BAP/SBP Executive Director

After months of just talking over the phone, finally I have met our new BAP/SBP Executive Director Patrick C. Gregorio. Patrick who flew in Friday night (September 28) met with Regino "Boy" Cua, BAP Regional Director together with some media personalities and myself to discuss the programs that his office is spearheading.

Gregorio said "We will have national training center and a nationwide inter-collegiate league." He said the national inter-collegiate league won't be in any way compete with existing tournaments like the Champions League of veteran Coach Joe Lipa. Gregorio added "They can continue with their programs, since theirs are private initiative, while we are still conceptualizing the BAP/SBP program."

It was a very fruitful meeting. Patrick is a man of vision plus he wants to see that our basketball development program in the country will really start in the grassroots level.

To Patrick, more power to you my friend!

God bless you...
