Weatherproof in Congress
SPORTING CHANCE By Joaquin M. Henson

It’s appropriate that Yeng Guiao is the coach of the PBA team Rain Or Shine because as a public servant, his track record shows he has delivered regardless of weather conditions. He’s no fair-weather politician. Guiao comes through, rain or shine, and it’s for this reason why he deserves a second term as congressman of the first district of Pampanga. He’s running for reelection in tomorrow’s polls.
Guiao, 57, served as board member and a three-term vice governor before gaining his first mandate as congressman so he came well-prepared for the job. It’s been 15 years since Guiao won as provincial board member in 2001. The experience has gone a long way in making Guiao a seasoned legislator with 31 House bills authored.
One of Guiao’s measures was making CPR a requirement for high school graduation in public and private schools. The bill has been approved by the House and is now on third reading at the Senate. There’s a possibility that it may be passed into law before the next administration takes over. Guiao called it the Samboy Lim Law, referring to the former PBA star who suffered a heart attack on the bench during a basketball game and was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. Lim was without oxygen for 23 minutes and if only CPR was administered, he would’ve recovered quickly. Doctors revived Lim in the emergency room and today, he is wheelchair-bound, conscious but unable to speak or see.
Known as a fierce competitor who defies all odds, Guiao recently went to the Supreme Court to compel PAGCOR and the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office to remit the amounts stipulated by law to the PSC. Under the law, PAGCOR is supposed to give up five percent of its gross income and PCSO, 30 percent of revenues from six sweepstakes or lottery draws annually to the PSC. But since 1993, the PSC has received only about half of what it should’ve. To clear the air on the issue once and for all, Guiao took the case to the Supreme Court because haggling for what should be remitted hasn’t gotten the PSC anywhere.
A court competitor himself, Guiao played basketball at La Salle Greenhills high school and UP in the UAAP. He earned a degree in industrial engineering at UP in 1983, became a PSC consultant and served as PBL commissioner. Guiao is a former national team coach and in the PBA, has captured six titles, two with Swift, three with Red Bull and one with Rain Or Shine.
