Curling Winter Sports Association of the Philippines Inc. president Benjo Delarmente competes at the Potomac Curling Club competition in Maryland.THE newly-formed Curling Winter Sports Association of the Philippines Inc. headed by Benjo Delarmente applied for membership with the Philippine Olympic Committee with an immediate mission of fielding a national team to the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Apelar is the president of the Philippines Ski and Snowboard Federation who was with Delarmente during the campaign of Filipino-American skier Asa Miller at the Beijing Winter Olympics last year. The CWSAP needs the POC’s recognition to be admitted by the World Curling Federation, which recognizes only Thailand in the Southeast Asian region.“It has both mental and physical components to it,” Delarmente said. “You can also describe curling as a combination of bowling, billiards and chess on ice—three sports activities that Filipinos love.”
