BAGONG tiwala sa bagong liderato ng Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).
Ito ang siniguro ng SMART Sports para sa maayos na panunungkulan ng bagong pamunuan sa Olympic body.
“Basically, given that the administration of the POC is now headed by president Ricky Vargas and chairman Tolentino, after a couple of weeks, we have already seen some of their plans,” pahayag ni SMART Sports head Christopher Quimpo. “As one of the patrons of Philippine sports, Smart is committed to support Mr. Vargas and Chairman Bambol with regards to whatever way we can support them.”

“For bowling, it’s going to be for their international competitions. For badminton, it will be a national approach,” anitya.
