EVERYBODY loves the Azkals.
Casual fans, hardcore fans, converts, the foreign press, and, of course, the corporate sponsors, who are now gushing with newfound belief in the sport, as they line up to ink a deal with the Philippine Men�s National Team.
And that includes Dr. Vicki Belo, Cosmetic Surgeon to the Stars, who has pulled a coup by getting the Azkals as �celebrity endorsers.� In exchange, the Pinoy footballers will receive �regular skin treatment since they spend most of their time under the sun,� and probably some financial aid.
That�s supposed to be welcome news, right?
Not to the Azkals fans, especially the women, who are going nuts over the issue. Shortly before a link of an ABS-CBN online report was posted, fans of an open group forum on Facebook were already fuming over how certain media personalities in the capital have turned the Azkals phenomenon into one big showbiz circus, asking the footballers about their love life, eating habits, the alignment of the planets, and just about anything that has nothing to do with football.
Enter Belo and her endorsement deal.
