Jess Garcia,
For so many of us here in the US following up on the progress of the games. Here is the count we have been tracking:
Final Count:. Medal Count Phil; zero. Phil-Am; 1 Gold 1 Silver 3 Bronze
You are so right in the reasons you had listed why the Phil was zeroed in Beijing. Don't you think the country felt shame in the showing? In US we still have our Phil-Ams that made the medals to console us in the Phil agony of defeat one more time.
Let's get some solutions for the next games and put those intended Arroyo million pesos reward in your lessons learned to use.
Right idea but not big

Governor Espino has the right idea in purchasing six buses and a van designed for tourists. Pangasinan has many places of beauty and historical value and these busses will make them more accessible to visitors.
His only mistake is that he is thinking of local, i.e. provincial, and not international tourists. A good impression by one tourist can multiply which means more foreign currency to the locals.
Again, let's hear it for the Guv. He has the right idea but it is not big enough.
