                    [Title] => Troubled NSAs must take hint from winning karateka
                    [Summary] => KUALA LUMPUR –"Leadership squabbles must not stop athletes from pursuing a mission to excel and serve the country well."


Thus said Philippine Sports Commission Chair Butch Tuason yesterday as he cited the heroics of karate-do athletes Jose Mari Pabillore and Gretchen Malalad in giving the Philippines its first two golds in the SEA Games as big lessons on how to buck the odds.

Tuason said that both Pabillore and Malalad are part of a karate-do association that was bugged by infighting even before the athletes left for Malaysia.
