Filipinos are slowly making our mark on global competitions. We have many great names in different sports events that the world will never forget. With great names like Manny Pacquiao, undoubtedly the greatest pound for pound boxer of all time, Efren “Bata”Reyes also dubbed as the Magician with his unbelievable skills and trick shots on the pool table. Filipinos definitely know how to compete and carve our marks on the global stage. With the slogan “Puso! Laban Pilipinas”, Filipino athletes can never be set aside by anyone.
