The country has produced world-class athletes in many fields, with Manny Pacquaio included here with his sensational, record-breaking achievements in boxing that has given the Philippines great pride and honor. The roster of Filipino sports achievers is long, and in many fields, but the real work starts with the young, and providing the best possible support at the earliest time possible.
