Filipina rugby player Ada Milby doesn’t only want to help further improve Philippine Sports, but she also wants to leave an imprint in the field.
The first woman to join the World Rugby Council will be running for a seat in the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) with the desire to elevate PH sports.
Milby will go up against former national athlete Richard Gomez who will be running under the party of incumbent POC president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino.
Her vision is simple: creating a specific team that is on the same page of reaching a common goal while also executing and practicing good governance.
“So, how can the POC be a good coach for the NSA, to coach them to be better organizations, to have good governance, to have good policies, to have good selection criteria for their national programs,” said Milby.
As an athlete herself representing the Philippines numerous times as a member of the Philippine national women’s rugby team, Milby said experiencing the field as an athlete would be her edge in the candidacy.
“You can think of a bunch of programs and stuff, but if you’re guided by the strategic document, and you’re guided by how you can support the NSA on an ongoing basis, then that would be the two most key things that I would be pushing for,” Milby added.
