UNLESS Mari Martinez grows a conscience (and we�d discover life in Mars), it looks like we�re going to have him as the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) president for the rest of his term.
In a recent BOG meeting attended by 10 members, there was a proposal to oust Martinez, who is no longer trusted that he�s been removed as a signatory of PFF funds.
The presidents of the Football Associations (FAs) of Iloilo, Dumaguete, Cebu, Naga and North Cotabato voted to have the proposal to oust Martinez submitted to the PFF Congress in three weeks� time.
The presidents of the FAs of Baguio, Camarines Norte, Tagum, Tarlac and Pagadian, said, �No.�
Since it was a tie, guess who had the authority to break it?
Martinez, of course.
The same guy who, in their previous meeting, said he transferred the PFF funds from its account to another person�s for safekeeping. It�s like leaving your laptop and cell phone unattended, outside, for safekeeping.
Naturally, that safekeeping measure didn�t work and based on an audit report, P3.7 million and $44,373 of those funds are unaccounted for.
It isn�t surprising that Martinez got the support of the five Board of Governors (BOGs) (I�d like to know if these five even have a football tournament in their FAs), when the previous president faced similar moves, he released P20,000 to all FA presidents, supposedly for communication assistance.
Did Martinez pay for their support?
