THERE was nothing fancy about the instructions given to him by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. when Patrick Gregorio was hand-picked to take over as the new Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman.

And he vowed to implement it.

“Improve facilities, take care of athletes, healthy citizenry, these were my marching orders from the President,” said Mr. Gregorio during Tuesday’s turnover ceremony that was graced by his predecessor Richard Bachmann at the agency’s office inside the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.

Of course, winning in international competitions is also a priority.
