Former Philippine Olympic Committee president Ricky Vargas personally came out Monday in support of the POC general assembly resolution of Sept.

30 asking the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee for its delayed report, including the audited financial statements, on the 30th SEA Games last December.

“That should be done. I and the POC are not hiding anything,” he stressed after PHISGOC failed to meet the Oct. 10 deadline set by the local Olympic body in submitting the report, the financial statements included. This is long overdue since Commission on Audit rules require recipients of government funds, like PHISGOC, to complete its liquidation in 60 days. This led the POC to call for a special election July 28, 2019 where Tolentino, who was then the POC chairman, got elected after beating athletics chief Philip Ella Juico, 24-20.

“The President upon his own instance, or upon the request addressed to the Secretary General, may call a special meeting of the Executive Board,” the provision states. Huelgas is a back-to-back SEA Games men’s triathlon gold medalist and is affiliated with the Triathlon Association of the Philippines led by Tom Carrasco, who is running as chairman on the ticket of Tolentino.
