did you manage to take pics with the players? all of them seems to be in a rush after the sessions.

just chatted with ronald few days ago. He still have to ice his legs.

i don't think ronald will be playing.he carn possible playing a match limping thoughout.

**Badmincraze** · 11-27-2005, 07:59 AM

yah... read from the papers...he's most prob acting as a decoy ....

hopefully he can fully recuperate in time to take part in next yr's main tourneys..

i agree. i think he's good and will definitely be a contender someday. i watched him play last night against kendrick lee of singapore. unfortunately, he lost. maybe because nobody was cheering for him. a large group of singaporean delegates were there to cheer for their team.

vietnman has some other very good players also. in fact, they won their singles matches.

Singapore's Susilo is one great player but thats only one guy, Im talking about the whole team here....The Asunscions, who got a bronze last SEA games really pulled us off ahead of the Singaporeans...We also beated Singapore's mens doubles in the last SEA games.

Well, im just hoping we could still beat them...i mean, we really have great players here! I can feel it through my veins. Hahahhah

Tsk tsk tsk. That was so much too soon. The Philippines was eliminated on the first night. Not even one set won. Kakahiya! I think we oughta get our feet out of our mouths and practice more.

I agree! Long way to go for the Philippines but the ride looks good. We were there during the first night and our cheers didn't really work. We ended up cheering for Kendrick Lee instead. Even just one set won would've been great for the crowd. Oh well, someday!

Congratulation on Vietnam team won Bronze medal in the men team! Congratulation Tien Minh, Quang Minh, Thanh Hai, Quang Phong, Hoang Hai, Nguyen Nhung, Thanh Thao, Thanh Thuy, Binh Tho, Thi Trang and all... Congratulation on all the effects of our team. Victory is not the most important thing but you are always in our hearts.

we got clobbered in the first round, but it's okay. let it be a wake up call for us (but believe me, we're wide awake already hehehe)

philippine badminton still has a long way to go, and a recent chat with the former head coach confirms that there is a big gap between the ranked asuncion siblings and whoever will take their place... simply because there aren't any young'uns stepping up yet.

but the sport is starting to make serious inroads in the philippines, and just for that, we filipino shuttlers feel like champs already.

How badminton coaches in Philippine ?

I read in local news Minarti Timur & Bambang Suprianto played in INA Open 2005 after take holiday from Philippine (as coach).

And as I knew that Kwee Tek Ming (former Indonesia double player) played for Philippine in some tournaments.

Well..I met Minarti Timur and had a short chat with her and an Indonesian official during the HK Open earlier this month. She was there accompanying the Phi team. I think she is still coaching there. Not sure abt Bambang though.

Hi Sandy,

There are quite a few badminton coaches here, most of them home grown.
unfortunately, as with other countries, there are opposing factions within the ranks.

You have the Asuncion's, you have the Chan's among others.

About the Philippine Badminton Association, it's a circus, reeking of corruption (according to public perception) yet woefully short on funds.
