Bong Go vows to check Philippine sports budget as part of Olympic post-evaluation
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go will conduct a post-evaluation of government and stakeholder support for the 2024 Paris Olympics delegation.
As Chair of the Senate Committee on Sports, Go aims to identify areas for improvement after the country secured a historic two gold and two bronze medals.
The evaluation was prompted by issues such as the golf team lacking official uniforms, with athletes resorting to taping the Philippine flag onto generic outfits.
Go expressed shock and deep sadness upon learning about the uniform situation for the golfers.
The initiative seeks to address shortcomings in supporting Filipino athletes and strengthen collaboration for future competitions.
