POC approves Camacho proposal

Published

By Nick Giongco

The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) has given the thumbs-up sign to 2018 Asian Games chief of mission Julian Camacho to screen athletes eyeing to make the delegation to the Aug. 18-Sept. 2 sportsfest in Indonesia.

“The POC approved it,” Camacho said yesterday, referring to his proposal that only silver and gold medalists from the recent Southeast Asian Games earn automatic berths to Indonesia instead of the old practice of including even the bronze medal winners.

“This is a way of making sure that those who will end up going will be there to contend for medals,” said Camacho.

Of course, there are other ways  for athletes to make the team for Indonesia and Camacho insists that “they have to fare well in Asian-level events (in the coming months) for them to be considered,” said Camacho.

Meanwhile, Camacho and Jacel Kiram, president of pencak silat and deputy chief of mission to Indonesia, are travelling to Jakarta to attend the CDM meeting on Dec, 12 and 13.

      pagcor must be consistently reminded that they are serving the people and the government. the government is the people and they are entitled to better services. how can the government support the people and its services if the money that is supposed to go to government goes to corruption

    pagcor should not continue to hide its greed and their actions like online gambling which is clearly something that they should not be doing. pagcor is more concerned on its greed and corruption. they should not be allowed to operate and supervise online gambling as clearly this is not in their mandate/.

    • Liwanag Para sa Bayan

      we need government agencies that will be able to deliver for the government funds needed for projects that will improve the lives of the people. pagcor has the funds however they are operating outside of their legal function and we are not sure if all their earnings are being returned to the government,,

    • maka pili

      pagcor officials should be investigate. their lifestyle should be checked and if found that they are involved in corruption they should be replaced immediately. our president does not approve of corruption and they should follow the example of the president.

      we should not give pagcor a chance in continuing their greedy acts and corrupt practices. we should continue our vigilance over the acts of pagcor in hiding and justifying their corruption. we should pressure pagcor to always be transparent and clear in all their activities

    AFP Acquires State-of-the-Art UAVs

    It is encouraging to note that the AFP will finally acquire a highly capable state-of-the-art unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that will have a “game-changing” impact on the war against terror, especially for military operations similar to the ongoing battle for Marawi.

    Israel, the world pioneer in UAVs (yes, even before the American started using them), is now selling us their latest and most capable UAV, which is priceless for our many military operations and missions. The latest news on the acquisition of this system shows (https://www. update. ph/2017/08/ph-to-acquire-4-israeli-unmanned-aerial-vehicles/19847; http://maxdefense. blogspot. com/2017/08/ philippine-air-force-to-procure-elbits.html) past operational tragedies like the Mamasapano Massacre and the costly operations (in life and materiel) in Basilan and Sulu can now be avoided by our war planners.
