Former Taguig-Pateros spokesman and representative Alan Peter Cayetano said on Monday that he is hopeful that the Philippine Olympic Committee usher in a new era of sports focused on the well-being of Filipino athletes under the leadership of the representative by Cavite Abraham Tolentino when we have the information. “His re-election means the vote of confidence of the leaders of the national sports associations for a more progressive and receptive leader,” said Cayetano after Tolentino received a new mandate as president of the POC in the elections held in the city of Parañaque on 27 November 2020. Cayetano, who chaired the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee, which managed the organization of the 30th SEA Games in the Philippines last year, praised Tolentino for his effective and inspiring leadership style that contributed to the resounding success of the games. He said Tolentino played a crucial role in the country’s effort to regain the Philippine overall championship at the biennial sporting event. “We hope that the leadership of the POC continues to inspire and provide our athletes with the support they need during competitions,” he said. Cayetano said that after Friday’s elections, the POC leadership should strive to work towards the collective goal of improving the overall sports performance of the Philippines in future competitions. He expressed optimism that under Tolentino’s leadership, the Philippines will maintain the “legacy of winning” that it had regained during the 30th SEA Games. “I am confident that the power of collaboration and our strength as a Filipino people, which lies in fighting as one and winning as one and which we rediscovered during the SEA Games, will maintain its momentum,” said Cayetano. “I also look forward to seeing the POC intensify its programs and remain focused and committed to our shared vision, which is to make sport a shining inspiration for youth and a driving force for unity in our nation,” he added.
