Hosting Rights

So the Philippines lost the hosting rights for the 2019 World Cup of basketball to China. We might as well go to China because they host everything. I am just kidding. Because they won it fair and square. What the PH should learn from this is that babies crawl before they learn to walk.

Okay so that means the baby steps is that to host minor tournaments and when you are ready and qualified, then you have the better chance of hosting major events.

Like in the Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) is the basic international tournament this side of the world. Are the venues prepared? What have you been doing to ease the traffic? What are the measures you doing to modernize the woeful internet speed which is valuable for international media people?

Now you know why you lost the bid okay?


The airport should also be easily accessible which is not the case here. Unless you have your own transpo or you get a taxi cab. My suggestion is the government gets a foreign consultant because they been there, done that. We cannot just copy the schemes of neighboring countries because we have a different situation. 

I have a suggestion. It is way easier to build from scratch than to repair and renovate an existing problem. Outside Metro Manila are developing cities. We choose the best city to develop infrastructure built to sustain the estimated population of a capital city. We can also go to the Visayas and Mindanao. 

First step is we accept that Metro Manila is not designed for a big population. So we will have acceptance. The next step is to find a suitable place to design and plan.

How about hosting the X-Games though? I like the speed climbing the best because of the dino jump. Dino as in a dinosaur? Can a dinosaur climb at least? I think it should be called a cat jump. The boulder climb is also interesting because it is like solving a problem. I also like to see the big airs in the bmx, skate boards and roller blades categories. Guys like The Condor, The Canadian Beast, Dave Mirra, Tony Hawk are the best.
