I don’t usually watch barangay tournament in our place maybe because its not my interest but still many folks have always been over gaga in some basketball tournament in their barangay like it seems a much awaited event to watch out for! My youngest brother has been a MVP of their league but later he stop playing in the tournament due to a certain fracture in his right legs.

It is not a question of the place which you are coming from but how you are playing. Basketball is my favorite game. I like it. My daughter represented Nationals also. Though she is short she plays extremely well. That is why she was selected. You could understand how much I like the game.

This is the game meant for quickness and mental alertness. One should keep on moving throughout the time and watch for the ball.

Your country is really doing a good effort.At the same time, the Government and people are also equally showing interest in improving their game.

Yes, taller than the Americans are playing today national basket ball tournament in Philippine with full zeal and zest among the national and international audience.

The tournament is now officially open for this year’s Mayor’s Cup Inter-Barangay Basketball. The Opening ceremony participated by 20 teams from the different barangays was held at the Villasis Gymnasium last March 28, 2015.

Sa mga officials and referees, tingnan mabuti ang bawat call para magkaroon tayo ng magandang laro.”

I totally agree with you on this though the title sounds a little bit harsh but there is a truth in all that you ha e said I especially think women are more susceptible to this toxins than men. I say this because we wome spend so much to get to look good others ask gightingvto keep young with all sorts of things and therapies. If you look at today’s woman we have so many chemicals in the lotions, creams, compact powders, hair fertilizers to grow the hair, we have makeups that have chemicals like mercury , lead and th3 like. And this arc the things that are causing so many people to become prone to cancer and other deadly diseases. When it comes to treatments everyone wants the east way out which at the end of the day is usually the longest and more painful. No one wants to go the detox way which wouldn’t take more than a week to go through and finish.so I think we all just have to accept and try to live pure and healthy life.

The chemicals are causing some health problems in our body through water; and now the best cure for this is also through water. What is the best thing to do? To protect and secure our water system. If we need to plant a tree, we should plant a tree to purify our waters. Trees are still the best natural purifiers rather than the machine.

What is the money used for? Is it donated to a charitable work?

Philippines has many king and queens maybe because it was a part of our tradition, of our cultural heritage, and of our interest that lives on even up to this day of the modern age of technology. As we look back in this past years, philippines has been dominated the beauty pageant around the world with their own unique beauty, to show the world that we are not only beautiful inside and out but we have the eyes to see people who are in want, to bring equality to all, and to inspire people to never give up and stop dreaming, to follow that dreams, and make that dreams into reality.

I have the same question as @Treathyl FOX has. What is the money for? Choosing a king and queen based on how much one collects does not seem to be a justification for that.

Ha ha, that is true, we are all king and queen to our own way. We are the royalties without the protocol and without the wealth.

We call kind of thing beauty contest and name it something like miss or Mr so and so naming them from where they come from. Some of the things you ha e mentioned are similar to what we do back in our country as well They ar3 usually asked questions regarding the place they come from and if the judge’s are happy with their answers then they ar3 crowned with a tiara for the girl with flowers and so on and so for the. Then a celebration follows.there after.

God bless people who do good works like this, and render acts of mercy and compassion. Some want to use the science of genetics to cure illnesses that are inherited, which is how it should be used to benefit humanity. Some people want to use genetics to develop what they call a “perfect race”. Who told them they have the correct definition of “perfect”? According to their definition, none of the children at an organization like this would have any value at all and could not possibly contribute to society. They would just be a “burden to society”. (I’ve heard people say this.) The work and results of organizations like Vidya Sagar show living proof against that ridiculous notion about the “perfect race”.
