'Money still key to RP
athletes' sustained success'
An adequate budget for next year is needed in order for the Philippine sports to continue its success, Rep. Monico Puentevella said.
"No sports plan in the world can ever succeed without the proper logistics. Without the proper budget, the most beautiful plan in the world will still fail," Puentevella said.
Philip Ella Juico, former Philippine Sports Commissioner
chairman, said in a national daily that the lack of a master plan will
create debates among the 40 national sports associations on which events
will be included in the "Chosen 10". The "Chosen 10" is a formula that
will be used in picking the 10 disciplines, that will be lavishly funded
for training and extensive exposure to international competitions, for
the Philippine goal to bring home its first- ever Olympic gold medal.
