Philippine Table Tennis Federation, Inc. (PTTFI)

The table tennis federation in the Philippines · Philippine Table Tennis Federation

The Philippine Table Tennis Federation, Inc. (PTTFI) traces its roots to the Table Tennis Association of the Philippines (TATAP), formed in 1951; after the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) de-recognised TATAP as a National Sports Association in 2016, PTTFI was formed to replace it and was certified as the sole POC-recognised governing body for table tennis. It is affiliated to the ITTF, the Asian Table Tennis Union and the Southeast Asian Table Tennis Association, and is led by a president (Ting Ledesma) and chairman (Atty. Domingo Panlilio). It has hosted Asian Table Tennis Championships (1957, 1963) and ITTF World Tour Challenge Series events (2014, 2015) in the Philippines, and its athletes have represented the country at the Olympics and Paralympics (including Paralympic medallist Josephine Medina).
