My nephew loves soccer but it’s not the main priority also here in my country. Basketball and volleyball are famous here with several companies that sponsor the athletes. The government are also supportive with athletes that play outside the country to represent the Philippines. Not just the country but the entire people of the country.

The parents are right in there. They just want what is best for their children when they grow up and when time comes that they have their own families.

The government there should ammend a law where the soccer athletes should get a monthly salary they deserve, just like the regular salary of the professionals, with a lot of benefits like retirement fee, pension, insurance and etc. If it’ll happen, the parents would be very supportive of the passion of their children.
