Angping, kapalit ni Ramirez

Tuluyan nang kinilala ng Malacañang kahapon si dating softball association president Harry Angping bilang bagong chairman ng Philippine Sports Commission (PSC).

Sisimulan ni Angping ang kanyang bagong trabaho sa PSC ngayong araw kapalit ni William “Butch” Ramirez.

“The Palace hopes that new PSC chair Harry Angping will serve as worthy successor to William Ramirez who gave outstanding service to the commission. The new leadership is expected to further improve the lives of Filipino athletes, foster a nurturing environment, instill integrity, strengthen education and sportsmanship in the country and create a national sports development program that supports and uplifts the Filipino talent and spirit,” ani Deputy Presidential Spokes-woman Lorelei Fajardo.

Si Angping ay ang dating pangulo ng Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines (ASA-PHIL) at dating kinatawan ng Maynila sa Kongreso.

Bago iluklok bilang pang walong chairman ng sports commission, itinalaga muna si Angping ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo bilang special envoy ng bansa sa China.

Si Angping ang siyang naging campaigner ni shooting association chief Art Macapagal, half-brother ni Pangulong Arroyo, sa nakaraang presidential election ng Philippine Olympic Committee (POC). (Russell Cadayona)
