Pato Gregorio takes oath as PSC chairman
Newly appointed Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman John Patrick "Pato" Gregorio took his oath of office on Wednesday.
Gregorio took his oath before Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, the PSC said.
Present during the ceremony were Bases Conversion and Development Authority Chairperson Hilario Paredes and Gregorio's family.
Gregorio replaced Richard "Dickie" Bachmann. In partnership with the Philippine Olympic Committee, the Philippines continued to achieve success in the global sporting scene during Bachmann's term.
Under Gregorio, the Philippines will also compete in the 2025 Southeast Asian Games this December and will host at least two international events: the FIVB World Championship in September and the inaugural FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup in November.
Gregorio previously served as chairman of the PBA during its 40th season and president of the Philippine Rowing Association. — Anna Felicia Bajo/VBL, GMA Integrated News
