The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) has announced that it will temporarily stop giving financial support to the Philippine Karatedo Federation (PKF) because of an alleged mishandling of funds of its secretary-general Raymond Lee Reyes. Members of the PKF have filed a complaint against Reyes for allegedly short-changing them. PSC Chairman William Ramirez, with other PSC commissioners and executive director Sannah Frivaldo faced the media on Friday to announce what is being done to resolve the issue. “Therefore, we have agreed in the board this morning that effective today we will suspend all funding to PKF and No. 2 we are instructed by the executive director to restrict any PKF officials to talk or to be near the athletes complaining until the investigation is resolved,” Ramirez told reporters.
