THE crisis at the Philippine Tennis Association (Philta) is finally over.
The election of the federation’s board of trustees as prescribed by the International Federation through the Philippine Olympic Committee has been set on Dec. 11 at the Century Park Hotel in Manila.
POC president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino expressed relief over the resolution of the Philta crisis which started on December 3, 2020 when the ITF suspended the national sports association.
The ITF suspension was borne out of what the world governing body deemed as the Philta’s board of trustees having an “exclusive membership” and not a regional representation.
As a result, the ITF sought the POC to create an ad hoc body to oversee operations of the Philta while revising the NSA’s charter that hinges on a membership bordering on a genuine nationwide representation.
