TRIUMPHANT !

The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke

The Philippine Olympic Committee, led by its president Jose Cojuangco and vice-president Jose Romasanta, thinks that it has hurdled all obstacles in establishing Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. as the new volleyball federation of the Philippines.

But it is deceiving itself in doing so.

First. there is still the ongoing court case in Pasig RTC Branch 154. From the way things stand, POC and LVPI are on the losing end as their defense of disbandment against Philippine Volleyball Federation stands on loose ground. Recently, POC and LVPI committed a grave error that could very well spell their defeat.

Second, no less than the International Olympic Committee has started to investigate the issue in Philippine volleyball. IOC has taken a keen interest in the conflict of interest involving POC officials who installed themselves as officers of the new volleyball federation.

Third, international media have started to dig into the story involving the anomaly between FIVB, AVC POC and LVPI officials. The obvious connivance and corruption between sports bodies make a hot topic for international media following the controversies involving FIFA and IAAF.

A lot of people say I am fighting a lost cause. But I sincerely believe that there are still a lot of good people around the world who will not allow evil to triumph. With God's help, I know that we, not they, will triumph.
