The Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines (ABAP) has announced the holding of the 2008 National Open youth and women?s amateur boxing championship on April 6-12 in Iloilo City.
Rogelio M. Fortaleza, ABAP secretary general, informed Mayor Jerry P. Tre?as in a letter dated January 10 that prior to the national competition among the country?s top amateur boxers, a regional and national accreditation seminar for referees and judges would be held in preparation for the event.
ABAP would invite teachers of the Department of Education for the accreditation seminar, said Marlon Lumacad, boxing project director.
Fortaleza asked the city government through Councilor Jose Espinosa III, chair of the city sports council, to shoulder the round-trip airfare of the person who will conduct the seminar, including his food and accommodation and honorarium of P12,000 or P1,500 a day for four days.
Lumacad, organizer of ?Box Iloilo Box?, said the host city and the local organizer have been requested to prepare a budget of P1.5 million for the national amateur boxing tournament.
?We have organized the different committees that will handle the event and we have already initial pledges from private sponsors,? said Lumacad who represents Erwin Chiongson?s Winner?s Gym and Elorde Gym.
