Palaro winners to get incentives

GENERAL SANTOS CITY: The Department of Education (DepEd) in Region 12 has set aside some P1 million for the cash incentives of the winning athletes and coaches in the 2016 Palarong Pambansa.

Arturo Bayocot, DepEd Region 12 director, said Friday they increased the allotment for the cash incentives to further motivate their athletes to compete and win medals for the region.

He said the Region 12 or Soccsksargen Regional Athletic Association’s (SRAA) “motto” for this year’s Palaro is to “Go for gold!”

The 2016 Palaro will use anew the medal scheme instead of the point system for the ranking or standing of the participating delegations.

“More medals mean better placement for us in the standings,” said Bayocot, who heads the SRAA delegation.

For the cash incentive, he said they will give out P15,000 for every gold medal, P5,000 for silver and P3,000 for bronze.

“This is on top of the cash incentives that will be given by the local government units (LGUs),” he said.

South Cotabato province has allotted some P350,000 from its Special Education Fund (SEF) for the cash incentives of winning athletes from the area.

It has set an incentive of P10,000 for gold, P7,000 for silver and P5,000 for the bronze medalists.

Koronadal City promised to give P20,000 for the gold medalists, P5,000 for silver and P3,000 for bronze while Sultan Kudarat will grant P5,000 for gold, P3,000 for silver and P2,000 for bronze.

North Cotabato has initially allotted P8,000 for each gold medalist.

Bayocot said the other LGUs are still finalizing cash incentives for their winning athletes, which will also be drawn from their SEFs.

Region 12, which is also known as Soccsksargen, comprises the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and North Cotabato, and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Kidapawan, Tacurong and Cotabato.

DepEd-12 has allotted a total of P13.6 million for the region’s participation in this year’s Palaro, which is slated April 10 to 16 in Legazpi City in Albay.

Such budget covered the 30-day training of the athletes, transportation to Legazpi, food, medical supplies, cash incentives, uniforms, allowances and other expenses.

The DepEd central office released P10.6 million for the region while the rest of the funds came from contributions of the LGUs in the region.

Albay all set for Palarong Pambansa

It’s all set for the staging of the 2016 edition of the Palarong Pambansa scheduled on April 10 to 16 at the Albay Sports and Tourism Complex in Legazpi City, Albay.

More than 10,000 athletes, coaches, officials and expectators are expected to arrive in the multi-sporting event for elementary and secondary students.

This time, there will be 18 regions competing with the addition of the newly-established Negros Island Region.

Defending overall champion National Capital Region as well as powerhouse teams Southern Tagalog Region-A, Western Visayas Region, Central Visayas Region and host Bicol Region will slug it out for the general championship.

Some 200 gold medals are up for grabs in the seven-day meet. There are 15 events in elementary and 17 events in secondary including four demonstration sports—futsal, wushu, billiards and wrestling.

The Department of Education and the local government of Albay are hoping to discover fresh talents from the grassroots level for future international competitions.

The Palarong Pambansa served as springboard of some famous Filipino athletes including multi-titled tanker Eric Buhain, sprint queen Lydia De Vega-Mercado, long jump specialist Elma Muros-Posadas ang former Azkals member Chieffy Caligdong.

Palarong Pambansa was originally named as Bureau of Public Schools-Interscholastic Athletics Association Games (BPISAA).

But the organizers renamed it to Palarong Pambansa in 1974.

NCR set to defend Palaro crown

Powerhouse National Capital Region (NCR) is all set to defend its overall championship crown in the 2016 Palarong Pambansa to be held on April 10 to 16 at the Albay Sports and Tourism Complex in Bicol.

The Big City will be banking on its swimmers and gymnasts to deliver as well as in team events such as basketball and volleyball.

In the 2015 edition held in Tagum City, the NCR tankers dominated the pool with more than 30 gold medals in the bag while the gymnastics team earned 30 mints to power the Big City to the overall title.

NCR also swept the boys’ and girls’ basketball, and won the girls’ volleyball crown.

Overall, NCR pocketed 98 golds, 67 silvers and 71 bronzes.

Southern Tagalog Region-A (Calabarzon) settled for second with 51-41-49 followed by Western Visayas Region (42-28-41), Cordillera Administrative Region (24-22-16), Northern Mindanao Region (19-14-39), Central Visayas Region (18-29-29), Cenral Luzon Region (17-10-21), Soccsksargen Region (13-24-28) and Davao Region (13-23-30).

The Palarong Pambansa serves as springboard for young student athletes who want to become members of the national pool and eventually represent the country in international competitions in the future.

Former Southeast Asian Games Male Most Bemedalled swimmer Eric Buhain and fellow SEA Games champion Akiko Thomson were some of the products of the multisporting event.

NIRAA Meet Organizational Meeting Held at Capitol

The first organizational meeting for the hosting of Negros Island Region Athletic Association (NIRAA) Meet led by Negros Occ. Schools Division Superintendent Jose Freddie Mocon and Supt. Anthony H. Liobet was held at the Provincial Capitol Social Hall, Bacolod City, yesterday.

NIRAA is slated February 8 to 12, 2016 with a total budget of P15.5 Million allotted for the operation of the said regional event.

Considered as the father of NIR, former DILG Sec. Mar Roxas was personally invited by Gov. Alfredo G. Marañon, Jr. to give a message during the opening program; Usec. Reynaldo Antonio Laguda of the Dept. of Education is also expected to give his message.

The organizers have decided to adopt the Philippine Spotted Deer as the official mascot of NIRAA. It was also the official mascot during the Centennial Palaro and Millennium Palaro both hosted by the Province of Negros Occidental in 1998 and in year 2000, respectively.

Nicknamed “Alf”, the said spotted deer, whose scientific name is Cervus Alfredi can be found only in the Philippines and is endemic to the mountains of Negros and Panay, and considered as a reminder of Negros Occidental’s ongoing war to protect the environment.

The committees have already identified the schools in Bacolod City that will be the billeting quarters of the participants, as well as the playing venues.

The opening ceremonies will be held at the Pana-ad Park and Stadium in Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod City.
The executive committee is headed by Gov. Marañon as the honorary chairman, and DepEd Regional Director Gilbert Sadsad as honorary co-chairman while Supt. Mocon is the executive director and Supt. Liobet as co-executive director.

The said meeting was attended by Schools Division Superintendents and Assistant Schools Division Superintendents as well Capitol division heads./Capitol News

2016 Palaro to include Region 18

The Negros Island Region or Region 18 will be included in the 2016 Palarong Pambansa to be hosted by Albay Province, former Negros Occidental governor Rafael Coscolluela.

Presently serving as a provincial consultant for the Negros Occidental, Coscolluela said Department of Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro confirmed that the proposal to include Region 18 in the list of Palaro contingents is “good as approved”.

He said the DepEd and the host province are working on the details of NIR's inclusion in the annual school-based sporting competition.

While the exit of Negros Occidental from the Western Visayas contingent will cost Region 6 a lot of athletes, it can also open opportunities for other West Visayan athletes to excel, Coscolluela said.

Athletes from Negros Occidental accounted for 24 out of the 42 gold medals won by Western Visayas in the 2015 Palarong Pambansa hosted by Tagum City, Davao del Norte.

Western Visayas finished third place overall with 42 gold medals, 48 silvers and 41 bronzes as the National Capital Region dominated the event with 98-67-71 gold-silver-bronze tally, while Southern Tagalog grabbed the second place with 51-41-40 finish.

With only the two Negros provinced under Region 18, he said athletes who will represent NIR to the Palaro will have to be selected instead of holding the usual regional meet.

DepEd, Albay ink deal for 2016 Palarong Pambansa

The Department of Education (DepEd) has signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the provincial government of Albay in connection with the latter’s hosting of the 2016 Palarong Pambansa in Legazpi City.

The MOA stipulates the duties and responsibilities of both parties to ensure a well-managed and professionally-run annual national multi-sporting event.

Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that this year’s staging of the Palaro would have many “firsts,” including the participation of the Negros Island region.

“I want to highlight that this is Albay’s first ever hosting of the Palaro. This is also the first time that 18 regions will take action — not the usual 17 regions —because of the participation of the Negros Island Region,” Luistro said.

Luistro added that this was also the first time that the Palaro would be conducted following very specific provisions of the law.

Based on Republic Act No. 10588, also known as the Palarong Pambansa Act of 2013, the elementary level would have to compete in 15 games and the secondary with 17 games and four demonstration sports, namely futsal, wushu, billiards and wrestling. In addition, four special games will also be conducted for special athletes.

Participated in by elementary and secondary students from public and private schools nationwide, the annual sporting event will be held at the Bicol University, Legazpi City from April 10 to 16, 2016.

“We are institutionalizing this sports program to ensure that we are developing athletes that are of international caliber,” Luistro stressed.

“Together with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and the provincial government of Albay, DepEd will see to it that the standards are at international level and that the coaching staff, the technical officials as well as the playing venues conform to international standards,” the education chief added.

Albay Governor Joey Salceda responded by stating the province’s readiness and eagerness to host the Palaro.

“We want to show that it will be a joyful Palaro. It’s something that celebrates the spirit of national unity, especially in Albay,” said Salceda.

“Gusto naming ipakita na ang isang bayan, no matter how modest, no matter how limited its capacity, will still have the unity and ability to host the Palaro,” Salceda said, highlighting the province’s resiliency or ability to recover from adversity.

Albay handa na sa 2016 Palarong Pambansa

Nakahanda na lahat ng mga pasilidad at venues na pagdarausan ng 2016 Palarong Pambansa sa Abril 9-16 na lalahukan ng mga student-athletes.

Ito ang inilahad ng mga organizer ng 2016 Palaro sa paglagda sa memorandum of agreement (MOA) noong nakaraang Lunes sa tanggapan ng Department of Education (DepEd) sa Pasig City.

Karagdagang dalawang bagong swimming pool at isang tennis court at isang grand stand ang nakahanda sa main venue na Bicol University Sports Complex para sa school-based multi-sports competition na gaganapin sa Albay sa ikalawang pagkakataon sa loob ng 63 taon.

Nakatakda namang isagawa ang mga indoor sports sa ilang mga pribadong paaralan sa Legazpi partikular na sa St. Agnes Academy, Aquinas University at Divine Word College.

Kumpiyansa ang mga organizer ng Palaro na magiging matagumpay ang pagdaraos ng national event na lalahukan ng 17 rehiyon na inaasahang makakatulong ng malaki para mas lalo pang lumakas ang turismo sa lalawigan.

Tinatayang aabot sa mahigit 10,000 kabataang atleta, coaches, trainers at mga magulang bukod pa sa mga kagawad ng media ang dadagsa sa Albay para sa Palaro.

“We really worked hard since we won the bidding last October 28, 2015, ’yung facilities naman na-procure na namin implementation na lang ang kulang. And we really want this to be a touristic Palaro,” ayon kay Albay governor Joey Sarte Salceda.

“Ang Albay naman sa sports na indoor we have the facilities kasi puno kami ng Catholic schools and sa outdoor naman oval lang ang kulang which is provided already,” dagdag pa nito. “Sports tourism is our jump off point. Unang-una, tourism naman kasi ang most horizontal industry. In tourism at least five jobs are created sa short term pa lang ’yun.”

“Our aim is to showcase the beauty of Albay secondary to prove to ourselves that we can host the Palaro,” wika pa ng gobernador. (Marivic Awitan)

Modernong Athletic Bowl, handang-handa na sa CARAA

BAGUIO CITY – Maipagmamalaki ngayon ng pamahalaang lungsod sa mga atleta ang makabago at modernong sports facility ng Athletic Bowl at handing-handa na para magamit sa gaganaping Cordillera Administrative Region Athletic Association (CARAA) meet sa Pebrero 8.

Tiniyak ni Congressman Nicasio Aliping,Jr., na magagamit ng mga atleta, lalong-lalo sa field events ang Athletic Bowl na pinaganda para mas lalong maging agresibo ang mga manlalaro sa darating na pang-rehiyong kompetisyon.

Personal na ininspeksyon ni Aliping ang nasa 90% na ng rehibilitasyon na Athletic Bowl, na inumpisahan na ang paglalagay ng rubberized tartan sa may 400 meter na oval sa tulong ng mga Taiwanese engineer na inaasahang matatapos bago maganap ang CARAA.

“ Maganda na ang weather, kailangan kasi ay mainit ang panahon at huwag sanang umulan para matuloy na matapos ito.

Kailangan ito ng ating mga atleta,lalo na sa mga field events at ito ay ating binabantayan para masiguro na magagamit ito sa CARAA,” pahayag ni Aliping.

Ang rehabilitasyon ng Athletic Bowl ay sinimulan noong 2014 na kinabibilangan ng Phase 1-ang pagsasaayos ng mga main bleacher , Phase 2 – ang pagsisemento ng oval at mga drainage system at bakod at ang Phase 3 -ang paglalagay ng rubberized tartan tracks, na pinangasiwaan ng Department of Public Works and Highway sa ilalim ng RU Aquino Construction, bilang contractor.

Ang kabuuang pondo na P115 milyon na ginamit sa rehabilitasyon ay mula sa national government mula sa initiative ni Congressman Aliping.

Samantala, hinihintay pa ang pagri-release ng counterpart ng siyudad na P60 milyon para sa pagpapaayos ng mga bleachers, lightings, sound system at iba pang pasilidad.
