Philippines offers $220,000 for first gold - The Philippine government and the private sector are offering $220,000 to any athlete who brings home the country's first-ever Olympic gold medal. The Philippines has not won an Olympic gold since its first games, at Paris in 1924. The most recent medal of any color was silver in boxing in Atlanta in 1996.
If the USA can enter Pro NBA athletes to represent their country in the game of basketball, why can't the Philippines enter Manny Pacquiao for boxing? Just a thought. I would be honored to represent my country in the olympics. Unfortunately, I have to lose a lot of weight first!
