PKF’s Manansala slams POC move

Philippine Karatedo Federation (PKF) President Jose Manansala slammed the arbitration committee of the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) headed by Robert Aventajado for hiring a “karate outsider” to oversee the selection of the members of the national karate team for this year’s Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Aventajado, also the president of the Philippine Taekwondo Association, appointed former taekwondo national coach Rocky Samson for the task. Meanwhile, Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) commissioner Ramon Fernandez said the PSC has appointed Ricky Lim as representative in the process.
