GAMES and Amusements Board chairman Abraham “Baham” Mitra only has one bit of advice to whoever succeeds him at the helm of the government agency regulating professional sports in the country.Mitra, a former three-term congressman and governor of Palawan before being appointed by President Duterte as GAB chairman in 2016, said he followed this veary simple formula during his term at GAB.
“I’m okay. I’m ready to go. I’m excited to go back to private life,” Mitra told the forum presented by San Miguel Corp., Milo, Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, Unilever, Amelie Hotel Manila and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.“So far, no communication and no news. We are giving courtesy to the president,” said Mitra, who is looking forward to a smooth transition to the next administration.
Mitra is proud of his accomplishments as GAB chairman, and admitted facing serious challenges caused by the deadly pandemic. The only regret, Mitra said, was that because of the lack of funds, he wasn’t able to fully provide the assistance to retired pro athletes, including those in the brutal sport of boxing, and even their promoters.
