Puentevella, a former PSC commissioner who once headed the House Committee on Youth and Sports, filed House Resolution No. 1050 upon learning that the PSC stands to receive a measly budget of P27 million this year.

Puentevella said this is not the way to treat the PSC or Philippine sports in general, considering that the country had just won the overall crown in the Southeast Asian Games.

Ramirez said the government, particularly Congress and the Commission on Audit, is now very strict against the PSC on how it spends its annual budget for the training of the national athletes.
