'Nameless' fans celebrating Gilas' triumph (FIBA) By Riera U. Mallari OUTSIDE the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the heavens cried as monsoon
OUTSIDE the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the heavens cried as monsoon rains battered the metro. Inside the Big Dome, however, was jubilation as Gilas Pilipinas whipped up a storm to pound a hapless Chinese team in a game of basketball in front of an exuberant crowd of 11 thousand.
Nini watched Gilas’ first four games in his almost wornout OPPO phone, using the wifi password of his neighbor. He had no subscription to the Pilipinas Live app licensed to stream the games of the World Cup, but there was always the “colorum” streaming service that gives shout-outs to top GCash donors.
But tonight, he decided he had to see his idol and doppelganger Rhenz Abando play. His girlfriend wanted to come along, but raising a thousand bucks was a challenge. And so she decided to stay home to watch the game on her phone using the neighbor’s wifi. Nini, in a way, represented thousands, perhaps millions of other Filipino fans, frustrated at Gilas’ winless campaign in this year’s biggest basketball stage – they’re hurt, but they plod on.
