Pangilinan, siniguro ang pagsama sa 24th SEA Games

-
Tiniyak kahapon ni Fil-Am swimmer Jackie Pangilinan ang kanyang paglahok sa 24th South-east Asian Games sa Thailand sa susunod na taon.

 Matatandaang hindi nakasali ang 19-anyos na Fil-Am tanker sa naka-raang 15th Asian Games sa Doha, Qatar bunga ng kanyang 'commitment' sa Harvard University kung saan siya isang third year college student at nasa ilalim ng isang scholarship program.

 "Aside from compe-ting in the collegiate meets, Jackie also set her sights for the two inter-national swimming com-petitions for 2007," sabi ng ama niyang si Florante. "She's looking forward to represent our country again in the 2007 SEA Games."

 Bago ang 2007 SEA Games sa Thailand sa Disyembre, sasabak mu-na si Pangilinan sa FINA World Championships sa Melbourne, Australia sa Marso, dagdag ni Florante.

 Ang pagpili sa kapa-kanan ng Harvard Univer-sity ay bahagi ng kanilang kasunduan upang maka-lahok si Pangilinan sa 2007 SEA Games.

 "We have to do this so that Jackie can be release for the 2007 Southeast Asian Games. It was an arrangement we had with Harvard for Jackie to represent Harvard in the collegiate swimming com-petitions," wika ni Florante.

 Sa 23rd SEA Games noong 2005, lumangoy si Pangilinan ng 1 silver at 2 bronze medals.(RC)
