DAKILANG BALLER. Why Basketball? Why not?

Hello ballers! I am Dakilang Baller. I am Filipino and this is my first blog.

Okay. Why basketball? Well, my answer would be, "why not?" As we all know, Philippines is a basketball loving country. Most of us love to play this sport due to its thrill and competition. That soothing sensation after making a shot keeps us all interested in the sport.

From all walks of life, basketball is there. It promotes a sense of unity and passion not just for the game but our lives too.

We, Filipinos, are admired not because of out height, ofcourse, but for our heart. No matter how big the giants are in the court, WE NEVER BACK DOWN. Be it "pisohay," "coke-ay," or just a regular game, we give it our all. This is just how we're built.

I created this blog because of one reason only. That is to promote the sport that we love.

I'll be providing insights, comments, game inputs, training regimens, and all other information. I'll also include promotions, advertising and interviews.

So, watch out Philippines! Dakilang Baller is now signing in!

Because of it, Basketball and Autism, which a lot of positive hits, i asked him to make another write-up for the blog. So, here it goes: "I t is a good day here at Davao City. As I woke up and check my Facebook status I was shocked that my face was on the picture of a link of a shared article from this site. I hovered the news feed and tagged posts for likes. So much for the introductory part, may I proceed for what happened this morning. I saw kids on a nearby Subdivision coming as I warm myself for the day. What seems for me to do my routine in that court turned out as a opportunity to mentor young kids approximately around 13-17 years old. These players are ballers of a small school here in Davao called Kids Camp Innovative Learning Center and other small schools near our subdivision. I saw that they have the potential to...
