2018 Philippine Olympic Committee Elections
In November 2016, the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) held an election which saw Jose "Peping" Cojuangco win a fourth term as president after Victorico "Ricky" Vargas was disqualified for not being an "active member" of the committee. Tolentino, a candidate for the chairman position was also disqualified on the same grounds. The camp of Vargas said that being an active member does not equate to physical attendance which the POC led by then incumbent President Cojuangco insists. This led to Vargas to seek a temporary restraining order to stop the 2016 elections and rule on the POC's commission on election's authority to define the eligibility criteria of being an active member.

Wack Wack Golf And Country Club
Wack Wack Golf and Country Club is a golf course and country club resort complex located in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines. The complex features two 18-hole championship courses, landscaped terrains, gardens and villas. History Wack Wack was founded by William James Shaw in 1930 – because he was disgusted that Larry Montes, a caddie who had won the 1929 Philippine Open tournament (and later many subsequent tournaments) at the Manila Golf Club in Caloocan, of which Shaw was a member, had been asked to leave the tournament celebration, by virtue of an alleged rule against the presence of caddies inside the Manila Golf Club. During the American colonial period, exclusive clubs in the Philippines such as the Manila Golf Club, Baguio Golf Club, and the Manila Polo Club tend to be reserved only to Americans. Shaw was also ostracized due to his marriage to a Filipino. The discrimination towards Montes and himself, led to Shaw to establish the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club ...
