MANILA, Philippines—Clubs waiting to join the elections of PhilCycling will undergo careful scrutiny before being declared eligible to vote in the polls of the national federation slated next month.
PhilCycling president Bert Lina announced this Saturday in a meeting at the Tagaytay International Convention Center.
The federation is set to submit pertinent papers—voting membership, notice of election, constitution and by-laws, among others—to the Philippine Olympic Committee in the next few days, he said.
Close to 100 cycling clubs from all over the country are expected to join the quadrennial elections on Jan. 16 at the Amoranto Multi-Purpose Hall in Quezon City.
Fifteen members of the board will be elected in the polls. They will then elect from among themselves the officers of the board.
A national open competition in road racing and mountain bike will be held in Tagaytay City on Jan. 15 and in track in the morning of Jan. 16 at the Amoranto velodrome.
Attending Saturday’s meeting were Oscar “Boying” Rodriguez, a councilor from Danao City who led the representatives from the Visayas, and Franklin Gonzales and Jun Paholio, who headed the clubs from Mindanao.
Bicol region was represented by Talisay Vice Mayor Juancho Ramorez, while 1974 Tour champion Modesto Bonzo represented Pangasinan. Tagaytay Mayor Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino headed the city representation.
With Lina in Saturday’s meeting were board members Paquito Rivas, Jun Lomibao, Carlos Gredonia, Albert Garcia, Armando Camiling and Jojo Villa. Absent were Cornelio Padilla Jr., Ronnie Ferrer and Antonio “Loi” Cruz, the federation chair.
