Philip Juico

Last updated

In late 2021, PATAFA, led by Juico, initiated a dispute with Filipino pole vaulter Ernest John Obiena involving the liquidation of finances related to the salary of Obiena's coach. [12]

Ethics violations

The Obiena dispute led the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) Ethics Committee to investigate Juico. The committee was presented evidence that Juico colluded to create untruthful statements, attempted confidentiality breaches and interfered with sponsorship discussions. These issues were considered unethical and violative of the provisions of the by-laws of the POC, specifically on uplifting the level of performance of Filipino athletes. The POC stated that Juico was given the opportunity to defend against accusations to his conduct but Juico declined due process. Based on the committees recommendations, the POC board declared Juico as persona non grata for his role in the harassment of the athlete. Juico responded that the POC had no jurisdiction over NSAs. The POC clarified its legal prerogative to declare anybody persona non grata and that PATAFA was not penalized, nor was Juico removed, suspended or reprimanded. [13] [14] The POC's ethics committee concluded that Juico had harassed the athlete by making "malicious public accusations". [15] [16]

The POC general assembly voted on January 26, to enforce the decision of declaring Juico persona non grata following the official's row with pole vault star EJ Obiena. Thirty-six members of the POC general assembly, including Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz and former Olympic swimmer Jessie Lacuna, voted in favor of the decision. [17]

Personal life

Juico is married to Margarita Penson. They have four children, including their youngest, incumbent Quezon City 1st District councilor Mayen Juico. [18]
