Pagiging tapat ayon kay basketball association head Al Panlilio at surfing federation chief Dr. Jose Raul Canlas ang commitment nila para sa unang VP at treasurer sa ilalim ng ticket ni Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino.
“I’m committed only to Philippine sports, to the Filipino athletes and to the leadership of Tolentino, who did a good job, and we are hoping to make it better or sustainable in the upcoming years,” ani Panlilio, pangulo ng Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas na siya rin ngayong POC first vice president.
“I am for Philippines sports and for the Filipino athletes,” ani Canlas. “ Tolentino has proven himself as an effective leader.” Isa pa muling 4 na taon na pamumuno bilang POC president ang pakay ni Bambol sa pilian ng liderato sa Nob. 29.
Naglatag naman si Baseball Association president Chito Loyzaga ng kandidatura para sa pagka-pangulo kabilang si Panlilio bilang first vice president at Canlas bilang treasurer.
Tinanggihan umano nina Panlilio at Canlas ang alok ng kampo ni Loyzaga at ikinagulat na makita ang kanilang pangalan sa dating PSC commissioner’s ticket.
“I’m so surprised to see my name on their list because when he [Loyzaga] called me, he just told me that they would only leave the first vice president blank and same thing with Doc Canlas’s treasurer position,” ani Panlilio.
“It is now confusing, we did not tell them to include our names in their ticket,” aniya. “They considered me to run as their first vice-president, that was their first offer,” ani Canlas.
“I’m honored and thankful for considering me also as their treasurer. But I declined their offer and told them that I will only stick to my original commitment to run under the leadership of Tolentino.”
