(From Malaya)
Chino Trinidad officially announced yesterday that he has resigned as commissioner of the Philippine Basketball league, although league officials have persuaded him to call it "retirement."
Trinidad claimed in yesterday’s PSA Forum at the Shakey’s UN Ave. branch in Manila that he floated the idea of resigning from his post several weeks ago to the PBL board.
"When I signified my intention to resign, sabi nila huwag nang gawing resignation at gawing retirement," Trinidad said in the public service program backed by Outlast Battery, Pagcor, Accel, and Shakey’s.
Trinidad, who accepted the job as commissioner in 2000, added: "Mas maraming contribution ang PBL sa akin kaysa ako sa kanila."
At the same time, he said he was not completely severing his ties with the league, adding he would be more than glad to serve on an unofficial capacity, a statement welcomed by PBL board chairman Ding Camua of Pharex.
"Natutuwa ako na maging part ng PBL and what the PBL has done to me. It has given me a platform and given me the skills that I never had before," said Trinidad. "It has given me an impetus to grow as a person."
Trinidad said he would pursue his other interests, mostly related to his job as news anchor, sportscaster, and boxing commentator.
While the league is looking for Trinidad’s successor, he has recommended that executive director Butch Maniego be named as deputy commissioner to take care of the league’s day-to-day affairs.
"The decision (of appointing a new commissioner) is better left to the PBL board. Whoever takes over must have a grasp of the situation, one who can handle concerns like the TV coverage and the participating teams," said Trinidad. "I believe that maraming brilliant minds na pwedeng mamahala sa basketball."
