With the resurgence of football in the Philippines, interest will pick up especially among parents to have their kids learn about the beautiful game.
Hopefully, this would help in pointing them to the right direction.

Good to see news about the grassroots program. Need to have consistent programs like this every year, every season. Returns won't be realized for many years, but if this continues all the time and in all regions in the Philippines, no doubt the Philippines will continue to move up the rankings. |
