"Enriching sports development beyond diversity, history will transcend..." (adapted from the Kalilangan GenSan festival's theme)
I was never into sports when I was a child. Believe it or not, my sports when I was in elementary was Patintero and Piko, if that would be considered sports. Even when I became a parent, I didn't put much emphasis on having my kids pushed into seriously be a part of any sports. Though I did enroll them in swimming lessons, I did not really give deeper thoughts on sending them to any sports events. Though my eldest, Darren have the capability to be one- graduating as an MVP for Water Polo at their school's meet- I just let him be, without any pressure whether he would want to continue it in college or not. Maybe I lack something as a parent, maybe he could be one of those participants I came to witness at the Lingayen Palarong Pambansa, maybe something could have motivated or unmotivated him not to be that determined.
