hail to our athletes

The SEA Games last November-December gave me the oppurtunity to flex my muscle on shooting sporting events. The last time I shot a sporting event was during my high school years when we won the championship. And I was using film then.

The Women's Footaball competition was successfully held at Marikina. A great number came to watch the match, especuially with the Philippines playing.

The team had help from some Filipinos who lived abroad and practically had played the game in international setting.

Photo above shows Angeline Impelido scoring a goal here in their match against Myanmar. Her goal tied the match 1-1, but Myanmar prevailed with the score 3-1.

The Women's Football team for the past SEA Games had been throughly outmatched against out SouthEast Asian rivals but they looked competitive and burned with desire especially playing in front of a home crwod.
