"I might," said the flamboyant 50-year-old sports official, now based in this northern city where he juggles his work as provincial board member in charge of the committees on sports and tourism.

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.

As we bask in the afterglow of our first overall championship, many are rushing into the spotlight, ad libbing and a tossing in a little political soft-shoe routine to claim credit.


If you dig just beneath the surface, one of the men who was crucial to the outstanding performance of the athletes and kept a close watch on them and their resources (and has received very little recognition for it), is national training director Mike Keon.

East Timor ended up - no, down - in the cellar. This was expected. The East Timorese team organizers admitted at the very start that they were taking part in the SEAG despite financial constraints.

Mike Keon, the training director of the Filipino athletes who competed in the two-week event, said without these, Team Philippines couldn’t have done it despite the hometown advantage.
