Philippines withdrew from Asian Indoor Games futsal ?

Nhan Dan – The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) has decided not to take part in the third Asian Indoor Games (AIG 3) due to the continuous interference made by the Philippine Sports Committee (PSC) in POC’s works.
J. Camacho, head of the Philippine Sports Delegation said that the PSC had not respected the POC’s legitimate rights.
Initially, the POC proposed to send 160 athletes taking part in the AIG 3, but PSC only agreed to send around 50 athletes who would compete in seven events.

Manila times reporting now that Philippines will participate in 7 sports and not futsal but could expand to 14 sports , let`s wait and see . Very late to withdraw a week before they start.
