Sports broadcaster Chino Trinidad said he will face the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) board once he returns to Manila to formalize his resignation from as the league’s commissioner.
"Oo, tapusin ko lang itong misyon ko at magpapaalam na ako ng maayos sa PBL Board at magpapasalamat para sa tiwalang ibinigay nila sa aking sa nakalipas na sampung taon," Trinidad said in an email.
Trinidad is currently in Arlington, Texas to cover the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight clash between defending champion Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey.
He earlier expressed his intent to resign from his PBL post through an electronic message via social network Facebook.
Trinidad, who has served as PBL’s commissioner since 2000, said he resigned because he has “lost passion for the sport”.
His “resignation” caught Harbour Centre owner and amateur basketball godfather Mikee Romero and PBL chairman emeritus Raymund Yu by surprise.
Romero and Yu said they will try to talk to Trinidad when the 41-year-old PBL executive returns from his coverage.
“If it is true, then the league will lose a great leader. But no matter what happens, the league must go on, the show must go on,” said Yu in an interview.
Romero, whose franchise took a leave of absence this PBL conference, echoed Yu’s sentiment.
“I was surprised to read it in the papers. I know his passion for sports, especially for basketball. But I will still try to talk to him,” added Romero. “He spent 10 good years of his life in the PBL, so maybe we can still do something about it.”
