While everything is at standstill, particularly in colleges and universities sports activities, the FESSAP Executive Committee and the National Secretariat continue to dialogue with all the school league-organizations members and sports clubs regarding its preparation, but for the time being once the pandemic is contained.

Know about the Truth regarding the issue between the BAP and SBP that the FIBA Secretariat led by Patrick Baumann, Bob Elphinston and Borislav Stankovic subsequently manipulated for unbelievable reasons to favour the SBP.
Read through the handwritten agreement between the BAP and SBP that was brokered by FIBA secretary general Patrick Baumann known as the "Bangkok Agreement" and one will find out that it was not followed to the letter after the signing was made.
The Bangkok Agreement was never respected by the SBP leadership and was manipulated to illegally gain control of the national basketball federation in the Philippines in connivance with the Philippine Olympic Committee and the FIBA secretariat.
(See the page for "Bangkok Agreement. The Truth Behind" for further information.)
