FINA withdrew its recognition of officers and board members of the Philippine Swimming Inc. (PSI) and created a stabilization committee that run the association’s day-to-day operations on the way to amending its by-laws and conducting new elections.
FINA withdrew its recognition of officers and board members of the Philippine Swimming Inc. and created a stabilization committee that run the association’s day-to-day operations on the way to amending its by-laws and conducting new elections.
Article C 10.6 of the FINA Constitution states that “The Bureau may under exceptional circumstances appoint a stabilization committee to the extent the executive body of a member fails to adhere to practices of good governance, transparency, financial accountability and stability, participation in FINA events, or puts at risk the organi[s]ation and development of Aquatics in their country.”
The FINA decision stemmed from various complaints it received from stakeholders in Philippine swimming, including one from a parent whose swimmer-daughter won gold at the Hanoi Southeast Asian Games last May but was excluded from the national team to the Budapest world championships last June. “This verdict just came down from the IF [FINA],” said POC president Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino, who likened PSI’s predicament experienced by the karate, volleyball and tennis associations. The karate and volleyball leadership crises have been resolved resolved, but the Philippine Tennis Association remains under a POC caretaker committee.
