Tumanggi si Ramirez na maging 2019 SEAG Chef de Mission
MANILA, Philippines — Tinanggihan ni Philippine Sports Commission chairman William “Butch” Ramirez ang alok ng Philippine Olympic Committee bilang Chef of Mission ng Team Philippines para sa darating na 2019 Southeast Asian Games na gaganapin dito sa bansa ngayong Nobyembre 30 hanggang sa Disyembre 11.
“Yesterday, I got a call from Cong. Bambol Tolentino, who on behalf of the Philippine Olympic Committee as its Chairman, very kindly offered me the Chef de Mission tasks for Team Philippines’ 2019 Southeast Asian Games participation. After some moment of introspection, and to finally put to rest all speculations, I now issue this statement to humbly and officially decline the offer. Thank you very much for considering this humble servant,” sabi ni Ramirez sa kanyang official statement kahapon.
Naniniwala si Ra-mirez na sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaisa ay madaling mareresolbahan ang problema upang itaguyod ang Philippine sports sa matataas na antas.
“Today, we wake up to a Philippine sports world in shambles. After the tumultuous event in the yard of our POC partners, we all find ourselves at a crossroads in our journey. I believe that unity is vital in any endeavor. More so in this ideal, that we all undertake in our own capacities - to push Philippine sports to its highest possibilities,” pahayag ni Ramirez.
Kahit tinanggihan niya ang posisyong inalok sa kanya ng POC, nangako si Ramirez sa walang kupas na suporta para sa Team Philippines.
“I am a public servant. I am bound by duty to deliver what is demanded of me by the law. Whether or not I am CDM in SEA Games 2019, I and the PSC will surely provide our full and sincere support to Team Philippines,” dagdag ng Davaoeño sports Czar.
