SPORTWATCH: REVENGE OF THE TAMARAWS

Sporting events are back, baby!  Or at least the ones outdoors with crowds less than a 100! Woohoooo!  What better way to get your game on than a international friendly between the Philippine Tamaraws and that other rugby league powerhouse (*checks notes*)...Brazil!

And what a fun day it was, with the Philippines a wire-to-wire winner: for the opening ceremonies, it learned its lesson and got a professional singer for the anthem, as well as a proper bearer of the flag

(unlike the last time, when moi sang and staggered all over the field. never forget)

Then, once the whistle blew, the Tamaraws scored early and oh so often


And with the match all but settled by halftime, the battle shifted to whose grandstand grill was better, Brazil's... 

...or ang Pilipinas 


Well, it was Australia who decided! No, really, some local men came up to me, set up this spread, and said "What a sight.  There's your winner right there"

  Tama!
