What is IOC representative Elizalde’s role?

I had wanted to call former POC president Cito Dayrit, who wrote a book on Olympism and is considered an authority on the subject, and ask him to define the role of International Olympic Committee representative Frank Elizalde with regard to the Philippine Olympic Committee.
Considering the countless problems plaguing the various National Sports Associations, it would be interesting to find out what Elizalde has done through the years, if he has done anything at all, aside from socializing.
Elizalde was at the recent POC General Assembly meeting when Patafa chief Go Teng Kok was denied a chance to defend himself against charges that he was engaging in acts inimical to the interest of POC members and was expelled based on a resolution signed by 37 members.
My guess is that GTK, who has been sending out text messages denouncing the alleged corruption in the local Olympic body, had angered POC president Peping Cojuangco and his allies like Mark Joseph and Monico Puentevella.
Further infuriating Cojuangco and company was the fact that GTK had joined hands with former Sen. Nikki Coseteng in denouncing Joseph and filing a case against him and former Pagcor chief Ephraim Genuino for the direct grant of P30 million to Joseph as Pasa president. Joseph allegedly ploughed some of the amount back into the Trace swimming facility owned by Genuino.
Based on the request for a TRO filed by Go to stop his expulsion from the POC, it seemed that the IOC charter’s rules regarding charges filed against an NSA official were ignored.
The sad part about this is that when reporters asked Elizalde for his views, he gave them a blunt “no comment!” for an answer.
If that’s the case, what was he there for?

Elizalde is obviously not enamored with Go Teng Kok, who had trouble with him in the past over basketball and his support of former BAP secretary general Graham Lim. When Go asked him for help in informing the IOC president Jacques Rogge about alleged anomalies in the POC, Elizalde turned him down.
Not only that, he said he was sick and tired of Go’s shenanigans and all his text messages and that Go was  a control freak and a meddler in many, many NSAs. But what was as almost as bad as Go Teng Kok’s text messages was Elizalde saying that Go is in sports “because he’s got really nothing else to boast about in his life.”
What also upset me being a woman and a friend was his reference to former Sen. Coseteng as “this Nikki woman who, to my knowledge, has absolutely nothing to do with any recognized sports organization here.”
It was both improper and ungentlemanly to refer to Nikki the way he did, especially since she is a former senator, even if Elizalde probably didn’t vote for her. For the information of the IOC representative who seems to be out of touch, Nikki is the daughter of  the PBA founding chair, the late Emerson Coseteng, and at one time served as manager of the Mariwasa team in the pro league where the late Don Manolo Elizalde also owned a team.
Given all this, we wonder how useful Elizalde is to the IOC as well as to the POC when, rather than act as a mediator and a calming influence, he takes sides and in the process insults people. It’s simply not right.

Recent Manila visitor Paris Hilton is so visually stimulating, I wish we could have seen more of her.  Nothing much has also been written or said about her, while television practically showed the same videos over and over again—her arrival, her press conference and her dinner with the Pacquiaos.
