Part 1

LET me be clear from the get-go. I love the Philippines. I always have; from the day I first arrived in 2006 as CEO of Procter and Gamble. I believe in sports as a nation-building tool. So, I strongly support and endorse efforts for Filipino teams and athletes to win on the global stage. I cried for joy when Hidilyn Diaz won Gold in Tokyo; and I cried for joy when EJ Obiena won Silver in last year's World Championships in athletics. I hence fully support reaching into the wide diaspora of Filipinos to find and recruit talent. No issue at all.
