POC kinilala ang Philippine Aquatics Inc.
MANILA, Philippines — Kinilala ng Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) General Assembly ang Philippine Aquatics Inc. (PAI) bilang national sports association (NSA) para sa aquatic sports kahapon sa East Ocean Palace Restaurant sa Parañaque City.
Nagkaisa ang POC Executive Board na pinamumunuan ni president Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino sa pagbibigay ng rekognisyon sa PAI bago isagawa ang General Assembly.
“There’s a new NSA (national sports association) that is already recognized by the international federation World Aquatics,” ani Tolentino sa PAI na pinamumunuan nina president Mico Vargas, secretary-general Rep. Eric Buhain at executive director Chito Rivera.
Kinatigan ng POC Executive Board ang recommendation ng POC Membership Committee na nakatanggap ng final at criterion para sa regular membership mula sa World Aquatics (formerly FINA).
Pinalitan ng PAI ang Philippine Swimming Inc. na humalili sa Philippine Amateur Swimming Association na nawalan ng IF recognition.
“It’s in the POC constitution that once there is a recognize federation by the IF, we have to recognize that automatically as well,” sabi ni Tolentino.
