ANG FAVORITE PROJECT NI SK.

Gilas Pilipinas was overwhelmed by Australia.

This is not an attack on the players. They wore the flag on their chest and gave what they had. Anyone who has represented the country deserves respect.

But at some point, we have to ask difficult questions.

For generations, basketball has been treated as our national obsession. We build courts in nearly every barangay, pour resources into youth programs. We send teams to training camps, like Aurora. Every loss is met with another promise that next time will be different.

Yet our greatest achievement on the world stage remains a bronze medal at the 1954 FIBA World Championship. More than seven decades later, it is still the best finish by any Asian nation in the tournament’s history. We have celebrated regional success, but the breakthrough against the world’s traditional basketball powers continues to elude us.

Meanwhile, look at where Filipinos have already conquered the world.

Manny Pacquiao.

Hidilyn Diaz. Carlos and Eldrew Yulo. EJ Obiena.

Alex Eala.

These athletes didn’t just participate. They proved Filipinos can stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s best.

Imagine if those sports received the same level of investment, media attention, grassroots development and national obsession that basketball has enjoyed for decades.

This isn’t about abandoning basketball.

It’s about broadening our ambitions.

I’ll still cheer for Gilas. I’ll still shout “Laban!” every time they step onto the court.

But perhaps it’s time we shouted just as loudly for the athletes who have already shown us another path to greatness. | Carl Magadia
