With regards to Angping's policy of banning Fil-fors..please be reminded that PSC, in which he chairs, is a gov't agency and International Olympic Commitee clearly mandates that the gov't should not and cannot intervene with the affairs of any National Sports Association (NSA) affiliated with IOC. PSC was established just to finance or give funding to the NSAs but they are not in the position to dictate to them what should or should not do.
Financially capable NSAs like the SBP and Phil Tennis Assoc will continue to recruit fil-fors because they can afford not to receive money from PSC. In fact, PhilTA will be playing its next Davis Cup tie with Fil-am Cecil Mamiit and another new US based player this month.
So dont worry about the fil-ams and fil-somethings we have on our basketball team. PSC has no authority to kick them out.
Phil. Swimming on the other hand relies heavily on the graces of PSC, that's why they vehemently opppose Angping's policy against fil-fors. Our best swmmers right now are all US-based. Another casualty maybe is the football federation which has fil-fors 3/4 of its roster. If only those 2 federations can have a patriach like SBP's Pangilinan and PhilTA's Jean Henri Lhuiller, they'll be in good shape.
