I would suggest that the host school of SY 2008-2009 of every league like UAAP,NCAA,PRISAA,etc. and even the oraganizer of Palarong Pambansa to come up with the resolution ASAP,regarding “The list of Authorized Racket Coverings” starting July 1,2008 advised by the ITTF,especially “Long Pips”,to avoid problems in the future.

It should be observed/implemented in the regional level pa lang.

@Butch, that will only create issues. It is easier for us to follow ITTF but I leave it to TATAP, they know what is best for Philippine table tennis.

TATAP is not connected with DepEd. DepEd ang me hawak nang Palarong Pambansa. DepEd has just started teaching the coaches training last July 23-27 here in CDo for Visayas and Mindanao. Marami din ang sumaling coaches sa table tennis, mga 90+ teachers.

I see, wala palang power ang TATAP dyan.
