Marunong Ka bang Tumanggap ng Pagkatalo?

On Sportsmanship, Sense of Fairness, and Objectivity

One day, my son asked me, “Dad, is it true that in a game everybody’s a winner?”

After careful analysis, I responded, “No, it’s not true.”

In any sport, game, or competition, there will always be winners and losers in the end (unless the result is a tie, a draw, or a truce; in fact, there’s even usually a tiebreaker just to be able to declare a rightful winner). And there’s nothing wrong with that. There should be nothing shameful about losing. And there should be nothing self-aggrandizing about winning either. In a game or competition, in which results are calculated based on clear, fair, and transparent points of criteria and in consideration of the objective and subjective decision of the judges, winners should be able to celebrate their success in ecstatic yet humble manner and losers should be able to regard the loss as an opportunity to improve and to upgrade their skills and strategy. Although winning or losing means a lot to a person, she should not take this too seriously to the point of treating the competition as a win-or-die situation. Simply put, it’s just a game; nothing personal; if you win, then great—congratulations; if you lose, move on and better luck next time.

Maraming tao ang hindi marunong tumanggap ng pagkatalo. Akala kasi nila e pag natalo ka e kahiya-hiya ito at parang yurak ito sa kanilang pagkatao. Yun tuloy, sa tuwing matatalo e hiyang-hiya; akala mo e nakagawa ng karumal-dumal na krimen. O di kaya e magrereklamo at sasabihing nadaya sila o may kinampihan o pinanigan ang mga hurado—para lang masabing hindi talaga sila talo. At hindi pa makukuntento—iinsultuhin at lalaitin ang nanalo at hahalungkatin ang lahat ng bagay tungkol dito na wala namang kinalaman sa laro; pipiliting sirain ang pagkatao ng nanalo para lang maipalabas na hindi ito karapat-dapat na manalo o magwagi. Sa kabilang banda, marami rin naman ang sobrang yabang kapag nananalo. Akala mo e sila na ang pinakamagaling sa buong mundo. Grabe kung manlait o mang-insulto ng kalabang natalo. Yung mga taga-suporta e kung ituring ang kanilang sinusuportahan e akala mo e mga bayani o anito na dapat sambahin at ilagay sa pedestal. Hindi nila matanggap na ang lahat ng iyon e laro lamang; tagisan lang ng talino o kaalaman o lakas na kinakailangan sa larong sinalihan.

Akala ng maraming magulang e maganda ang itinuturo nila sa kanilang mga anak kapag sinasabi nila sa mga ito na “Everybody’s a winner.” Hindi nila alam na hindi maganda ang tanim ng paniniwalang iyan sa isipan at damdamin ng mga bata. Kapag naniwala sila r’yan e tatanda sila na hindi marunong tumanggap ng pagkatalo. Iisipin nila na kahiya-hiya ang matalo sa isang laro kung kaya kinakailangang sabihing panalo ka pa rin kahit na ikaw ay natalo. Imbes na tingnan ang pagkatalo bilang pagkakataon upang mapagbuti ang kakayanan at kaalaman, ituturing nila itong isang karumal-dumal na bahid sa kanilang pagkatao na dadalhin ng buong pamilya o angkan.

Sa Madaling Salita

Sa bawat laro at kumpetisyon, hindi lahat ay nananalo; at walang mali o masama r’yan. Natural lang na merong manalo at matalo. Ibig lang sabihin e mas magaling o mas epektibo ang istratehiya o mas nasa kondisyon ang nanalo sa partikular na larong kanyang nilabanan. Samantalang ang natalo ay kinakailangan lang na pagyamanin pa nang husto ang kanyang talento at umisip ng ibang istratehiya o palawakin pa ang kanyang kaalaman, para maging handa sa susunod na kumpetisyon. Hindi niya dapat isipin na siya ay kahiya-hiya o nagdulot ng bahid sa kanyang angkan.

Ang mga taong napipikon o nambibintang na nadaya sila kapag natatalo e indikasyon lang ng kawalan ng kakayanang tumanggap ng pagkatalo. Hindi sila naturuan ng kanilang mga magulang o naimpluwensiyan nang malumanay at malawak na pag-iisip. Karaniwan, ang mga pikon ay sila rin ang napakadaling yumabang sa sandaling sila naman ang manalo. Ang mga pikon ay sila ring malakas mang-insulto at mambuska ng kanilang kapwa tao.

Kaya kung hindi mo rin lang kayang tumanggap ng pagkatalo e wag ka na lang sumali o makibahagi sa anumang laro o kumpetisyon, dahil siguradong mapipikon ka lang at makakagawa ka lang ng hindi maganda sa iyong kapwa…dahil hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon e ikaw ang panalo. May mga sandaling ikaw ang talo. At walang masama o kahiya-hiya riyan.

Empowering Filipino athletes and inspiring a culture of hard work and perseverance

Sports are an inherent part of being a Filipino. Turn a few streets and it’s almost guaranteed that you will find a basketball hoop propped up somewhere, and a few people playing beneath it.

From a young age, Filipinos are taught in school how to play, not only basketball, but a variety of other sports like volleyball, badminton, and football. Outside the classroom, many Filipinos also engage in sports like boxing, cycling, and martial arts like taekwondo.

Which is why the MVP Group of Companies, one of the foremost business conglomerates in the Philippines, established the MVP Sports Foundation, Inc. Incorporated in 2011 and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, the MVPSF is a nonstock, nonprofit organization that privately funds sports development in the country, focusing on its chosen sports: badminton, basketball, boxing, cycling, football, golf, taekwondo, rugby, and weightlifting. The MVPSF was established to support sports programs through funding and give its feedback and technical advice to help and improve current sports practices used in the programs it supports.

The organization seeks to inspire and empower the Filipino athletes toward the first Philippine Olympic Gold Medal while creating a culture of hard work and perseverance.

“The MVP Sports Foundation will be the driving force in the development of world-class Filipino sports champions as well as the leading proponent of a culture of winning through sports using the grassroots programs established in its chosen sports,” the MVPSF wrote on its Web site.

The organization seeks to offer Filipino athletes a wide range of innovative, quality programs in partnership with several sports associations, empowering them and engaging the next generation of champions. This includes the creation, encouragement, promotion and undertaking of various programs, plans, projects and enterprises for sports, athletic, educational, livelihood and other socio-civic objectives geared toward the uplifting of individuals, groups and communities. The opportunities it will provide will target Filipinos from different walks of life, backgrounds, beliefs, and skill levels, with the hope that they can have the opportunity to compete “for flag and country and allow their journey serve as an inspiration to others.”

Such support extends even toward helping the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) with funding. Most recently, the MVPSF donated P20 million to the POC as part of the national athletes’ training for Asian Games that will be held Indonesia this year and the 2019 Southeast Asian Games that the country will be hosting.

Other development efforts will involve the promotion of sports programs and athletic projects such as coach and referee trainings, summer camps, medical sports clinic, an athletes academy and a sports complex, among others.

“Here’s a perfect opportunity, a perfect vehicle, to further help Philippine sports, while at the same time encourage everyone to live like a winner by leading a more active and healthier lifestyle,” Manny V. Pangilinan was reported as saying during the foundation’s launch in 2011.

“For basketball, the goal is to be the Asian champion; for boxing and taekwondo, no less than an Olympic gold; for cycling, the goal is to have a Filipino qualify in the Tour de France; for badminton and football, the goal is to be among the top three in Southeast Asia; for tennis, to be the best in Southeast Asia, while for running, to be the best in all of the Asian region.”

And while the medals will bring honor and glory to the country, the ultimate goal of the MVPSF is far grander. As the Philippines continues to make itself known on the world stage as a developing country, there is also a rising need to redefine the country’s cultural identity. Part of the MVPSF’s purpose is to nurture that identity, to inspire and raise aspirations enabling continued participation, supporting physical, educational and personal development to create a culture of winning in the country. In that way, Filipinos may find within themselves the determination to make a positive impact on the nation and enable them to achieve their goals and progress in life.

The foundation aims to instill the value of the Filipino determination as well as the ability to compete with other nations on a fair stage. To strengthen the unity of the Filipino people, amidst challenges, is the true victory.

“Sports, to me, is more than just playing games. It is also a powerful catalyst for change. It motivates each one of us to become a better person. It gives us the courage to surmount challenges and can even offer escape from poverty and the answer to our desire to lead better lives,” Mr. Pangilinan said.
