Bro. Armin, humanga sa kahandaan ng DavNor

Mahigit isang buwan pa bago simulan ang 2015 Palarong Pambansa subalit umani na ang host Davao del Norte ng mataas na marka mula sa  Department of Education (DepEd).

Idinekara ni DepEd Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro ang Davao del Norte na posibleng maging pamantayan para sa mga nagnanais na makapag-host ng mga susunod na edisyon ng  Palaro.

“We were not harassed for this Palarong Pambansa 2015. ‘Way ahead of schedule, there’s been no rushing on the part of the hosts,” ani Luistro sa opisyal na paglulunsad ng event sa Bulwagan ng Lalawigan ng  Davao del Norte.

“We are looking at this year as the standard or benchmark for succeeding Palaro,” dagdag ni  Luistro na sinamahan sa okasyon ng iba pang DepEd officials, kabilang na sina Palarong Pambansa secretary general Undersecratary Tony Umali.

Pormal ding inilunsad sa okasyon ang DavNor Palaro website (www.davnorpalaro2015.com), ang gagamiting Palaro official music video at unang  komprehensibo at 64-na pahinang guidebook na naglalaman ng hanggang sa kaliit-liitang detalye tungkol sa Palaro, kabilang na ang mga itinalagang billeting venues, transportation, medical assistance, communications, tourism, security at iba pa.

Ang DavNor Palaro 2015 guidebook na maaring ihalintulad sa  Olympics at Asian Games guidebooks ang magsisilbing bibliya ng Palaro.

“It is the privilege of our province to host the Palarong Pambansa 2015, an opportunity that we finally grasped after years of thorough planning and persistence,” ayon kay Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario. “This is our time to prove that we have the capacity to host a prestigious national event worthy of being called ‘The Best Palaro Ever.”

“This Palaro speaks the language of the young generation,” dagdag pa ni Del Rosario. “ It is through these games that we will not only promote the youth and sports but also the province as the “Banana Capital of the Philippines. “

Bukod sa paglulunsad, idinaos din sa nasabing pagtitipon ang games’ second technical congress,  executive meeting ng  DepEd’s 17 regional directors at ocular ng competition venues at billeting facilities.

Palaro get high marks from DepEd

TAGUM CITY – The cauldron for the 2015 Palarong Pambansa will be lit in 37 days yet but host Davao del Norte has reaped flying A marks from no less than the Department of Education (DepEd).

DepEd Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro has declared Davao del Norte looks bound to set a benchmark for all future editions of the annual Palaro.

“We were not harassed for this Palarong Pambansa 2015. Way ahead of schedule, there’s been no rushing on the part of the hosts,” Luistro said in Thursday’s official launch of the May 3 to 9 Palaro at the Bulwagan ng Lalawigan of the Davao del Norte provincial capitol.

“We are looking at this year as the standard or benchmark for succeeding Palaro,” added Luistro, who was accompanied in the launch by top DepEd officials, including Palarong Pambansa secretary general Undersecratary Tony Umali.

Also officially launched in the well-attended ceremony were the DavNor Palaro website (www.davnorpalaro2015.com), the games official music video and a first-ever comprehensive 64-page guidebook that provides even the minutest details about the games – from specifics on billeting venues, transportation, medical assistance, communications, tourism, security, among others.

The DavNor Palaro 2015 guidebook—which could stand heads and shoulders even with Olympic and Asian Games guidebooks—will be the bible for this summer’s games.

“It is the privilege of our province to host the Palarong Pambansa 2015, an opportunity that we finally grasped after years of thorough planning and persistence,” Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario said in his message in the launch. “This is our time to prove that we have the capacity to host a prestigious national event worthy of being called ‘The Best Palaro Ever.’”

Home for Palaro athletes ready

Davao del Norte — The sign on the gate is clear and simple: “Ready For Occupancy.”

The billeting assignments for athletes and officials for the 2015 Palarong Pambansa were drawn Friday last week and what the facilities only need are the athletes and officials—10,000 or so of them—who will vie in the annual multi-sport competition to be hosted by Davao del Norte this summer from May 3 to 9.

“We are proud to say that every billeting center is “Ready For Occupancy!” Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario said. “Similar with our playing venues, we are ready to host the Palaro anytime, even tomorrow.”

Making Davao del Norte unique from previous Palarong Pambansa hosts is the strategic location of its billeting facilities from the Davao del Norte Sports Complex, according to Del Rosario.

“Travel time from the billeting areas to the competition venues and back will be convenient to everyone,” Del Rosario explained.

Putting premium on road safety at a maximum 35 kph within the confines of the capital to 60 kph in the outskirts, ferrying the student athletes and officials to the sports complex would border from a quick one minute drive at the minimum to 39 minutes at the maximum.

Of the 22 billeting facilities, only three are outside a 5-km radius from the sports complex.

“The athletes could just even walk to the competition if they would desire to,” Del Rosario said.

Competitions will be in the traditional 18 sports in the Davao del Norte Palaro. All 17 regions will be represented in the annual competition for student athletes in the primary and secondary level.

DavNor, ‘di na mapipigilan pa!

Ito ang mga mensaheng nakalagay sa mga gate ng itinalagang billeting quarters para sa mga atleta at opisyales na kalahok sa 2015 Palarong Pambansa sa Davao del Norte sa Mayo 3 hanggang 9.

Naganap noong nakaraang Biyernes ang draw para sa magiging billeting assignments ng lahat ng mga rehiyong kasama at tanging ang mahigit sa 10,000 mga atleta at opisyales ang kulang na lamang sa lugar.

“We are proud to say that every billeting center is “Ready For Occupancy!,” ayon kay Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario. “Similar with our playing venues, we are ready to host the Palaro anytime, even tomorrow.”

Maituturing na kakaiba ang Davao del Norte sa ibang mga naunang host ng Palarong Pambansa dahil sa pagkakaroon nila ng strategic location para sa kanilang billeting facilities sa main venue ng kompetisyon- ang Davao del Norte Sports Complex- ayon pa kay Del Rosario.

“Travel time from the billeting areas to the competition venues and back will be convenient to everyone,” pagmamalaki pa nito.

Pinagtuunan ng pansin ang road safety sa maximum na 35 kilometer per hour sa paligid ng kapitolyo hanggang 60 kph sa pamamagitan ng paghahatid ng mga atleta at opisyales sa sports complex sa loob lamang ng isang minuto hanggang 39 minuto.

Sa itinalagang 22 billeting facilities, tatlo lamang ang nasa labas ng 5-km radius mula sa sports complex.

“The athletes could just even walk to the competition if they would desire to,” ani Del Rosario.

Talaingod DavNor Runners, hahataw sa Palarong Pambansa

Sa itaas na bahagi ng lalawigan ng Davao del Norte matatagpuan ang second class na munisipalidad na kung tawagin ay ang tribong Ata-Manobo.

Umaabot sa mahigit na 25,000 ang populasyon, ang ikinabubuhay ng mga ito ay ang pagsasaka habang nakahiligan naman ng mga kabataan sa tribo ang pagtakbo.

Sa darating na Mayo 3-9 sa pagiging punong-abala ng Davao del Norte sa 2015 Palarong Pambansa sa kapitolyo ng Tagum City, nakatakdang makipagtagisan ng galing ang mga kabataang runner ng Talaingod, mas kilala bilang Talaingod DavNor Runners, sa mga atletang mag-aaral sa buong bansa.

Ipakikita nila ang husay ng mga taga-Davao del Norte sa larangan ng palakasan, partikular sa takbuhan kung saan ay hangad ni Governor Rodolfo del Rosario na makilala ang kanilang lugar bilang ‘Kenya of the Philippines’ o sentro ng running sa bansa.

“It started with a vision to maximize the inherent physical prowess of lumad children who had been traversing the high altitude terrain to and from school,” ani Del Rosario. “Training to run is the lumad children’s daily way of life.”

Ang Talaingod DavNor Runners, ay isang naiibang sports development program na inilunsad noong Abril 28, 2014, halos kaalinsabay ng pagpapahatag ng lalawigan ng kanilang intensiyon na maging host ng Palaro sa pangunguna ni Talaingod Mayor Basilio Libayao. 

“The Palaro is a great opportunity for LGUs to showcase whatever strength they have in terms of sports,” ayon pa kay Del Rosario. “DavNor has the Talaingod runners who are fitting examples that, being given this attention and importance, means so much to them.”

Ang grupo ay binubuo ng apat na batang lalaki at anim na babae na pinili mula sa may 200 kabataang Ata-Manobo. 

Sumailalim sila sa isang children special daily training program na inihanda ni Professor Renato Unso, ang bagong secretary general ng Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association (PATAFA). 

Ang mga kabataang babae ay binubuo nina Rochell Anggol, 13; Rica Andil, 11; Jeanneth Mansumilay, 15; Jesme Baucon, 11; Relyn Calooy, 14; at Shiela Mae Bantao, 14; habang ang mga lalaki ay binubuo nina Ruben Enggo Jr., 15; Junior Lito Mabanag, 12; Ronald Dauban, 13; at Joshue Tiwog, 15.

Nagsimulang umani ng tagumpay ang mga kabataang runner matapos magwagi ng limang gold, anim na silver at dalawang bronze medals sa nakaraang Davao Regional Athletic Association para makuwalipika sa Palarong Pambansa.

“Sana po makatapos ako ng high school hanggang college para po matulungan kong maiahon sa hirap ang pamilya ko,” ani Baucon, miyembro ng gold medal-winning 4×100 meters relay team sa nakaraang DAVRAA.
