                    [Summary] => A medal for every two Olympics.


Based on facts, this is the Philippines’ batting average when it comes to the number of participation and medals won in the quadrennial event. And the Filipinos hope to improve on this when they see action in Athens, Greece this August.


Since the Olympics began in 1896, the Philippines, a small nation with a big appetite for sports, has participated in a total of 17 times and only has nine medals tucked under its belt — two silvers and seven bronzes.

                    [Summary] => 

Saying sports is not politics, President Estrada asked sports leaders to leave
politics to politicians in his message as the sporting community honored the
best and brightest Filipino athletes - past and present - during the Philippine
Sportswriters Association Awards Night Friday at the Holiday Inn Manila.

"(The President) is distressed that it is not only our athletes who are engaged
in competition, but even our sports leaders. It is easy to say that this is but
part of politics and rivalries in leadership.
