PHILIPPINE SPORTS : A STORY TO TELL

courtesy of parkiaki.com

Hundreds of national athletes, coaches and federation officials have suffered and continue to suffer under the leadership of Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) President Jose Cojuangco Jr. and Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman Richie Garcia.  So many have experienced injustice at the hands of the two said sports officials and their minions. Sadly, the world has yet to hear of the suffering that Filipino athletes, coaches and sports officials must endure to chase their dreams of sports excellence.

But the time has now come for the world to hear of the story that deserves to be heard. It is time for Filipino athletes to tell their story of shattered dreams and helplessness against sports officials who bring nothing but pain and difficulty. Several prestigious and concerned sports organizations have already expressed interest in covering the story of Philippine sports.

The burden now is to provide documents and evidences of corruption and grave abuse of power of the POC President, PSC Chairman and their cohorts. With the large number of Filipino athletes and sports officials who have experienced several forms of abuse, oppression and injustice from the powers-that-be in Philippine sports, evidences will certainly pour in. Then, the whole world will finally know what is truly happening.

I only hope that the story will serve as an eye-opener to other athletes and sports officials in other nations who are experiencing corruption and injustice in such a noble vocation like sports. Kudos to all the sports organizations who dare to care.
