PFF is committing more mistakes:Ramos
ACCORDING to Cristy Ramos, the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) will commit more mistakes if it pushes through with its planned women's invitational tournament which the national women's Under 19 team will participate in April in Marikina City.
The PFF is planning to invite countries it considers weaker to send their senior women's team to play the U19 team, after the team's planned stint in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) was canceled after the PFF failed to send it's entry form on time.
According to PFF president Johnny Romualed, they will meet with the women's committee today to decide on the "possibility of the women's team to play in an international tournament."
"It (tournament) doesn't serve any purpose, it doesn't earn any ranking points for the team. They are committing more mistakes to cover up for the previous mistake," Ramos told Sun.Star Cebu yesteday.
Ramos also questioned the timing of the event and where the PFF will get it's funding.
"Ba't biglang nagkapera? Last year they always tell us, there's no funds (for the women's)," said Ramos, who is also the deputy chair of the AFC women's committee.
Ramos continued that Instead of holding an invitational tournament, the PFF should just pour its funds into the staging of a local Under 16 or Under 19 tournament for the girls as more will benefit.
"The PFF doesn't have enough budget, they have to be more careful (with the funds)," she said.
Ramos also belied Romualdez's insinuations that she, along with supporters of the other losing candidates in the PFF elections are out to get him.
"If they (backers of other candidates) agree with me on this issue, fine, but I haven't talked with Mari Martinez, nor to Monico Puentevella (losing candidates) at all so there is no collusion or collaboration versus Romualdez. My only role was to bring this out in the public," she said.
Ramos continued that it is now up to the Board of Governors to act on the issue and to demand the truth from Romualdez.
The PFF BOG will meet this Feb 25 in Ilo-ilo City and Romualdez said that there is no gag order on the AFC issue and he is willing to discuss it.
"It's not an election year but the congress has the power to impeach the president. I am not the president of any FA or a member of the BOG, sa tabi-tabi lang," Ramos said.
