Antique
gives up
POF hosting job
POC, PSC TO TACKLE SEAG ROSTER
TODAY
BY CEDELF TUPAS
A fresh blow to the country's grassroots sports program, was the backing out of Antique from hosting the twice-postponed Visayas Qualifiers of the Philippine Olympic Festival scheduled Sept. 3-9.
This was disclosed yesterday by Bacolod Rep. Monico Puentevella, who said that the Philippine Olympic Committee has broached the idea of staging the multi-event meet for Under-17 athletes in Bacolod.
But Puentevella, the POC first vice-president, said
he did not commit on hosting the sports talent search project, saying he has yet
to determine where to source out the funds of staging the event in Bacolod. "I
am not sure if the event could draw crowds," he said.

Open One of the five qualifying legs of the San Miguel Beer Philippine 9-ball Open is slated Aug. 18-19 at the Celebrity Billiards and Bar in Bacolod City, Christopher Palses, manager of the organizing Negros Billiards Stable, said Saturday. Palses said that the top four in the qualifying leg will advance to the national finals scheduled Sept. 14-16 in a venue which will be announced later. The winner in the qualifying leg will receive P5,000, he said. In the national finals, P500,000 will be awarded to the champion, while P250,000 will be given to the losing finalist. About P1.35 million is at stake in the national tournament. Matches for
the qualifying legs will be played under a double elimination-round format, race-to-seven
with alternate breaks, Palses said. |
