In behalf of the entire Filipino nation let me extend to you our warmest and heartfelt congratulations for snaring the World Lettle League baseball championship.

This achievement, unparalleled in local boys’ baseball history, generates a tremendous amount of national pride for it emboidies the Filipino spirit to prevail against all odds.

We are aware that on the way to the finals, you had cut short the reign of 18-time titlist Chinese-Taipei before eventually establishing the distinction of being only the third Asian nation to rule this prestigious event.

This triumph is extremely significant in our nation’s quest to make Asian neighbors and the rest of the world realize that Filipino athletes are not mere participants in sports gatherings but able and prolific competitors.

The manner with which you defeated the Long Beach team of host United States confirms that our boy’s baseball program has come of age and can rise up to the challenge of the world finest ballplayer in the little league bracket.

The entire nation recognizes the importance of your distinct achievement. In the eyes of your countrymen, you have won the biggest league and we will all await your homecoming to accord you the appropriate hero’s welcome.
