Bachmann denies hand in liquidation demand to POC
PHILIPPINE Sports Commission chairman Richard Bachmann said it was the Commission on Audit which issued the memo demanding the Philippine Olympic Committee to liquidate expenses amounting to P10 million during the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok.
POC president Bambol Tolentino had blasted the PSC for the timing of the liquidation demand, which was issued right before the Philippine delegation competed in the 2023 Hangzhou Asiad.
Bachmann said while the COA has an in-house office in the PSC, the demand letter was sent straight to the POC and never passed through any other offices of the government sports agency including the Chairman's Office.
