still on the olympics

The government has promised to give P15-M to the first Filipino Olympic gold medalist. They say that the amount could increase, because people are just waiting to dole out some more once the coveted medal is snatched.

Let's assume the reward could reach P20-M. If people including the government are this willing to part away with their money, why, in God's name, could they not instead use the amount to fund the training of, let's say, 20 swimmers from the moment they are born till they reach puberty age and ripe enough to join the Olympics? I can only hazard a guess.

Filipinos dislike to wait. They lack the patience to train and produce world class athletes. They want instant gratification. Sigurista.
