'PEPING' COJUANGCO UNOPPOSED IN RUNNING FOR 4TH TERM AS POC PRESIDENT By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 06 Oct 2016  Conjangco. Incumbent Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose "Peping" Cojuangco is running for a fourth term as president and indications are nobody will challenge him. Vice president Joey Romasanta told The Manila Standard that the elections will be held on November 25 in keeping with the POC Constitution where elections should be held on the last Friday of an Olympic year. He said that while Mr. Cojuangco has "actually not indicated that he's going to run", indications are that the 82 year old sports leader who stays fit by working out in the mornings and playing a round of golf at least once a week meets the basic qualifications and that there has been "no notification from anybody else" who aspires for the position. Romasanta said the basic qualifications is that any candidate for the POC presidency has to be "a sitting president of a National Sports Association and must be president of an Olympic association for at least four years." Besides, a general assembly resolution requires that "any candidate who who wishes to run for the position of president or chairman had to be active in so far as the POC activities are concerned, meaning attendance in the general assembly through the term and those are counted and reckoned with." Romasanta indicated that while the International Olympic Committee may have an age limit of 70, he doesn't know whether it is part of the IOC constitution, but that it does not bind the various national Olympic federations such as the POC and the absence of an age limit "is the rule that we have been following."
