Sports Summit binuksan ni Pres. Duterte

MANILA, Philippines — Itinuring ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang sports bilang isang instrumento sa pagkakaisa ng sambayanan sa gitna ng kinakaharap na coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Pormal na binuksan kahapon ng Presidente ang National Sports Summit 2021 sa virtual rites via zoom.

“My warmest greetings to the Philippine Sports Commission as it spearheads the National Sports Summit 2021,” wika ni Pangulong Duterte sa kanyang recorded video message. “This online sports lecture-forum is indeed timely as we turn to sports as a means to move forward and engendered national unity especially as we deal with a COVID-19 pandemic.”

Ang NSS 2021 ay isang three-phased project ng PSC kung saan ang lahat ng mga datos na makukuha sa Sports Conversations online conference ay gagamitin ng sports agency sa paglalatag ng mga resolusyon.

Ito ang maaaring sundin ng mga sports leaders, lawmakers at stakeholders para sa pagpapaunlad sa Philippine sports.

“Conducting this initiative through this online platform proves that sports can still be a tool in promoting excellence and instilling pride in the hearts of our people even as we prepare for the new normal,” ani Pangulong Duterte. “I urge all the participants to continue your worthwhile endeavors so that we may empower further all Filipinos especially the youth.”

Pinuri naman ni Senate Committee on Youth and Sports chairman Sen. Bong Go ang PSC para sa pagdaraos ng online sports summit. “I would like to thank and congratulate the Philippine Sports Commission for organizing this important activity that highlights the value of sports in society,” aniya.
