Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Ricky Vargas meets his board today in an executive session at the Philsports compound in Pasig City.
The executive meeting was called by eight of the 13 POC Board members who want some issues settled as the country prepares its hosting of the 30th SEA Games set Nov. 30 to Dec. 10.
Among the issues to be tackled was the creation of the Phisgoc Foundation, Inc., the group that now claims to be on top of SEAG preparations despite the absence of a POC Board approval.
The original Phisgoc now seems inactive but the preparations for the SEA Games have hit snags with POC officials saying delays are hampering the buildup.
But a call received by Vargas from Jerome Polvey, the IOC head of national Olympic committee relations from Lausanne, Switzerland, may settle these issues.
Archery association president Clint Aranas, speaking for the majority of the POC Board, however clarified that the general assembly of the council will continue to support the SEA Games despite the delays.
He said the national sports associations (NSA) have continuously trained their athletes for the Games.
