AFTER a three-week break to give way to the country’s campaign in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games, the Philippine Sportswriters Association resumes its weekly Forum today, with Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino as special guest at the conference hall of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
Tolentino is expected to assess the Philippine performance in the Cambodia Games where it finished a fighting fifth or one notch below the 2021 edition in Hanoi, but collected a total of 58 gold medals, the most the country ever had in SEA Games held overseas since 1987.
Tolentino will also talk about the Filipino athletes’ coming bid in the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China this September, where some of the events serve as qualifiers for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The session starts early at 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. as Tolentino will be attending to some pressing matters at noontime.
