The Philippine Sports Commission, trying to avoid confrontation with

with the latter for the implementation of his Godfather Scheme, but hinted it
would not work under the actor-national fencer.

"He (Richard Gomez) should approach us and brief us about the Godfather Program
because surprisingly, we have little knowledge of this project," said PSC
commissioner Ricardo Garcia, who spoke in behalf of the PSC.

The gap that separated the Philippine Sports Commission and presidential sports
and youth adviser Richard Gomez came into focus yesterday when Malacanang
announced there are now two fund-raisers for national athletes -- the Atleta of
the PSC and the Godfather project of Goma.

Executive Secretary Ronaldo Zamora yesterday informed the PSC that the
President had approved the Godfather Program of Gomez without saying whether he
has junked the Atleta Program of the PSC.

Whether it was meant to demean the PSC or not, the approval of President Joseph
Estrada surprisingly came on th

President Joseph Estrada has deferred action on the proposed Atleta Program by
the Philippine Sports Commission, apparently to study  details of the country's
sports program for elite sports.

The move, according to PSC chair Carlos Tuason, could be gleaned as a positive
sign towards the approval and the subsequent implementation of the ambitious
project, which seeks to support, train and harness the talents of potential
Asian Games and Olympic Games medal winners.
