MANILA -- The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) has a new president.

John Anthony Gutierrez of Bukidnon FA was selected by the PFF's regional associations and voting clubs to succeed Mariano "Nonong" Araneta as the head of the national federation during elections held on Saturday in Muntinlupa City.
