.

It takes immense determination, sweat, and pride to represent the country on a global scale. The government must be involved in the preparation process — from proper funding of equipment, flights, and meals down to necessary training to secure victory.

Filipino athletes have more than just the potential to take medals home, which the government is quick to snatch, but never quick to give an ounce of financial support. They have failed at their jobs, perhaps purposefully.

Lest we forget, and if it isn’t obvious enough for the Philippine government: moral support alone cannot make an athlete win.

The Adamson Chronicle is the official Student

Publication of the Adamson University. It is an autonomous student organization and classified as a tertiary level student publication that aims to serve the University community, especially the students through the dissemination of relevant, reliable, and impartial information, and the advancement of civil liberties, social consciousness, nationalism, humanities, and Vincentian values through responsible campus journalism.
