Sonny Barrios

Renauld N. Barrios, better known as Sonny Barrios, is the seventh commissioner of the Philippine Basketball Association and the current executive director of Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas. Before serving as commissioner, he took on the role in an acting capacity on August 2007 when his predecessor Noli Eala resigned after being disbarred by the Supreme Court. He accepted his election as the commissioner on January 24, 2008 after a deadlock ensued between the league's governors that supported Atty. Chito Salud and Lambert Ramos. The board instead named Barrios as the commissioner.[1][2]
