[Title] => POC overhauls national pool thru athletes profiles
[Summary] =>
The Philippine Olympic Committee will ask the different national sports associations to make a profile of all their athletes and help determine if they are still worthy of inclusion in the national pool.
Jose Cojuangco, the POC president, said this is the best way to know if there are athletes in the national pool who no longer have room for improvement and should therefore go.
Cojuangco said members of the POC executive committee will help the NSAs make the profile of their athletes. There are more than 800 athletes in the national and training pools.

[Title] => Nigerian suits up for SBC
[Summary] => All Nigerian Samuel Ekwe wants is to be a Benedictine priest. And play basketball for the San Beda Lions in the NCAA on the side.
Now he’ll get his wish as the Management Committee gave him the green light to play for the Lions when they take on the Jose Rizal Bombers in the 82nd NCAA cage wars beginning Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum.
Ekwe, 21, saw action in the Fr. Martin’s Cup and the ongoing Olympic Festival where he logged in significant minutes. His NCAA eligibility, however, was later questioned by a number of participating schools.

[Title] => ABAP suko na sa pagkuha ng dayuhang coach
[Summary] => Hindi na kukuha ng dayuhang coach ang boxing para magsanay ng National team na sasabak sa Doha Asian Games sa Disyembre.
Ayon kay Rogelio Fortaleza, secretary-general ng Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines, sumuko na sila sa pagkuha ng Cuban coach matapos na hiranging Cuban national coach ang orihinal nilang pinili na si Raul Fernandez Liranza.
Paulit-ulit na binibigo ng Cuban government ang hiling ng ABAP na makuha si Liranza noong 2005 SEA Games sa Manila.
