Katherine Santos, who tied for 6 votes, also failed to qualify.
Mary Joy Tabal, who was 4th with only 4 Votes, qualified for the Olympics along with Marestella and Eric Cray (who had already qualified at the time of this poll)

The Audience predicted with 14 of 41 votes 30-35 Golds, The Philippines in the 2017 SEA Games, in fact, ended up with 24 Golds total. So the voters were totally wrong again on this one. Pinoyathletics had predicted 25-32 golds. Pinoyathletics was correct as the Philippines had 25 Golds until Colin Syquia was stripped of Gold as his horse failed a doping test. 9 Predicted 25-32, which was somehow correct but not as correct as of the 7 that predicted 20-25

Pinoyathletics announces the closure of Three Legacy Groups.

Union of Grass Root Coaches

Pinoyathletics is announcing we are ending our ‘Union of Grass root coaches Group’. The page really did not serve its function. With members who will remain anonymous, one poaches an athlete from another group member, and others do not understand the group’s relevance regarding regionalization concepts.

Many members are going on about their issues and how they believe in regionalization but then do the complete opposite when recruiters come knocking. An upcoming project will fix all that soon.

The more trusted members have been added to my training group. And others in Mindanao can join the Mindanao Athletics Group.

One dude who definitely has been on board the whole time is Prof. Airnel Talatala Abarra, who now successfully is running his own Competition League in Mindanao.
