SPORTS HERO ALEX EALA PULLED IT ANEW—TAKES OUT PHILIPPINES MOMENTARILY FROM POLITICAL QUANDARY, EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS TO ANOTHER SPORT’S HISTORY
Congratulations to Philippines' new tennis hero Alex Eala, as well as to her parents, family and tennis team. Indeed, all your hardwork and determination pulled off. Yes, the Miami Open is not yet over, but you have proven yourself time and again that nothing is impossible when you dream and you’re working hard for it. Your impressive victory against the world No.2 Iga Swiatek at the Miami Open was a testament to that.
Because of your relentless drive, Filipinos right now could once more see and wave our flag with pride knowing that the 19 year old Eala is once more making a mark in tennis history ot just for herself but for the country, as well.
And as the first quarter of the 2025 wind up, where political turmoil and scandal is beaming for Filipinos not just locally but also internationally due to the issues of crimes against humanity being charged against ex-president Rodrigo Duterte, and political division as an offshoot of the breakup of Marcos-Duterte’s UniTeam. By the way, the UniTeam was created in 2022 aimed to secure the victory of then presidential and vice presidential candidates Ferdinand Marcos Jr and Sara Duterte. But for some reasons the political team drifted apart throwing allegations versus President Marcos as an addict and incapable, as well as the threat to assassinate the First Couple including House Speaker Martin Romualdez, as well as to dig up the grave of former president Marcos Sr and throw it to the sea.
Meanwhile the Vice President Office's use of intelligence funds has been questioned, VP Sara now is subjected to an impeachment case, while political supporters of the Duterte’s were being linked to various illegal offshore gaming in the country, kidnapping and other crimes. And the most recent development was the detention of ex-president Duterte after he was said to have been state kidnapped as alleged by ex-president Duterte’s children.
And what further stirs the political climate in the country these days as midterm elections are now in full swing is the rampant spread of FAKE NEWS especially in the social media. The pro-DU30 camp are alleging that the arrest of the older Duterte was planned to cover up the detention of the First Lady in the United States following the death of Paolo Tantoco who was part of Mrs. Marcos’ US entourage.
Therefore, Alex Eala’s series of victories in this ongoing Miami Open is truly a big relief not just for our beloved Alex but also to the Filipino community as well, here and abroad. Noting the rift between these two powers has been pulling the Filipinos down, when in truth, there are other more pressing concerns and problems to address, and there are more meaningful and worthy leaders that should be given the seats that these two top leaders have taken over.
