OTIE CAMANGIAN : THE MAN POC WANTS TO GET RID OFF

courtesy of sportsdesk.ph

Rustico "Otie" Camangian is the secretary-general of the Philippine Volleyball Federation.  He is the man responsible for the formation of Pilipinas Amihan and Pilipinas Bagwis. He too is responsible for bringing in PLDT Home Fibr to support what many consider the best Philippine volleyball teams that can be assembled at this time.

Camangian first gained volleyball prominence as a national youth player in 1989.  From 1991-1998, he became an indoor and beach volleyball RP team mainstay. He was the team captain of the national squad from 1994-1998. While a national player, Camangian was with the Philippine Air Force from 1994-2006.

But what is truly remarkable with Otie, as he is fondly called, is that he places high value on education. Unlike most athletes who merely rely on their athletic accomplishments to launch their careers, Otie took the time to better himself by studying further. He has masteral and doctorate degrees safely tucked under his belt.

It is insane that POC wants someone like Otie Camangian out of volleyball. The man that POC wants, Joey Romasanta, is not even a volleyball player, much less a former national athlete. Why will the Filipino volleyball community settle for Romasanta when it can have Camangian ? Why settle for less when you can have more ?
