Barbers was appointed on November 12, 2002, as general manager of the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. His appointment was legally challenged by his predecessor Nixon Kua who insisted his term should end in 2006, a case Kua lost.[1] Barber's administration also sought for the construction of the PTA Sports Complex within Intramuros which was halted by a court order in 2007.[5][6]
Barbers' term would expire in 2008 and he was succeeded by Mark Lapid.[7]
He is the youngest son of former Senator Robert Barbers.[8]
