2016 RIO OLYMPICS - GOOD LUCK TO THE FILIPINO ATHLETES

As the games officially start today and the games officially open in a few days, I would like to extend my good luck to the 12 hero Filipino Olympians this year who braved the risk of Zika virus and will carry our flag in this year's competition.

Hope this is the year we end our 20 year medal drought. Do your best and may you take home a medal, what ever color it is.

Laban Pilipinas!
