MANILA, Philippines: THE Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) General Assembly unanimously ratified the organization's amended constitution that was revised in strict compliance with the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) principles on good governance.

It took three years for the POC to finally secure the IOC's approval of the amendments that bordered on gender equity—at least 30 percent of the Executive Board must be female—to a maximum of three consecutive terms for officials and setting an age limit at 75 years old for POC leaders.
