Based on the budget reportedly approved by President Arroyo and the gold medal prediction of the country’s top sports leaders, this is basically how much each gold medal in the forthcoming Vietnam SEA Games would be worth for the Philippine government.

The President, in a big show of support to the coming RP campaign, the other day was said to have approved a huge P111 million budget for the actual participation of the 449 athletes and 209 officials in the biennial event scheduled Dec. 5 to 12.

"Nobody among us owns a brand new car," said PSC spokesperson Arsenic Lacson, who drives a 1998 CRV, which he acquired late last year.
