Philippines takes stock

I lived in the Philippines for a good number of years.

The athletes they have are very promising but are very much underfunded.

I remember some overcrowding issues- some olympic team members would end up sleeping in the bathrooms/ empty halls of the training facilities. There was also the problem of malnourishment. I remember my Judo coach telling me stories of how the Phil. judo team would live off of instant noodles.
