TIME TO GIVE POC A DOSE OF ITS OWN MEDICINE

In yet another gross violation of the IOC Constitution on the principle of autonomy of national federations, the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) issues a directive informing Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) that it is taking over Philippine Bowling Congress (PBC). The directive is dated November 26, 2015 and signed by POC Secretary-General Steve Hontiveros.

The directive from POC to PSC is yet another blatant and shameless takeover of POC of a legitimate and well-performing national federation. Perhaps, it is now time for the new administrators of PSC to takeover POC to finally put a stop to the wanton ways of POC. Perhaps, it is time to teach POC a lesson and make it feel just how terrible it is to be taken over for no reason at all. Time perhaps for POC to have a dose of its own medicine.
