I'm
not going there, thus said international referee George Magsino.
This
was the gist of the statement made by the veteran internationalist
during a meeting attended by all municipal commissioners of
the local Baskeball Association of the Philippines (BAP) on
November 16 at the UB gym.
Magsino
denied reports that he committed to conduct an accreditation
clinic on basketball officiating in Guindulman town sometime
in December this year. He categorically stated that there
will be no seminars and/or clinic of this kind without following
the proper protocol.

All
request for accreditation seminar must as a matter of
policy be channeled through the local commissioners
of the corresponding area. And in this jurisdiction,
Madanguit, the provincial commissioner of BAP Bohol
must have given the go-signal on any activity like this
one.
It
might be recalled that a group of people allegedly pretending
to be a member of the BAP led by a certain Romy Delima
and Joseph Dalope, and John Does who allegedly solicited
or invited some members of the BAP in the eastern and
northern part of the province relative to an accreditation
seminar to be held sometime in December this year.

The
member who were reportedly approached and invited were Municipal
Commissioner Rene Sistona of Candijay; Rafael Butcon, Jr.
of Alicia; Donato Lumacang, Jr. of Anda; Municipal Kag. Eddie
Ybanez of Mabini.
Likewise,
active BAP members Parowald Bernido of Mabini and Joseph Lao
of Candijay were allegedly been invited by the group too.
All
of the above relayed the matter to the provincial office.
And the latter news caused the local BAP to alarm its municipal
chapter.
Meanwhile,
the local hierarchy of the BAP would like to reiterate that
there is no local chapter of the association in Guindulman.
Furthermore, the latter does not recognize anyone as BAP member
in the area.
