The rest of the product used to go to the PSC were directed to the Social Fund of the President.

The practice continues during the administration of President Joseph Estrada as President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Zubiri pointed out that not even a President may amend a statute enacted by the Senate and Congress.

"His Kung time nor former President Ramos ito nangyari, dapat nang matapos ang term niya ay bumalik din its dati ang monthly contributions ng even his PSC.". Pero hindi na ito hanggang ngayon, nabago "added Garcia."

"It (34 runs at Old Trafford to win) gave us a lot of confidence in being the best opener for the Business. Bat first, and a strong batting line up pressure in Western India strategy worked for vulnerable to the placing on the market under pressure.

"One-dayers, it is important to be able to play as well as, in particular, however, a good day in the life of a group, it must, if it plays poorly, you get a second chance to come back to the game. This was of course a decisive win the Berbice, because being invincible West Indians myth was "cease to be a deterrent.

Western India was the world's top cricket tests and ODIs group at that time, while the Australian and English were also Tipped Title. Vengsarkar, said the Indian were dark horses.

"I am not getting carried away, ' said BBC Scotland.

"It was a six-pointer, but many people who ask numerous questions about us and heart-and players have answered that.

"There is a huge gap between us and heart, but there is a lot of football to play yet.

Scottish Premier League leaders Celtic is now ten points ahead of his side of Edinburgh, whose 11-game unbeaten run in Glasgow was to stop.

And Lennon thought the performance was even better than the humiliation 9-0 Aberdeen earlier in the season.

"In terms of pidalioycho performance was much better than the performance of Aberdeen although we did result that many objectives," he said.

Sammy has no intimation of my leave and not going anywhere

"Intensity and approach to the game was excellent and we got a grip of the midfield very quickly.

Lennon highlighted the influence midfield Captain Scott Brown and Charlie Mulgrew, playing as aforaayti in the heart of defence, for Special praise left-back.

"I thought we were brilliant from start to finish," he said. "There were some major performance and did everything I asked of them.

Japan and South Korea lead the way to the Asian Football

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Qatar hosts the Asia at the end of the second World Cup 2022, but only two teams in the territory of all the opportunities to win the Asian Football Confederation President Mohammed Bin Hammam.

"We have two very good teams, or would like to say, good practice in Asia: Japan and South Korea," Bin Hammam told the Associated Press. "If none, I believe that the Japanese, or Korean, it may be that the lifts in the World Cup team. "

Many felt the Japanese Asian Championships semifinal win over South Korea on Tuesday was a worthy final quality and benefits of the two countries continue to co hosting the World Cup in 2002.

As a result, they have a well-organized professional domestic leagues, fully, and may invite the European experience of the players.

South Korea has played in the last seven World Cups and progressed over a period of at least five of the last Asian Cups quarterfinals. Japan has been offered, the last four World Cups and was Asia champion three times since 1992.

Both the configuration of the assemblies, the Qatar brought an action before the Court of 25 average with age. The Australian was 28, Lucas Neill, Harry Kewell, Mark Schwarzer and Tim Cahill, all on one side with 30 key actors.

Joining the Tiltable in 2006, Australia in the Asia-Pacific region, with the Confederation has a strong core, but the Asian Championships was the sense that, at the same time, the Eastern half of the teams were getting stronger, they were then in their wake.

Iran is used to manage the Asian football, but the three Asian Championships win last came in 1976, and outgoing coach Afshin Ghotbi felt that, simply by reaching Qatar quarterfinals in her team had achieved "size", because of its resources.

"The Iranian football is so much to resolve the problem, if it is going to compete at the highest level and to be successful," said Ghotbi. "We have a lot of growing to do.

"It starts the infrastructure and the coaches, players and clubs, a link to the youth system and professional groups, and then, on the basis of the national team training" Ghotbi added. "South Korea and Japan have created good models and in international competitions. We need to look at these templates, and learn from them, because if you want to win consistently, you need to build the long term. "

Saudi Arabia, another former powerhouse in the first round of the region made humiliating Exit after three straight losses, promising u.a.e. registered one point before going home after the Group also.

Emirates has never had a problem finding raw talent. It reached the 2003 World Youth Championships, which won the Golden Ball Ismaeil Matar, the best player is also included in the Spanish of Argentina's Andres Iniesta, Tevez, Carlos Alves tournament quarterfinals Brazilian Dani.

Matar, then 19, was linked to the French first Division, but his club Al-Wahda refused to release him from his contract, and he has been there ever since.

Create a League, which is lagging behind, and coaching and physical education, where the UAE national team made little tangible progress since 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

And even if several players have experienced in Europe called in South Korea, Japan and Australia, there is only one player anywhere in Europe's top leagues, the Gulf region: Oman goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi (currently, Shamrock Bolton loan).

India cannot even boast. The country has only one stadium fit to host a World Cup qualifier and the Asian Championships during its coach Bob Houghton repeatedly called on the country's Football Federation in its domestic infrastructure overhaul.

"No shortcuts," the Englishman said. "We need, make sure that our domestic program is good, then we can start producing players to improve the national team."

China, India, the forward, the world's largest population, was second in the country:-ran at Qatar. Bora Milutinovic, well traveled-bus, which once was responsible for the people's Republic of China, says the country will remain due to the widespread corruption in the outsider and the poor lack of organization. He said, his native Serbia, Belgrade, the capital of the population of less than 8 million Registered players alone had more than China.

Bin Hammam said the efforts to bring it to the AFC continues in the domestic football (soccer) throughout the region to set up the European standards.

"For the most part, you can use our Association of amateurs, for their players or semiprofessional, where football is not in their lives," Qatari said. "Now, we are introduced to professional football in Asia.

"Of course, the environment is still not complete since May we have the professional players, but not limited to professional organizations. I believe that we are doing a tremendous job. We are responsible for Europe. "We know we have every year, Close this difference to us."

Judging by the World Cup performance alone, you feel the difference is still wide. Last year in South Africa, Japan and South Korea at the end of their groups, but it fell to the next round and semifinals from South Korea in 2002, continues to run in the Asia-Pacific region, the best performance of the World Cup.

Qatar, apparently limitless resources, competitive group hopes to have, but feel 2022 Japan and South Korea once again to the confidence in the Asia-Pacific region.

AP Sports Writers Michael Casey, and Nesha Starcevic contribute to this report.
