The sun and the three stars tribal tattoo with a basketball
by Pleasure N’ Pain
It isn’t Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao neither the Pinoy rap icon Francis Magalona’s contribution to the local scene that the insignia three stars and a sun represents. It’s the juncture of Filipinos’ approaches to nationalism. Yes, the height of popularity of this insignia was the Master Rapper’s death, but one can just simply translate its now-reputation into, “hey, I am a proud Filipino.”
English are very much involved with football. Americans has soccer. Brazilians enjoy volleyball. Filipinos’ passion for sport lies in basketball. One can find basketball courts in every street corner flooded with aficionados either playing or watching.
The sport equestrian and the red dragon from Wales’ flag don’t look good together. Thanks to the artist that the idea of the tattoo above was resembled adeptly.
