Chito Loyzaga has tendered his resignation as commissioner of the Philippine Sports Commission.
A PSC insider who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to divulge the details said that Loyzaga has already informed President Aquino through a resignation letter about his “irrevocable resignation” which will take effect at the end of the April.
The source said that Loyzaga cited his ailing father, basketball legend Caloy Loyzaga, as the reason for his resignation saying that the 81-year-old former member of the Mythical Five during the 1954 World Championships is still recovering from a stroke in Australia.
Chito Loyzaga is reportedly in Australia to be with his family.
A PBA standout who played for several teams, most notably with Ginebra San Miguel, Loyzaga was appointed as commissioner in 2010 along with PSC chairman Ritchie Garcia and fellow commissioners Jolly Gomez, Akiko Thomson-Guevara and Salvador Andrada.
He was also appointed as the executive director before Atty. Guillermo Iroy, Jr. took over that post in March.
