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.’”
