Ramos: PFF throwing money away
THE PHILLIPPINE Football Federation (PFF) recently released P20,000 each to the 21 football associations as part of its financial assistance, however, Asian Football Confederation women’s committee deputy chairman Cristy Ramos questioned the timing of the dole out.
In an interview, PFF president Johnny Romualdez, said “We decided in one of the BOG (Board of Governors) meeting to extend financial assistance to the FAs (football associations), the amount is not that big.”
“I don’t want to put malice into the release, but is it just a coincidence that the PFF will hold its congress this month?” Ramos said.
The PFF BOG meeting and Congress will be on Feb. 25, at Ilo-ilo City and Romualdez needs the support of each of the FA presidents since he is reportedly facing a “vote of no confidence” charge that could throw him out of office.
Under Article 12 of the PFF by-laws, “Only the PFF Congress, by an absolute majority of the votes of the entire voting membership, may affect amendments, additions to or deletions from the Constitution and By-Laws, remove and replace the PFF President upon the recommendation of the Board of Governors."
National Capitol Region Football Association general-secretary Jojo Rodriguez admitted receiving P20,000 from the PFF last Wednesday but had no idea what’s it for, “There was no memo on what to do with it, just that the FAs who haven’t paid their dues to the PFF will have their dues deducted from it.”
Ramos questioned where the PFF is getting the funds since during her time with the Women’s Committee there request for more projects has always been turned down due to “lack of funds.”
“It has sort of become a motto, ‘walang pera’ and now they are doing this? Without any request for liquidation and where it will be spent? Where is the accountability in the PFF? Does that mean that the FA president can just spend it on anyway he wants and the PFF will not know? They are just throwing money away.”
Ramos also took offense in the harsh words of Romualdez against Rodriguez and NCRFA president Poch Borromeo, calling them “Pseudo-footballers who can kick with his insoles” in a statement forwarded to a national paper.
“He can call me a lousy player if he wants, but don’t hide from the issues. We are talking, administrative, management and planning matters here. Besides we are all retired,” she said.
