THE Samahang Kickboxing ng Pilipinas (SKP) and the Philippine Esports Organization (PEO) have become regular members of the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).
The SKP, which is headed by Senator Francis Tolentino, and the PEO will be officially welcomed by Philippine Olympic Committee President Abraham Tolentino in Monday’s general assembly meeting at the Knights Templar Hotel in Tagaytay.Both sports had contributed greatly to the country finishing fourth in the Hanoi Games following a 52-gold, 70-silver and 105-bronze medal haul.
Kickboxing came through with a two-gold, four-silver and six-bronze harvest while esports chipped in a couple of mints and the same number of silver. This means the SKP and PEO will have the same voting power like the rest of the more than 50 national sports associations as regular members.
