Philippines probe as ‘Splash Brothers’ go viral

SINGAPORE: A pair of Filipinos have created a splash in more ways than one after footage of their botched dives at the SEA Games caused such a stir that authorities demanded answers.
Footage of John Elmerson Fabriga and John David Pahoyo has gone viral after both athletes, on their fourth dive in the men’s 3m springboard, landed nearly horizontal, scoring zero points.
Reaction has been mixed to the duo dubbed the “Splash Brothers”. Philippine Sport Commission chairman Richie Garcia is reportedly seeking an explanation from aquatics chief Mark Joseph over the antics of the duo.
