Former Bacolod City councilor and acting vice mayor Alex Paglumotan announced yesterday his resignation from the position of commissioner of the Games and Amusement Board.

In his letter to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, a copy of which he furnished the DAILY STAR, Paglumotan said his resignation is his personal choice to fulfill his basic obligations to his family and society and noted that he is leaving the wonderful agency "with a heavy heart."

He also acknowledged his appreciation of the opportunity to work with GAB chairman Eric Buhain and other top officals of the Board.

Paglumotan told the DAILY STAR that his act of resigning is, for him, "a supreme sacrifice" because he wants "to put Bacolod City into good hands". Paglumotan was appointed to the GAB by the President on November 23, 2004. His resignation takes effect today.*
