Tolentino's Gold POC Gives Incentives to Philippine Curling Team

Tolentino's Gold POC Gives Incentives to Philippine Curling Team

As the curtains close on another successful Asian Games, the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) has taken a significant step forward by rewarding the country's men's curling team with cash incentives. Led by POC President Abraham Bambol Tolentino, this gesture not only acknowledges the team's dedication but also recognizes their sacrifices.

A Token of Appreciation

During a pre-flight lunch at the New World Hotel in Makati City, each member of the men's curling team received $5,000 as an incentive from the POC Executive Board. While Tolentino notes that the amount may not fully parallel the team's effort and dedication, it is a small way for the POC to express its gratitude.

It's no joke funding your own participation in international events, specifically a blue-chip sport like curling, Tolentino said, highlighting the financial investments made by the team ahead of the Harbin games. This incentive is one small way for the POC to show its appreciation.

A Team on the Rise

The men's curling team, comprising Marc Pfister, Christian Haller, Enrico Pfister, Alen Frei, alternate and Curling Pilipinas President Benjo Delarmente, and Pfister's wife Jessica, has made significant strides in international competitions. Their achievement is all the more impressive considering they have been self-funding their campaign ahead of the Harbin games.

Setting Sights on Milano Cortina

As the team and the country bask in the glory of their successful stint in Harbin, Tolentino is already looking to the future. Serious efforts are underway to qualify for next year's Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, with the POC President emphasizing that the path to Milano Cortina has become clearer.

A First-Winter Olympics Medal

Tolentino is not content to simply stop at winning a gold medal in Harbin. He wants the country to win its first Winter Olympics medal. With the men's curling team as the vanguard, the POC President believes that this can be achieved.

The path to Milano Cortina has become clearer, and on to our goal of a first Winter Olympics medal, Tolentino said, his eyes fixed on the horizon.
