Working wonders at PSC

It's been only a little over two months that Patrick Gregorio has served as PSC chairman yet what he's done so far could fill volumes of narratives chronicling his achievements.

He's called Pato for short and when he was tasked to organize the recent MPTC Tour of Luzon, DuckWorld Philippines was the vehicle that brought back to life the country's obsession with road racing. The Tour was Gregorio's last private venture before he was called in to take over PSC.

Sports has always played a big part in Gregorio's life. He was BAP-SBP executive director, ABAP secretary-general, POC secretary-general, PBA chairman, MVPSF executive vice president, Smart Sports executive director, Manila SEA Games Organizing Committee director general and president of the Philippine Rowing Association. Every step of his sports journey, Gregorio has left a legacy to inspire others to follow in his footsteps. Under his watch, the Philippines participated in rowing at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics. Cris Nievarez was the first Filipino rower in 20 years to compete at the Olympics and broke through in Tokyo. Then, in Paris, Joanie Delgaco made waves.
