Eric Buhain is no longer chairman of the Games and Amusements Board. He has been appointed as a director of the Bureau of Immigration by President Arroyo.
Insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports learned that Buhain’s appointment as a BID director took effect on March 15. The position carries a guaranteed six year term although the appointment may be questioned as a violation of the election ban.
The former multi-titled Southeast Asian Games swimmer who also represented the Philippines in the Asian Games and the Olympics was originally appointed as Chairman of the Philippine Sports Commission but was transferred to the GAB as chairman which was regarded as effectively a demotion.
Appointed as OIC of the GAB was Commissioner Ramon Guanzon of Bacolod City. He was named commissioner reportedly with the backing of congressman Monico Puentevella.
