Ina Andolong ng CNN, na tameme kay Spokes Panelo sa sagot tungkol sa SEA Games

In a press conference by Spokesman Salvador Panelo to the Malacanang Press Corps, a known reporter of CNN Philippines asked a question about some deficiency in organizing the preparation for the SEA games, particularly the scoreboard that was not present in the first football game, Panelo answered it well by saying that the scoreboard is just a small issue.

Andalong went on to argue that it was not a small issue but a big one for the athletes. Panelo then replied that the scoreboard was not for the athletes, it was for the spectators. Panelo said that as long as temporarily scores were being done by football officials, it is not that big an issue. Precisely the scoreboards are made for the those who watched the game, the audience.

Andalong wanted Panelo to expound on the mistakes that was done by the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee and its main merchants, the hotels and other personalities in charge with the facilities. Panelo answered that the main issue only was the issue on some athletes who was not able to check in at the hotel at a desired time. "They could have transferred them to another hotel, Panelo added, they should have a plan B or a back up plan if those circumstances happen."

Panelo answered the question brilliantly, particularly the scoreboards issue. Panelo implied that the scoreboards are for the spectators and not for the athletes.
