This is not about the blame game. Rather, it is a side -- but nonetheless very important -- issue highlighted by the incident post our Gilas Pilipinass loss to Qatar in the mens basketball event of this 2014 Asian Games. This is really more on semantics, and our Pinoy sense of identity. Coach Chot Reyess (fulfilled) threat that well go all-Filipino is a misnomer and discriminatory, as even center Marcus Douthit is Filipino -- by virtually of naturalization. (Remember?) [...] In the spirit of internationalism, the profession and acquisition of national citizenship have gone beyond the realm of legalities, even more than the issue of blood. Ultimately, it is a matter of puso -- and soul. This is posted during the half-time of todays match between Gilas Pilipinas and the Kazakhstan national team. Good luck, Gilas! #GilasPilipinas #2014AsianGames
