What is it with Filipinos that could not compete and qualify with the most popular and most common sports available in the country. Track and Field, Cycling, BMX, Badminton, and so many ball games just to name a few. Philippines is surrounded by water and nobody knows any water sports that the Olympics would qualify, that's just ironic. Philippines, a couple of times on the other hand would send somebody to play Fencing (well its probably a sport that we play a lot in school that's why Filipinos are very good at it). And to add to this argument Richard Gomez (country's famous actor) was sent to compete. I guess he started playing the sport when he was at least 10 years old, that's why he is really good at it (lol).

Budget is not an excuse here since these are not expensive sports.

This is just mind boggling.
