00:00Dottie Ardina, a Filipino Olympic golfer, was dismayed
00:04when she saw a viral video of her showing off her lack of a uniform for the Olympics.
00:14In Ardina's video, which went viral this weekend,
00:17she showed that because of the lack of a uniform,
00:21she was sticking the Philippine flag to her clothes manually.
00:26In a post last night, Ardina said that someone was asking her to delete a video,
00:31but she didn't specify who.
00:34Ardina also said that she felt like she was being blamed for the issue.
00:38To clarify, there was no competition uniform for them.
00:44They only received collared shirts that weren't even golf uniforms.
00:48But they were forced to wear them
00:51because their teammate, Bianca Pagdanganan, needed a uniform.
00:55She was ordered to buy a new t-shirt with the Philippine flag on it,
01:02but when it arrived, it didn't fit them,
01:05and the Philippine logo was under the collared shirt.
01:09She also didn't give them any golf balls, head covers, gloves, and golf umbrellas.
01:16Ardina called, hoping that it wouldn't happen again,
01:20and that there would be proper communication.
01:23She also hoped that there would be no Filipino athlete who would look pitiful.
01:29Before this, the National Golf Association of the Philippines
01:33and the Philippine Olympic Committee said in an interview
01:36that the uniform of the golfers was tied to the logistics provider from the sponsor,
01:41so they were forced to buy clothes in Paris.
01:44But when it came to the uniforms, only one fit Ardina.
01:49They were supposed to buy clothes from the sponsor,
01:52but Ardina decided to buy her own clothes.
