**July 3, 2011 - Philippine Official Gazette
:The entire nation was thrilled by the victory of our very own Philippine Azkals. I join our people in celebrating their 5-1 aggregate win over Sri Lanka. Truly, there is no place like home, as those gathered at the Rizal Memorial and who gathered before their TV sets today experienced.
:This victory allows our team to move on to the next round of the World Cup Qualifiers. To the Philippine Azkals, may the teamwork you displayed today on both sides of the pitch lead to more than just future victories; may you continue to inspire our youth to pursue teamwork, and the true spirit of sportsmanship that, win or lose, inspires excellence on and off the field—for if the Filipino people can work together, and if we can make the most of our inherent creativity and skill, then our victories as a country can extend far beyond the football pitch.
