What is Happening to Philippine Chess?

I got this news from facebook that my kababayan Rogelio Antonio, Jr. (he hails from Calapan, Oriental Mindoro) currently the ranked 2 player of the Philippine chess team was ousted from the team due to unknown (though there are varied conflicting reports) reasons.  Reading the items from the blog of Susan Polgar added some major controversies and problems.  If you read the comments you would probably judge what was happening.  Why did they (both parties) discuss it in public where in fact they could talk it privately to settle everything.
