August 28, 2008
As I watch the news today, I learned that the Oscar de la Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao fight is officially on. I’ve been monitoring this match up since it started from rumors, then the talks about stipulations, the contract, the rumors that is will not push through.

New Olympic events for GRP
August 28, 2008
In the midst of finger-pointing and the blame game, it’s back to square one for Team Philippines as the debacle in Beijing takes center stage at next week’s sports summit of sports leaders.
I strongly suggest that the country, aka GRP (to align with GB, host of the 2012 Games), concentrate in the following events where I am certain our sports leaders can easily take podium positions:
The Economics behind Olympic Medals
August 27, 2008
Finally, the 2008 Olympic Games have come to an end. We can all go back to our normal and boring lives. But before we forget about Michael Phelps, the Bird’s Nest, and the Chinese prostitutes complaining about bad business, lets look at the final standings of the top four countries.
China has the most gold medals with 51. They garnered a total of 100 medals, second only to the United States. Second is the USA which collected 36 gold medals but garnered 110 medals all in all. Third place goes to Russia with 72 medals, 23 of which are gold. Great Britain received 47 medals, 19 of which are gold.
I know what you’re thinking. What does this got to do with economics? Well, a professor from Colorado College named Daniel Johnson tried to predict the outcome of the Beijing Games.

Why we broke at the Olympics
August 25, 2008
Our failure at the Beijing Summer Olympics has received differing reactions both across the mainstream media and the blogosphere, prominent views amongst them are those which express dismay and blame the athletes for being either too confident or underestimating to the significance of rigorous practice.
Mind me, sports in the Philippines really took a dwindling status since the day it became one of the avenues of politicking including public relations, promotion of personalities, betting and gambling, and electioneering. Sports is being used as an instrument of blowing the egos of politicos stuffin’ our athletes with promises of material wealth and yes, for the love of money everything became commercialized from basketball to boxing, the reason why the Philippines cannot erect a monument of prominence in the world of the best sporting nations.
On Solar Sports I watched a teary athlete from our Olympic contingent complain that he was not given enough attention during his preparations. It is true that they were trained just months before the Games (Philippines Sports Commission Chairman Butch Ramirez admitted it), something quite portending of the results when compared to countries whose athletes had already been training for the events more than three years earlier. Worse, the Olympian said that he practiced in irregular periods with non-permanent trainors and monitormen, reflecting the situation of our delegates whose needs in the field were not given immediate support. They were treated insignificantly and left to themselves like hens expected to lay golden eggs after some time. Our strategies are very far from other nations’ which study with close scrutiny the performance of their players during practice, providing proper recommendations and additional facilities to improve them whenever necessary. It doesn’t need much money because the right mind would no doubt apply improvisation, as what contingents from poor countries in Africa and South America did which led them to exceptional successes that even broke records.[continue reading]

Sunday quiz 6
August 17, 2008
When the Swede wrestler protested his defeat and refused his bronze medal at the podium last Thursday, his anger was directed at the “bunch of fatsos” at the judges table.
Perhaps unknown to him, however, it that the medal is not just bronze, or gold and silver. The Chinese hosts have incorporated jade in the reverse side of the medals, thus, making the medals an unprecedented piece of jewelry. And to host China and to many Asian countries, jade represents “honor and virtue.” My own necklace and ring are both made of this “stone of heaven.”
