Kaokolan lan ikalen si Peping Cojuangco ed POC; ontan met si Richie Garcia na PSC [Get rid of Cojuangco at POC and Richie Garcia at PSC]

Anggad wadtan ya akairong si Peping Cojuangco tan Richie Garcia, anggapoy pansabian na pakasilan no ag diad otit.

Si Peping Cojuangco ya sakey ya trapo et immirong ed POC nen 2005 nen panaon nen Glorian matakew.

Ayay Richie Garcia pinili nen Pnoy ya mamaulo na PSC. Ag ko amta no antoy credentials to ya.

Diad apalabas ya Olympics, malinlinew ya anggapoy ginawa irayan opisiales ed ibulaslas na pakasilan ed Pilipinas.

Say ibabaga nen Cojuangco ya rason no akin makapoy so pinawayan daray atlitan Pilipino ed London et kakulangan kono ya pondo.

It is lack of funds according to Cojuangco but I think bad politics and lack of programs and policies that will ensure the training of athletes are the primary reasons for the lackluster performance.

Now he is said to be gunning for the same position. He must not win. We must ensure that he lose in the selection. Otherwise, quo vadis Philippine sports?

If he will retake the helm of Olympic sports development in the country, I am sure Philippine sports will remain at the same level of unpreparedness, the same neglect toward athletes who are victims of politicking.

How very limited is the idea of Richie Garcia. He is seeking the help of China through a signed memorandum on sports. But he laments that it is not moving and so he wants to get the assistance of Russia. Pathetic. He wants our athletes to train abroad so that he and his cliques could also travel there.

No. We must do it on our own. Self-reliance is the key without discounting assistance from other countries.

First, abolish the POC and the PSC.

Second, a Department of Sports must be created to be headed by a sports science graduate who will oversee the establishment of a Philippine University of Sports, an Olympic village in preparation for the hosting of Olympics in 2024 or 2028 to showcase to the world the coming of age of the country in the arena of world politics and sports.

Third, the vision of the head of this department must be: the Philippines as a world superpower in sports.

Fourth, stop sending Olympic athletes before 2024 or 2028. They must train to beat records and compete in the Olympics to be hosted in the country.

Fifth, there must be a program of scholarships for sports development beginning at a tender age so that qualified recipients can begin training and develop their skills in anticipation of national, regional, international sports meets and the Olympics.
