OLYMPIAN pole vaulter Ernest John Obiena has been reinstated to the national team after the Philippine Athletic Track and Field Association endorsed his re-inclusion, along with five other athletes, to the Philippine Sports Commission.

PSC Executive Director Atty. Guillermo Iroy Jr. said Obiena’s reinstatement takes effect this month, adding the Patafa endorsement falls within the team quota of athletics.

Patafa board members voted to reinstate Obiena to the national team last Aug. 13.
