China wins the hosting rights of the 2019 FIBA World Cup. Judging from the final video presentations alone, China truly deserves to win over the Philippines.
I am truly shocked that SBP, under the leadership of Manny V. Pangilinan, submitted a final video presentation that is so bereft of substance and ability to inspire and excite. The video is so ill-researched, ill-conceived and fails to capture the essence of the Filipino spirit for the sport of basketball.
Perhaps, the Philippine contingent relied heavily on its close ties with Patrick Baumann to win. Thus, the amateurish final video presentation. China, on the other hand, relied on its track record of hosting major international tournaments. The final video presentation of China truly excites the audience to go to China and witness the biggest sporting event for basketball.
What I am truly sad is that the Philippine contingent does not seem to know the international standards for excellence. The concept of "puso" can only go so far. The Philippines must strive to meet international standards to be taken seriously.
Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon, puso and dapat pairalin.
