BAGUIO CITY – City officials recently requested the Sports and Recreation Division of the City Administrator’s Office to fast track the processing and release of sports incentives to the Baguio ‘City athletes and coaches who participated in the different local and international sports tournaments, such as the Batang Pinoy Games and the Philippine National Games.
Under Resolution No. 749, series of 2024, local legislators stated that the timely release of sports incentives is essential to acknowledge and reward the hard work and the success of the said athletes and coaches, and to encourage continued excellence in sports among them.
The city government recognizes the dedication and achievements of its athletes and coaches who have represented the city in events, such as the Philippine Youth Games also known as Batang Pinoy, and the Philippine National Games.
The council claimed that the Batang Pinoy, an initiative of the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), has played a significant role in identifying and nurturing youth athletes.
Further, targeting children under age 15, the event demonstrates the nation’s dedication and commitment in producing the next generation of athletes.
On the other hand, the Philippine National Games is a multi-sports competition run by the PSC to determine the potential makeup of the national team that will compete internationally in events like the Southeast Asian Games, Asian Games and the Olympic Games.
Copies of the approved resolution will be transmitted to the Sports and Recreation Division under the City Administrator’s Office for information, guidance, ready reference and further needed action. By Dexter A. See
