THE NEWLY elected officers of the Philippine Olympic Committee will chart the course of the Olympic body over the next four years during a planning session set Jan. 8 and 9.

(Part 1) Defeat, more than victory, defined what otherwise had been a momentous year in Philippine sports. Funny, but it continues to haunt us as we close a 365-day chapter in local sports.
AFTER announcing his withdrawal from the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) presidential race last Wednesday night, Go Teng Kok has become incommunicado.

Jose “Peping” Cojuangco Jr. officially earned a fresh four-year mandate as president of the Philippine Olympic Committee Friday.
If there was anything erstwhile POC presidential aspirant Go Teng Kok wanted to announce last Wednesday night, it was that he was seeking a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) to stop today’s POC elections at Alabang Country Club.
GO TENG Kok is packing heat of the emotional caliber while awaiting a decision from the election body of the Philippine Olympic Committee.

ALTHOUGH ignored by the opposition, athletics chief Go Teng Kok is not giving up hope for a partnership with the leaders of the group challenging the supporters of Jose “Peping” Cojuangco Jr. in the Philippine Olympic Committee elections.
AFTER all has been said, done and texted, does anybody have a clear idea of what will happen on Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) Election Day, Nov. 30?
THE PHILIPPINE Olympic Committee election committee plans to host an open forum on Nov. 15 where candidates for the POC polls on Nov. 30 at the Alabang Country Club can present their platform for the next four years.
Talk about dominating the sports news cycle. Business tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan is no publicity seeker. But by titillating sports reporters and junkies alike recently, he guaranteed himself of an almost round-the-clock sports coverage without really trying.
INITIALLY, POC presidential aspirant Go Teng Kok did not entertain any illusion of winning when he filed his candidacy.

Calling his candidacy as “mission impossible,” athletics chief Go Teng Kok formally challenged Jose “Peping” Cojuangco Jr. as president of the Philippine Olympic Committee elections by filing his candidacy Friday for the Nov. 30 polls.
