Now, it can be said that while Filipino athletes competed in various fronts at the 19th Asian Games, the country’s top two sports officials weren’t seeing eye to eye.

“Why send the letter on September 20? Why not after the closing ceremony? Perhaps October 10 when we have all gone home,” Tolentino told Filipino reporters. “Pero anong kinalaman ko dyan sa unliquidated amount noong 1998?
