City council seeking probe The Bacolod City Sangguniang Panlungsod passed Monday an Omnibus resolution calling for a thorough inquiry on the cancelled trip of the city's softball players to the Senior League Word Series 2005, and other delegates who had also represented the Philippines previously. The resolution also requests the Department of Education and Sports to set sanctions for sports events participated in by students and school officials that are not part of the regular sports programs of the agency, to prevent similar incidents in the future. The resolution said the DepEd will investigate and provide sanctions
for officials who commit negligence or faults resulting in the emotional
and psychological injury of the players and their parents. |
