I have long held on to an information that practically solves the mystery of the country's participation in the Southeast Asian zonals. I was hoping that the people involved will come out with the information themselves. But they choose to remain quiet on who really confirmed the Philippines' participation in the zonals.
The confirmation is crucial since it is responsible for the possible sanction that the country might incur. With a confirmation, the country must participate in order to avoid a monetary fine. The fine ranges from 200 dollars to 10, 000 dollars. The sanction only involves a monetary fine and not a suspension from international competitions.
The fact is, Dr. Ian Laurel signed the 02 Bis and POC sent the 02 Bis to AVC. The 02 Bis is the official and final list of players of the team. It serves as an entry form in most major tournaments abroad.
There is no truth that the sanction is a result of PVF's refusal to join. The sanction has to do with not honoring a confirmation to join. In this case, POC committed the country's participation in the form of an 02 Bis. It is the POC that placed the country with a possible sanction.
So the truth may be known.
