Hi, I'm ab, speaking for the affirmative side. I believe that college athletes should get a percentage of the revenue that they get. You see, as college athletes, amidst expenses, we should thank them for being an athlete. We should at least give them support for even representing our school because being an athlete isn't hard. Besides the effort, all the trainings, there also comes costs and they can be very expensive. Starting with the tools, the trainings, the gears that you need, as well as how we maintain and consistently do the sport. So, they should at least get a percentage of what they get in their revenue because they should somehow still be supported by their school. Especially if they're actually representing the school's name. Because many college athletes use these tournaments and competitions solely for the school's sake. So in that case, I believe that college athletes deserve and should get a percentage of their revenue.

I believe it's not our problem if the school doesn't have sufficient funds to provide consistency and maintain support for the college athletes. Because if the school itself chose those athletes to represent the school, they should somehow know how to maintain, consistently care for them, and at the same time, know how hard these college athletes work and train for just to represent the school. Yes, you may say that they do not have enough funds. And another point that I would like to bring out is that they can always just make funds. You see, you have mentioned that schools have insufficient funds for their sports team. Then why not start fundraising events that support The speaker is laughing at the age of 19 and it is also known for the Philippines and the We do fundraising activities just to help raise funds and cover up expenses for the athletes. I'm not saying that every single bit of money will be used to spend on these athletes for revenue. What I'm saying is that I'm sure every single school has a bit of revenue saved up. I just want a percentage of that for these athletes because they are somehow one trophy that a college can praise for. So it's only respect if we try to support them for everything that they did.

Actually, I am not specifically referring to only one athlete. We can always divide it among all of them. Let's say here for example in the Philippines you have a budget of 100,000 pesos for your sports revenue and I'm sure that if you don't have sufficient funds or if you don't have enough to reach that 100,000, It will be well provided by many other aspects and other people like alumni as well as donations and even whenever students pay their tuition. And though I know that most of those money don't go to the sports area, it's only fair if we divide it properly among all of them. And when I say divide it among all areas, I mean even the college, the sports area itself. I don't want the sports area to only give the amount of money they will get to a certain athlete. I want it to be equally divided among all of them depending on what they deserve and depending on how well they represent the team. So that's just it.
