Pato Gregorio is PSC’s workhorse
Manila Bulletin
|October 17, 2025
Just a little over three months into his position, Patrick "Pato" Gregorio has been doing a marvelous job as the chairman of the Philippine Sports ‘Commission.
Appointed last July1, 2025 by President Marcos, Gregorio became the third head of the sports agency under the current administration after the short stint of Noli Eala and the three-year term of Richard Bachmann.
With his wings fully extended and his role crucial to national pride and development, the amiable executive has gone to places like an envoy of prosperity to aspiring athletes needing assistance and exposure, local government units looking for framework and something to workon, and has given the nation a pathway driven on the potential of sports and tourism.
Hewouldn'teven settle and cooldown, evident on the agency's recent social media posts where he flies and connects with key stakeholders here in the metro and anywhere in the Philippines.
Gregorio isn't quiet — he lets the world know the PSC is active and mandated by law to do so. He is just purely dedicated and tireless.
