Former PBA chairman Patrick Gregorio steps up as the new Philippine Sports Commission chairman amid the ongoing Marcos administration revamp, ending the three-year term of Richard Bachmann
MANILA, Philippines – A rigodon of Philippine sports officials is in the works as former PBA chairman Patrick “Pato” Gregorio is set to take over the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman role from Richard “Dickie” Bachmann, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin confirmed on Saturday, June 28.
The confirmation comes after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. accepted Bachmann’s courtesy resignation as part of a government-wide revamp, with Gregorio now set to stand as the 13th PSC chairman after Noli Eala in 2022 and Bachmann from 2022 onwards.
While talk of his ascent to the PSC helm has long swirled, Gregorio kept busy in his other endeavors, including but not limited to leading sports and events management group DuckWorld PH as chairman, and heading land developer Landco Lifestyle Ventures.
Alongside the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation under the MVP Group of Companies, Gregorio also stepped up as one of the main organizers of the eight-stage, 1,074-kilometer Tour of Luzon international cycling showpiece.
Gregorio also hosts Rappler’s sports and tourism show, Homestretch.
Also the Philippine Rowing Association president, Gregorio is now about to juggle more duties as PSC chairman, including the possibility of building a new board of commissioners.
Though he also confirmed the chairmanship news, Gregorio did not immediately comment on the appointment and his initial plans upon taking his place in the PSC. – Rappler.com
