Proud to be Pinoy at the world cup

Yes it was thrill of a lifetime to culminate the Spain World cup with finally a win.  One of the highlights of the trip was meeting Filipino fans from over the world, who all gathered in Seville for the same purpose to support our Gilas team.  It was a melting pot of the Filipino global community, for once we were all one, whether you were a Conglomerate lie MVP or a domestic helper in Madrid, for 6 trilling days we were all in the same boat rooting for one team.  It’s interesting the dynamics of how you interacted with your fellow kababayans suddenly changed when you meet in a foreign land. (it was like us against the world) ,  It didn’t matter if I was talking to chairman of the PBA , Pat Gregorio or socialising  with a Filipino Madrid domestic helper, A well know local actress like Dina Bonnevie or the player stars themselves with their bueutifull wives,  it was all the same , there were no barriers.  That watering hole across the street from the San Pablo Pabillion was a testament to this, here we were 100’s of pinoy’s jockeying to get a beer or Tapa from a local equivalent of a turo turo store.  Whether domestic helper or chariman made no difference we didn’t care at all. Because for that one week , we were all for one goal.  That moment never made me prouder to be a Filipino.
