Phil Younghusband made it to the showbiz news again last night. The gossip says he is in a relationship with Denisse Oca, daughter of actress Melissa Mendez. Somehow I want to believe Angelica’s point. Maybe aside from football, he wants to be an actor too. If you have been watching the news recently, you should know that there was an issue between Angelica Panganiban and the fans of Azkals football player Phil Younghusband. It started when Angelica commented about Phil’s involvement in an indie film.

Showbiz in our country is very hyped. In whatever field, people tend to put some showbiz touch on it, just like politics. It is irritating already because I kept hearing Phil’s name in the showbiz news even when he is not part of that industry. He is an athlete for goodness’ sake! This may be a publicity for him but I wonder what the Azkals coach and other members of the team say.

We should be proud that there is another positive avenue where our country can be known instead of just the negative aspects like corruption and other crimes. So please, can stop talking about Phil and the Azkals for now? Let them focus on their practices so they can win the game against Mongolia.
