                    [Summary] => Officiating woes hound sports like ghosts on Halloween.


The recent loss of boxer Eriberto 'Ioka' Gejon in Japan, the trouble in the CESAFI, the loss of the Mantawi Sparkling Nights in the NBC, and many more have all been blamed on the failure of the game officials to call the game as it is.

There are, however, some teams that use officiating as the reason why they fail and I definitely know many of them, who find the excuse as the fastest way to appease themselves.

It is not exactly apathy on the part of the Filipinos, but more of adaptability, which is of course both good and bad.
