POC asks PSC to release Harbin gold winner curling team incentives
Source: news.source.bworldonline
The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) has urged the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) to release the mandated P2 million incentives to the national curling team, which won a historic gold at the Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China. The delay in receiving these incentives could impact the team's preparation for the Winter Olympics qualifier.
Key Points
The POC requested the PSC to release P2 million in incentives to the curling team that won gold at the Asian Winter Games in Harbin.
POC President Abraham Tolentino highlighted the importance of these incentives for the team's training for the Winter Olympics qualifier.
The curling team's victory was historic, being the first gold by any Southeast Asian nation in any winter sports.
Before the Harbin success, the team competed at their own expense without government support.
The POC had previously given the team $5,000 (around P286,000) before they resumed training abroad.
As of the article's publication, the PSC had not yet responded to the POC's request.
