The certificate, handed by GAB Commissioner Angel P. Bautista, was signed by GAB Chairman Eric R. Buhain and Bautista and was done ?this 25th day of August 2007.?
It reads: ?In recognition of his invaluable contributions to Philippine Boxing by providing opportunities to deserving Filipino boxers to fight for regional as well as world boxing championships thereby putting the country permanently in the World Boxing Map.?
