Football reigns in Barotac Nuevo

 BAROTAC NUEVO, Iloilo, Philippines – The exhibition game of the Azkals Tuesday was a clear indication that football reigns in this Iloilo town.
“Bisan wala kami inugsulod sa kaldero, basta maka lantaw lang kami football, ok na (Even if we don’t have anything to cook and eat, as long as we can watch football),” declared the stage announcer said halfway through the friendly game of the famed national football team against Central Philippine University (CPU).
The crowd, mainly natives of Barotac Nuevo, particularly cheered the Ilonggo players with the Philippine Azkals.
