MANILA, Philippines – Tim Tebow, currently among the most popular playeers in American football,
     is largely unknown in the Philippines and the metropolitan city of his birth.

The 24-year-old Tebow, superstar quarterback of the Denver Broncos, was born in Makati City.

"Tee-bone?" said Makati government official Mila Gonzalez in a telephone conversation with The Post Game.com. "How do you spell that?"

Tebow was born on August 14, 1987 to American parents who were serving as Christian Baptist missionaries in the Philippines at the time.

He is especially well-known for fourth-quarter scoring drives that result, week after week, in miraculous come-from-behind victories for the Broncos.

Since Tebow took over the starting quarterback position, the team has racked up 7 wins and just 1 loss.

Gonzalez admitted to The Post Game.com that nobody at the Makati City Hall recognized Tebow's name.

"No one here has heard of him," said Gonzalez. "Is he a current player? “

“Of course it is exciting for us now you have told us about this, and we will look it up.
  If someone from our city is successful it is something for us to celebrate. I am sure once people begin to realize
  he is from Makati they will start to follow him in his sporting endeavors," she added.

Tebow appeared in Nike's "Boom" television advertisement with Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao last year.

Americans not only marvel Tebow for his exploits in the field, but also admire him for his humble demeanor and
   his religious devotion, which they say makes him an ideal role model for youngsters.

His parents nearly lost him when doctors advised his mother, Pamela Elaine, to undergo abortion
   after she suffered a life-threatening infection during pregnancy.

His mother refused to terminate her pregnancy while carrying "Timmy."

She now is one of America's most vocal pro-life advocates. -- With a report from Agence France-Presse

Tebow Foundation To Help Build Children’s Hospital In Philippines

DENVER (CBS4) – Tim Tebow is getting ready to take on the New York Jets this week, but he’s also taking on a new project.

Tebow announced Tuesday that his foundation is teaming up with CURE International to build a new children’s hospital in the Philippines.

“The Tebow CURE Hospital in Davao City will be a 30-bed surgical facility focusing primarily on orthopedics,” the foundation said in a statement.

Tebow was actually born in the Philippines and his parents have worked as missionaries there.

“I was born in the Philippines and my parents have been missionaries to that area since 1985.
   The Philippines have always had a special place in my heart,” Tebow said.
   â€œI’m excited to be a part of this hospital that will bring healing to thousands of children who would not otherwise have access to care.”

The quarterback says he’s excited to help children who have no other access to health care.

The construction project is expected to cost $3 million, with donors from CURE and the Tebow Foundation sharing the costs.
About one-third of the children treated at the hospital are expected to be charity cases.

The hospital is set to open in mid-2013.

Tim is a great quarterback. I'd rank him in the same league as Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers. :)

My husband is a  Steelers fan ..
Tebow's parents had their  missionary works in the Philippines  in Cotabato and Davao, he has a very good Christian upbringing.

Is he now? I felt bad for Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who had to do a "Tebow" when the Steelers lost to the Broncos couple of weeks ago...lol  (he lost the bet to the mayor of Denver)


What's the matter, Mayor? ;D

Hmm, this reminds me of a footall trivia...


Seconds after the kickoff in a memorable soccer match between Corinthians and Rio Preto at Bahia Stadium in Brazil, Corinthian striker Roberto Rivelino scored a goal, after a single pass, with a left foot drive from the half line.

The ball sailed past the ear of Rio Preto goalkeeper Senhor Isadore Irandir... while he was kneeling in the goalmouth finishing his pre-match prayers. -- http://www.anecdotage.com/
