I think it is not just the support for the PSA, it is the support for what we do for the Athletes," said PSA President Francis Ochoa."Every time ArenaPlus comes in and supports us, we get a chance to put these athletes in the limelight they deserve. It is huge for us to slow down the news cycle and give the athletes the chance to shine and give them their night, which we don't get a lot."Philippine Sports Commission chairman Patrick Gregorio was named PSA Executive of the Year, while PBA champion coach Yeng Guiao received the President’s Award for his contributions to Philippine sports.Ochoa said the PSA’s initiatives gain wider reach and impact when supported by private partners such as ArenaPlus."As sports journalists, we always appreciate the efforts of companies such as ArenaPlus who come in and consistently support from the ground up. It is a bet that athletes are going to succeed. It inspires them knowing that people are betting on them to succeed," he said."We are really thankful for the continued support of ArenaPlus. We would be thankful for more partnerships."
