Nothing is impossible

Last year the Philippine won an Olympic medal for the first time. In 20 years. Hidilyn Diaz, a 25-year old weightlifter from Zamboanga, won the silver medal in Brazil for the 53-kilogram weight division.

Much like our Pambansang Kamao, Senator Manny Pacquiao, sports allowed Hidilyn to dream big and hope for the better. At such a young age she understood that sports could be a way to overcome her family’s poverty.

Ifugao named most clean and green delegation
