Chito salud biography examples

Manny pacquiao next fight

We are referring to Atty. The son of the eminent Rudy Salud, whose untimely passing was an irreparable loss to all of us who cared for him deeply because of his human qualities and his remarkable ability to help mold our character in a positive fashion and to teach us the values and virtues of being not just a media man, but an individual imbued with the noble characteristics of a Filipino.

That simply meant, as he would always remind us, to adhere to the principle that integrity is non negotiable and that God and country must come above all else. Regrettably, his son Chito whom we remember as a young man with enormous talent and a sharp legal; mind, has painfully for us, failed to live up to our expectations.

It may mean almost nothing to him, but it means a lot to us because he is the son of a father, whom we loved dearly and respected beyond belief. We can understand his reluctance to bother about the criticism of some PBA teams, because, quite honestly, the truth hurts. That is simply not true. When he was Commissioner, Chito Salud committed to use his persuasive influence and leadership to get the PBA teams to support the national team.

In the end it was only Fred Uytengsu and Alaska who, in commendable fashion, gave coach Tab Baldwin three of the Aces outstanding players in Calvin Abueva, Sonny Thoss and Dondon Hontiveros, which is more than any coach could have asked for. Salud spoke about wanting to focus on the silver lining which he characterized as giving our opponents the element of surprise to widening our pool in the future.

Dear Chito, the need was here and now which would then set the tone for widening the pool in the future. The call to stick together to have more exciting times and to battle through differences, find a common ground and keep advancing the ball sounds too much like a discredited politician rather than the talented son of an illustrious father.
