HOUSE BILL No. 9554
Introduced by Rep. Anthony R.T. Golez Tr. MD, MBAH
EXPLANATORY NOTE
In the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, the Philippines won its very first gold
medal. While in the recent 2023 Asian Games, the Philippines regained basketball
gold.  We  are  in a period where  Filipino  athletes  are winning left and right in
international competitions. But the country should not be satisfied, we should not
sit on our laurels. The Philippines must continue improving its performance in
sports to show the world that Filipinos can compete and excel internationally.
This representation adheres to the thought that having great coaches in
various  sports  disciplines will make  the  country continue  its winning ways  in
prestigious international sports events.  Prince Abubakar Danjuma Mohammed
Kutigi or ``Coach Danj" is one of those coaches who can help the country perform
well in international competitions, he is a respected and proven football coach.
Coach Danj is a citizen of Nigeria who wishes to become a Filipino citizen.
This representation trusts that the naturalization of Coach Danj will bring a lot
more to the football scene in the Philippines. Coach Danj has been staying in the
Philippines since 2012. He was a former Striker in the Niger Tornadoes Football
Team.
Coach Danj has worked with a lot of Filipino football players,  especially
young football players. He was the football coach of British School Manila from
2015 to 2022.  He also has an Asian Football Confederation 8 License for football
coaching.  Coach Danj  also  has  coaching stints  in  Gold  FC  in Marikina  Sports
Complex, Kaya FC Academy Kinder, Caribbean FC in Bonifacio Global City.
During  time  that  Coach  Danj  has  stayed  in  the  Philippines,  he  has
contributed a lot to the promotion of football in the Philippines. His naturalization
to become  a  Filipino  citizen is  truly deserving because  he  has wholeheartedly
committed to help in the improvement of the performance of the Philippines in
football, thru training young Filipinos in the sport. This representation believes


that Coach Danj is a Filipino at heart and that is a fact proven thru his years of
sacrifice in helping Filipinos improve their skills in the sport of football.
For the  Filipino people,  approval of the  foregoing bill is earnestly being
sought.
