The Philippine Sports Commission, trying to avoid confrontation with Presidential Adviser Richard Gomez, said yesterday it was willing to sit down with the latter for the implementation of his Godfather Scheme, but hinted it would not work under the actor-national fencer.

President Joseph Estrada has deferred action on the proposed Atleta Program by the Philippine Sports Commission, apparently to study details of the country's sports program for elite sports.

The move, according to PSC chair Carlos Tuason, could be gleaned as a positive sign towards the approval and the subsequent implementation of the ambitious project, which seeks to support, train and harness the talents of potential Asian Games and Olympic Games medal winners.
