Basketball and building wealth in the Philippines



Before anything else, let me make it clear: I love basketball. I play the game 3x a week. It is one of my greatest passions in life. However, i feel time is beginning to catch up on me. One day soon, i'll be saying goodbye to the sport. But not before i give the Filipino youngsters out there a piece of my mind. 

"one of my personal joys"
The Pinoy male reader will definitely relate to this post. The female ones, my apologies if you cannot. 

Something’s really wrong with the below scenario:

Almost everyday at around 3pm, a group of  basketball playing guys travel to an unfamiliar barangay to look for worthy opponents. This is called “dayo”, in street language. Normally, the hosts (the ones dinayo) would agree to play but with a bet, to which the visitors (the dayo) accept as this is their intention in the first place – to try to win games so as to bring home cash.

So the exciting game begins.
