GAB
pushes for more
local boxing tourneys
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN
The Games and Amusements Board is pushing for more boxing events because it believes that it is the sport where the Philippines, especially Negros, could produce many world champions, GAB chairman Eric Buhain said Friday night.
"GAB prioritizes boxing because it firmly believes that
the country, especially Negros, could produce world-class winners from
the amateur to the professional level," Buhain said during his speech
in the Sports Communicators Organization of the Philippines-Bacolod
induction of officers at the Casino Filipino Hotel.
