Ramirez urges more Pagcor funding for PSC
|
|
By Krista Angela M. Montealegre, Reporter
William “Butch” Ramirez said that if there was one thing he was
not able to do in his tenure as chairman of the Philippine Sports
Commission (PSC), it is giving the sports body its rightful share of
the budget.
“One thing I was not able to do was to
convince Efraim Genuino [president of the Philippine Amateur Gaming
Corp. or Pagcor] to implement Republic Act 6847, the law that would
give the PSC the five percent gross income of Pagcor,” said
Ramirez, who resigned as PSC chairman after the 15-man RP team came
home empty-handed from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
