The biggest problem of Philippine sports is, without a doubt, POC President Peping Cojuangco. Sports governance, the Peping Cojuangco way, is by far, the biggest deterrent to growth of Philippine sports. One simply has to take a look at the way the POC president destroyed Philippine Dragon Boat Federation (PDBF) and Philippine Volleyball Federation (PVF) to realize that he is indeed the purveyor of destruction in Philippine sports.

With the gross mismanagement and misgovernance in sports, Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) must take drastic steps to prevent POC President Peping Cojuangco from winning a fourth term. PSC Chairman Butch Ramirez must first talk to the POC president and request him to give way to young and vibrant leadership. Should the POC president refuse his request, the chairman can then tell the NSA's who will vote for Cojuangco that they will have a hard time securing funds should they insist on voting for Cojuangco.

It is time for PSC to flex its muscle to show who is the boss. Drastic times, after all, call for drastic action. For PSC to resuscitate Philippine sports, Peping Cojuangco must go. It is really that plain and simple.
