The camp of Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose “Peping’ Cojuangco Jr. is confident he’s got enough number to finish his fourth term. Now 83, Cojuangco bested the late shooting chief Art Macapagal, 21-19, in 2008 for his second term as POC boss. The POC will hold reelections after Vargas’ camp recently won a court ruling overturning the POC decision to disqualify him and cycling’s Bambol Tolentino during the November 2016 polls. Running for president and chair, Vargas and Tolentino were initially disqualified for not attending enough GAs. But sources in POC camp said Romasanta may change his mind at the last minute and that would come in handy for Cojuangco.
