Hail The World Champions from Tanauan! Wait, who?

It really is a sad world when a senior league girls softball team from Tanauan makes history by being the first Asian team (yep, not just the first Filipino team or Southeast Asian team but first ASIAN team) to win the world championship...and no one in the Philippines notices.

So let's get to rectifying that.

The seniors league girls team from Tanauan represented Asia Pacific in the 2018 Senior League Softball World Championship Series and made it all the way to the finals, where they absolutely demolished Texas by a score of 7-0.

Royevel Palma was superb on the mound and ably supported at the plate with multiple hits by Marika Manaig, April Rosita, and Joyce Rasco.

Here's the offical writeup from the Little League site.

Here's the only clip of the girls left on Youtube. (Other clips were removed by Youtube)

For a country desperate for any sort of international achievement, anything we could be proud of, we are doing a darned good job ignoring world class perfromances like this one.

Good job, girls. And thank you for bring honor and glory to the Philippines.
