Fraser added that Haggerty’s visit to the Philippines “is not specifically related to any internal dispute within the Philippines Tennis Association”. The Philippine Tennis Association (Philta) Board of Trustees has elected Salvador Andrada to assume the presidency and finish the unexpired term of Edwin Olivarez until 2018. In a press statement, Philta Vice President Randy Villanueva claimed to have the ITF recognition as Philta president. The Philta election was witnessed by gymnastics association president Cynthia Carrion, who acted as Philippine Olympic Committee representative.
