Vargas said he’s deeply bothered by the statement of Uytengsu especially as none of the insinuations were ever raised in the PBA board. The MVP Group top executive, now serving a second straight term as PBA board chair, encouraged Uytengsu to attend the board meetings and discuss his grievances there. “(But) what is proper was for him to discuss his grievance with the PBA Board of Governors where his team is ably represented by a governor who is now the vice chairman. Uytengsu hit certain ball clubs for alleged rule violations during the PBA Press Corps Awards Night where he was a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award. Vargas said he’ll leave it to the PBA ethics committee to review Uytengsu’s remarks, and if necessary, to take appropriate action.
