PHILIPPINE Basketball Association Commissioner Willie Marcial joins Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas President Monico Puentevella in an interesting two-part session of the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum online edition on Tuesday.
Marcial will give an update on the league’s plan to have a late May or an early June opening for its 46th season.
Puentevella, meanwhile, will discuss Rio 2016 silver medalist Hidilyn Diaz’s bid in Tokyo, her fourth-straight Olympic appearance.
Puentevella, also a former Philippine Sports Commission commissioner, will also talk about the bright future of the sport in the country in the wake of the Filipino lifters’ successful campaign in the recent Asian Weightlifting Championship in Tashkent led by Vanessa Sarno (two golds, one silver), Erleen Ando (three silvers) and Mary Flor Diaz (three silvers).
The session—presented by San Miguel Corp., Milo, Amelie Hotel Manila, Braska Restaurant, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.—starts at 10 a.m.
