PSC provides help to athletes, coaches
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Sports Commission will implement the government’s Social Amelioration Program or SAP for national athletes and coaches during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The PSC Board will approve the SAP for all members of the national team. Full details will be announced on April 30,” said PSC commissioner Ramon Fernandez after the board headed by chairman William Ramirez met online yesterday.
Fernandez said Philippine team members will receive P5,000 to P10,000 depending on the extent of the global pandemic.
The government agency will source the money from its remaining funds since the Philippine Gaming Corp. has placed its monthly allocation to the PSC on hold.
“Our accounting department is now in the process of studying it because it will depend on how much money the PSC has left since the PAGCOR is not remitting money to us for now,” said Fernandez.
Fernandez said special athletes under the PSC care will also benefit from the SAP.
