14th AASM Annual Conference And The Future of Sports in the PH

Sports is something Filipinos are passionate about but seems to have a lot of challenges to achieve in succeeding in international events like the Olympics. Yes, we do have world champions from time to time, but we never had a Olympic gold medal ever. What is lacking with Pinoy sports aside from infrastructure is management which involves not only athlete affairs but also the underlying economics and potential that has not yet tapped locally.

For the first time, the Philippines will be hosting the AASM's 14th annual conference at the De La Salle University Taft campus in Manila from August 2 to 4, 2018. Organized by the Asian Association of Sport Management (AASM), in cooperation with Sport Management Council of the Philippines (SportPhil) and the De La Salle University-Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business (DLSU-RVRCOB).

Thank You Mom, You Are My IDOL

Everyone needs someone to look up to, a model that we mimic our actions and mold us to what we will be and lead us to what would be the best for us. We are looking for an IDOL where we get our inspiration. Before we knew the beautiful and wild world, we had our first Idol, and we call her mother. In my case I grew to call her "mama" and others call her "Josie".

Mama Josie was the youngest of the three sisters and learned to stand up on her own at a young age, as their family were not that financially stable, in which only one of them finished college with the help of my mother as she goes to many "rakets" to bring food to the table and help my aunt finish her studies.


With the people she meets everyday, her eyes was opened into the vast opportunities and the love of travel. She would go out with friends and go on trips from Baguio to Albay, then hop on a ship to Cebu and also got a roundtrip ticket to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia without sending a cent. She was indeed charismatic, she has the gift of persuastion as well a fiesty attitude when oppressed. A strong woman she grew after she was left with her first son (my eldest brother Jeffrey) and raise him on her own.
