Reports indicate that may very well be just that. POC insiders have revealed that MVP has committed to supporting the Philippine team which will be sent to the upcoming SEA Games.
With the POC's limited budget of just 30million, it would be impossible for them to send all qualified Filipino athletes to the SEA Games as each athlete-delegate is budgeted at around P100,000 each.
But with Manny Pangilinan seemingly taking care of 4 major sports (basketball, boxing, tae kwon do, badminton) more doors could be opened for the other Filipino athletes.
MVP has already taken under his wing the national basketball team (Smart-Gilas), the national football team (Azkals), plus the national teams for tennis, badminton, boxing, tae kwon do, running, baseball and cycling.
Maybe we should just name his President of Philippine Sports?
