Dear Dato' Yeoh, Good day! Today is the one month old of our arrangement with Patrick Baumann, until this moment I got nothing even a piece of letter from them. I am tire of their maneuvering and disregard of the Bangkok Agreement, you mention that Patrick is going to call me while I wait for that to ask him the final word from him what would he say about the BAP-SBP, if negative and doesn't want to touch anything then I am deeply sorry I will personally raise against him on all his racist, conspiracy, fraud, illegal marketing and unexplained privileges. This will surely embarrass all the FIBA members but what the price I have to pay, I will just be out from FIBA and FIBA Asia, I will not commit any friendship and any relation within the FIBA and FIBA Asia, I am just honest to you Dato, I don't have anything to hide, I know within FIBA family there will be a lot of hurt feeling, but as I said, outside FIBA, I gain much of a respect because I am exposing their greed and illegal maneuvering. Dato, you know we are not going to be fool around and I will never accept this humiliation and conspiracy. Bigger plan await my attack against them, some might be affected or maybe all will be affected because this battle will surely escalated to war and damages I hope might destroy the credibility of FIBA itself. As I said, last week I visited Hong Kong and talk to Carl, Mabel, Mr. Yu to explain to them the Bangkok Agreement and they will fight for us in the FIBA Central Board but I can't wait until May 2009, maybe things will be escalated already on my fighting FIBA. Mabel told me to inform you to make a report to FIBA regarding the Bangkok Agreement which was not followed and respected, this is a heinous crime and can't be forgiven. These violation are the facts in the Bangkok Agreement that Pangilinan's group is distorting in collusion with Baumann: a. The right of the BAP to nominate of the Chairman in the BAP- SBP Unity Congress was repeatedly ignored by Pangilinan's group since Day One and the BAP nominee, Congressman Luis Villafuerte, was never invited to attend any Board meeting even if we had advised them of Villafuerte's designation. Baumann never made a move to correct this mistake simply because he was promised by Pangilinan of potential marketing revenues b. The June 4, 2008 election of the set of officers was valid and legitimate. This is the election that the FIBA secretariat should recognize. In this election, the following were voted: Congressman Luis Villafuerte, Honorable Prospero Pichay, Mr. Christian Tan as BAP-SBP Chairman, President and Executive Director, respectively. But Baumann chose to keep a blind eye to this development and instead recognized the bogus June 12, 2008 election of Manuel Pangilinan, who lacked the quorum to elect a 25-man Board and no support from the original 87-member electorate approved by the Bangkok Agreement and FIBA secretariat. The voting list of Pangilinan's group was trimmed to just 19 members. Out of the 19, five were newly created, two failed to attend, two withdrew and another pair disagreed with the bogus election. c. Baumann's letter dated May 13, 2008 was crystal-clear. A lawyer that he claims he is, Baumann cannot deny what he himself wrote. But Baumann is a different animal who does not care about his own integrity, let alone FIBA's. His actions further eroded the credibility and reputation of the FIBA secretariat. d. FIBA Asia has already investigated the matter and concluded that the election of Pangilinan was invalid due to a lack of quorum. Should we once again disregard FIBA Asia like what happened in the FIBA Asia Congress held in Kuwait in June 2006 when a resolution approved by the FIBA Asia Congress in support for the lifting of suspension of the BAP was ignored, disregarded? Is FIBA Asia without any rights at all? This is totally absurd and an injustice done to Asian member countries. e. Baumann dishonestly reported to the FIBA Central Board that the BAP-SBP held an election and it was Pangilinan's group that won the election because it was recognized by Philippine Olympic Committee (POC). Again, I remind Patrick already that the POC has nothing to do with an independent national federation and maliciously delivered to you a message that everything was settled. This is a scandalous crime that we will never forget and forgive. Baumann conveniently connived with the Pangilinan's group to come up with a conclusion without any investigation or justification. I know you care about us especially me, but if I don't have great important to FIBA Asia then that is my destined to be me. I always tell Sai Baba to help us fight those manipulators and guide you to greatness and also to give you more strength to do what is righteous to human civilization. As you advised I await Baumann calls after then, things might look in different ways, good or worse. My patience for injustice committed by Patrick Baumann and the rest is on call now, I am so sorry this matter has to end in my continue fighting, this time in different prospective against them! Take care Dato', I wish things will look positive but honestly, I don't trust Baumann anymore and don't have any fear on him, especially I don't see any clear light coming, I am sorry for that, anyone might get hurt on my issue but that is reality, "when you enter the battle zone, expect for the worse".
