A.Administrative aspect

Apparently, a new coaching staff needed to be put together since a year ago because the coaching staff had been "put on leave of absence".

It could be resolved, since a year ago, by addressing it -- a year ago.

Solve the problem.

If a new coaching staff could not be found, the advice is to ask for help.

Use problem-solving skills.

Solve the problem. Mukhang nuong isang taon pa. Solve the problem. Kung wala -- wala talaga, sabihin na wala, wala po tayong makita na coaching staff, tulungan nyo po kami maghanap. Hwag ibalik-balik sa pinanggalingan. Be straightforward and solve the problem.

B.On the substantive issues raised

Outside of any processes, a policy statement can be made on "fundraising" activities
