Visayas FPL Tournament
PFF plan to start this regional tournament in first quarter 2009;
nothing seems to have come of this
Mindanao FPL Tournament
PFF plan to start this regional tournament in second quarter of 2009;
nothing seems to come of this
NB: apparently the AFC are trying to set up a 'viable' national
league in the framework of the Vision Philippines programme,
and the FPL is discontinued; workshops are being held to
'begin the process of charting a bold new future for the sport'
in the Philippines, starting with the province of Cebu as a
'pilot project'.
