urges COA to audit PSC funds

Some Filipinos have judged Philippine sports today as absolutely
zero—judging from the fact that since 1996, when Onyok Velasco got
a silver, we have won no Olympic medals except in exhibition or
demonstration sports, like wushu.
Neither have we fared well in the Asian Games.
And no matter how we brag about our triumphs in
the Southeast Asian Games—as Frank Calapre writes in “Does RP
have a sports dev’t program? No!”—these medals are really
symbols of mediocrity because the bar is not high enough in SEAG to
hone an athlete’s cutting edge for championship in the Asian Games
and the Olympics.
