A few people criticized this article when it initially came out with what was seen as rather personal attacks on the page and writers.

With Pinoyathletics strongly retaliating with this statement.

One Person even asks why we are posting something which is not a good performance.

Well, to answer that, we can’t always win gold.

And there are very few videos of Philippine Athletics from the pre-internet age.

So anything we can find we will share, whether good or bad.

People’s opinions on what we post are up to them.

But we report the news.

‘

Please note. In our group rules. We will and have ban anyone who gives unuseful non constructive comments which are personal attacks. To be honest if people dont like what we post GO AND FIND YOUR INFORMATION SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN.

;
I’ve already changed the title to reflect that before some people commented. A mistake was made and then corrected. Who honestly can say they dont make mistakes. GET OVER IT!

Marcus Tabanyag I’m glad that this video was made available for us to see our former athletes in action…win or lose.

For me what’s important was that we fielded a 4-member team which was evidently quite difficult at that time, even for the other SEA countries.

That year in May 1993 at Manila our team achieved the still existing Philippine record of 3:40.9 (Muros, Balatucan, Sinoro, de Vega).

;

Our representatives obviously did not break that record in Singapore, the video did not show their time…maybe its a different line-up…maybe the homecourt advantage of the Manila record…maybe the 2 teams were just too strong.

;

BUT we participated…hopefully got a respectable time…doing their best inspite of everything…we just need to cheer…even these past efforts…they represented our country…no matter what.
