The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) is ready to send enlisted athletes back to their mother units at the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) if they are found to have failed the criteria set by the sports commission regarding their stay in the national pool.
"We have met with officials of the AFP and agreed in principle that some of the (enlisted) athletes and coaches should go back to their mother units," said PSC chairman Harry Angping.
Angping said that out of the 188 athletes and coaches currently assigned by the AFP to different national sports associations (NSAs), at least 100 are "non-performing" and will have to go back to their mother units.
"They have to go back to their barracks," said Angping, adding that athletes who are way past their fighting age would have to be reassigned back to their units in the AFP.
The PSC chairman added that the sports commission will help the AFP in organizing the AFP Olympics with the help of the NSAs.
"The NSAs will be invited and they will have the chance to recruit new talents from different AFP units," said Angping. – Perry Legaspi, GMANews.TV
