The Philippine Sports Commission is leaving it all to the Philippine Olympic Committee to decide who goes to the Asian Games in November based on its P30 million budget for the Nov. 12-27 competition in Guangzhou, China.
"The PSC has no say on the selection of the athletes. We just finance the Games as we see fit," said PSC chair Richie Garcia after attending the POC general assembly on Wednesday.
The country sent 233 athletes, who won four golds overall, in the 2006 Doha Asiad.
The POC earlier hinted at sending about 300 this time with the inclusion of the dragon boat teams and the possible qualification of women's softball and women's basketball.
