                    [Summary] => The Pelota de Manila Tournament (PDMT) or Jai-Alai is not sanctioned by Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).


POC secretary general Romeo Ribaño underscored this yesterday to debunk claims of PDMT which is holding dubious never-ending tournaments in preparation, it said, for the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece.

"Hindi
sanctioned ng POC ang grupong ito (PDMT). Kahit anong pelota organization o event ay hindi namin kinikilala o suportado dahil hindi naming kino-consider ang pelota as sport," Ribaño said.
