“Basketball is the biggest sport that we follow; we don’t know much about American sports apart from that,” Makati contractor Jerry Araneta said. “I only know of O.J. Simpson, for obvious reasons. Oh, and Brett Favre. There is a poster of him in my favorite bar. But not Tim Tebow, I don’t know him.”
That may change soon, especially if Tebow’s fame and form continue to surge. Two Manila newspapers are planning stories on the quarterback this week, and Filipino state television is sending a crew to the Broncos’ showdown against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Tebow continues his family’s mission work, and his foundation has combined with renowned charity CURE International to build a state-of-the-art hospital in the troubled region of Davao that will provide reconstructive surgery for children suffering from deformities.
Funding for the $3.1 million project is nearly 80 percent complete, and it is expected that Tebow will be present at the groundbreaking ceremony in January.
Unless, of course, the weekly escape acts continue into the post-season.
