The petition of the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) regarding the inclusion of the four original Gilas Pilipinas team members has been “officially denied,” the POC said.
Terrence Romeo, Calvin Abueva, Jason Perkins and Mo Tautuaa were ruled ineligible a few days before the team was set to fly to China for Gilas Pilipinas’ stint in the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou due to technicalities.
POC president Bambol Tolentino on Saturday answered in the affirmative when asked in an interview aired on One PH’s Power and Play if the appeal has been officially declined.“Yes [it has been officially declined.] That is why, even if they decline it 1,000 times, I will appeal 1,000 times more,” he said in Filipino.
The POC president said that the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas might have been too busy during the FIBA World Cup, which led them to come into the Asiad a bit surprised with the developments.
