Team Sports, inihayag ang kanilang panig kaugnay sa disqualification cases

To our valued NSAs: Yesterday, our opponents in the November 27 election jointly and falsely accused us of “black propaganda, making baseless insinuations, and mudslinging”. All disqualification cases filed were written on paper and submitted to the ELECOM. We simply filed objections to candidacies as allowed by ELECOM. Nothing more, nothing less. You cite the Olympic core values and lecture us on fairness? It’s like the pot calling the kettle black. Sino ba tumanggap ng pera from PHISGOC?

Kami po ba? Who is tolerating the shameless delay in the submission by PHISGOC of the SEA Games audited financial statements. Kami po ba? Who objected to the Resolution of the GA asking POC to request PHISGOC to submit audited financial statements of the SEA Games? Kami po ba? Isnt it bad governance to condone lack of accountability?

Yes or no? Who could not simply comply with Membership requirements? Kami po ba? Who misinterprets and twists the by-laws when it is not to their liking or when it is not beneficial to their cause?

 Kami po ba? Who prepares the Agenda for the Executive Board (EB) and General Assembly (GA) with no discussion, inputs nor approval from the EB? Kami po ba? Who submits a meeting agenda for an EB meeting and a General Assembly meeting with no Other Matters included? Kami po ba? Who did not have the EB review and approve the voters’ list, which was the cause of the impasse this morning? Kami po ba? Who applies pressure to NSAs to abstain or not show up on election day?

 Kami po ba? Yes, we received reports and copies of text messages. Who could not have easily extended a hand of reconciliation after the July 2019 election?

Kami po ba? The list goes on and on. Is this what you all want? We beg of you, our NSAs. Let’s protect and change POC for the better. We offer you a NONGOVERNMENTAL, COMPASSIONATE, UNITED, AND WORKING POC BOARD.

It is now high time we set the POC on the path of righteousness and greatness. In parting, we leave you with a message from Team SPORTS Presidential candidate Clint Aranas… “FOR AS LONG AS…

▪︎GREED is a stronger motivation than fear of discovery and shame; ▪︎GOLD has more value than honor; ▪︎LAW is not applied equally and there are SACRED COWS; ▪︎LEADERS are not exemplars but are exempted for, “what are they in power for?” ▪︎SYSTEMS are weak and exploitable; CORRUPTION WILL FLOURISH! WE KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE, DO OUR LEADERS WANT OR HAVE THE WILL TO DO IT?” – Atty. Clint Aranas For those of you who feel beholden for the support, you received from PHISGOC in the last SEA Games,

DON’T. We are thankful for their support. But you must realize that is OUR TAXES WORKING FOR US. Let’s be clear on that. GOD BLESS US ALL AND THE POC! Team SPORTS.
