This is exploitation plain and simple -- taking advantage of people knowing full well na di kabalibad ang taw tungod kay way choice.

Wa gi-indicate sa news but is this a Filipino family who is exploiting the athletes? Kasagaran sa news na ingani na akong nabasahan kay gi-unay ra sad sa mga Pinoy ang isig ka Pinoy.

ingana jud bai mga pinoy mo unay rag kapwa pinoy mang gamit ug lain tao para sa ikahayahay nila.. maayo ning pang sunogon mga tawhana..

Allan Jay Tuniacao, current PABA super bantamweight champion, has recently filed an exploitation case against his handlers Dido and Jeffrey Bohol, who are running a boxing promotions firm in Australia. News of exploitations surfaced last week when it was reported in Australia media that four Filipino boxers are being mistreated and forced to work in slave-like conditions, often tending to their managers’ personal needs rather than training for their bouts.

Tuniacao has said in a write up by Ronnie Nathanielsz that the Bohols once pocketed a large sum of his prize money. The Bohols, according to the said article, gave Tuniacao a meager $400 for his PABA title bout. The prize money was reported to be $3000.

In a short correspondence with this writer, Tuniacao said that he cannot provide details on the issue but issued a statement regarding the proceedings. Here is the latest statement from Tuniacao’s camp regarding the exploitation case against the Bohols:

“There is no controversy. This is merely exercising boxers’ rights for fair treatment and pre-empt future Filipino boxers being mistreated or unfairly treated by a stable owned and operated by our kababayans. It is for everyone’s good to correct an obvious mistake especially as next generation of Filipino boxers.

The Australian Government is helping and for sure they should be admired at for their swift response in the name of justice, not only for their citizen but as well as citizen of other countries, such as myself and the other Filipino boxers. I am very thankful to the professional manner the Australian Government and its instrumentalities in resolving this issue.

I could not comment about the Australian boxing. As far as I know, I am in a fair country where justice reigns. The issue is not against the Australian boxing circle, it is against a stable owned and operated by our kababayans. We fight as arranged by the matchmakers, so with the rest of the boxers.

There could be some misinterpretations of the news, and this is the reason I don’t want to give further comments than what had already been reported.

Just please tell our boxing friends there to just wait on the result of any proceedings that most likely be scheduled in the very near future.

Reports could be interpreted differently and / or reports could be misreported, hence, it is highly suggested just to wait for the outcome and pray for the main objective of protecting or preventing our Filipino boxers from abuses or mistreatments is achieved.

We will, as Filipino citizen, even we are abroad, to protect one another and we are so fortunate that in this instance we are in a country that will ensure the exercise of the rights of its citizen, and also the citizen of other countries who are being granted visa to stay in Australia, even on a short period such as sports visa.

Things are moving quietly but swiftly here in Australia. This is something that we should admire of this country’s justice system. That’s all I could say at the moment.

Thank you for your concerns and God bless you all there!”

According to this writer’s reliable source, Czar Amonsot, who once fought former world champion Michael Katsidis, has also been mistreated by the Bohols and will file a separate exploitation case against them. Filipino boxers Jack Asis and Flash Villacura, who are also among those who have been mishandled by the Bohols, are expected to follow suit.

The Filipino Boxing Journal is open to any message or statements the Bohols would like to air on this particular matter.
