IBIBIGAY ng Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) board ang lahat ng suporta na kailangan nang national athletes na sasabak sa major international events.

“It is our goal to touch every single province in the country, and provide a comprehensive program for Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao,” Wika ni PSC Chairman Richard Bachmann, na panauhin sa Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex Martes.

Sinabi ni Bachmann na ang ahensya ay maglunsad ng tatlong regional competitions para sa Philippine National Games sa fourth quarter ng 2023 at national finals na nakatakda sa first quarter ng 2024.

Samantala, ang Batang Pinoy ay ilulunsad ang kanilang regional legs sa third quarter ng 2024 at national championship sa 2025.

“We have to make sure our grassroots sports programs go in the right way. Our goal is to eliminate the gap of grassroots to the elite, and that is through connecting them to the national sports associations,” Sambit ng sports agency chief.

“It is building a career path for all these athletes. If we did this in Cebu, if we can replicate it all over the Philippines, we cannot only have one Hidilyn [Diaz], one [Elreen] Ando, we can have probably fifteen of them with the right program,” Tugon ni Commissioner Edward Hayco, na sinamahan ng kapwa Commissioners Bong Coo at Fritz Gaston.

Ibinahagi rin ng PSC opisyal ang kanilang karanasan at evaluation ng Team Philippines’ sa nakaraang 32nd SEA Games sa Cambodia.

“I don’t want the PSC to just be the funding arm to our elite level athletes. We really have to get involved in working with the Philippine Olympic Committee, see common ground and understand each sport and its NSAs. We should take full responsibility in caring for our athletes,” Banat ni Bachmann.

Sinabi ng chairman na ang PSC ay bobuo ng task-force kasama ang POC na magtatag ng komprehensibong pamantayan na susuporta sa national athletes na sasabak sa 19th Asian Games sa China sa Setyembre.
