The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) leadership will continue to move forward under newly-appointed Chairman Richard Bachmann.

Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman Richard Bachmann and erstwhile chief Nolie Eala shake hands after the simple turnover ceremony.

In a simple turnover ceremony held at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila today, previous PSC chief Jose Emmanuel “Noli” Eala formally passed on the PSC Chairmanship to Bachmann, as the latter fully accepted the challenge as the new captain of the PSC ship.

Bachmann expressed his gratitude to his predecessor who served as the 11th chairman of the commission and led the successful return of the Batang Pinoy National Championships grassroots program to face-to-face competition in 2022.

“I would like to thank and honor former Chairman Noli Eala for his service and dedication to supporting our National Sports Associations and national athletes. I look forward to learning more about the programs that are in the pipeline, as well as those that are already being implemented,” Bachmann said.

Likewise, Eala thanked Bachmann for giving him the opportunity to share his thoughts and knowledge he gained during his stint as the PSC Chairman. He assured the new agency head of his full support.

Bachmann also thanked the PSC workforce who continue to play an important part in the overall role of the agency in Philippine sports, as the PSC celebrates its 33rd anniversary this month. The PSC was established as the national sports agency by virtue of Republic Act 6847 on January 24, 1990, replacing Project Gintong Alay.
