PANGANGASIWA NG SEA GAMES SA BANSA, MALINIS ANG PATAKBO

INIHAYAG ni Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman William “Butch” Ramirez na malinis umano ang intensyon at wala umamong nagaganap na korupsiyon sa pagpapatakbo ng 30th Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) na gaganapin sa bansa sa Nobyembre hanggang Disyembre ngayong taon.

Kaantabay ng PSC sa pakikipag-tulungan ang Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC) na pinamumunuan ni Taguig Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano. Ang PHISGOC at Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) ang nagtutulungan para sa pangangasiwa ng SEA Games sa bansa.

“There is no truth to the allegation of corruption,” pahayag ni Ramirez na tinalagang Chef de mission ng SEA Games. “We assure the athletes and the general public that all decisions and transactions will be done with the utmost transparency. The PSC, through the guidance of the Department of Budget and Management and assistance of the Procurement Service, shall work together to ensure that public funds are protected and that all disbursements or expenses follow existing government rules and laws,” dagdag ni Ramirez.

Sinigurado ni Ramirez na magiging maayos ang pagpapatakbo ng biennial meet sa bansa at aatasan nito ang ilang National Sports Association (NSA) officials at atleta para sa preparasyon sa SEAG. ”We shall be gathering presidents and athletes of all POC and PSC accredited National Sports Associations (NSAS) to personally update them on developments and be witnesses to the pledge of unity of major stakeholders of Philippine sports,” wika nito.
